Challenge
From state highways in Assam to healthcare units under the National Health Mission, Nippon Koei India managed hundreds of sub-projects with fragmented visibility. Manual inspections, inconsistent reporting, and dispersed document handling made maintaining quality, ensuring compliance, and meeting aggressive delivery timelines across geographies complex.
Solution
Here is how Inncircles stepped in to resolve the project's challenges -
1
Improving site monitoring and progress tracking
Inncircles enabled easy tracking of labor hours and digital capture of daily progress with automated generation of real-time reports, automated work logs, and live field updates with mobile access. Inncircles’ interactive scheduling tools visualize subcontractor dependencies and minimize bottlenecks.
2
Effortlessly accessing documents through centralized storage
Inncircles ensured seamless collaboration by bringing all stakeholders on a single platform and enabling them to share real-time updates, documents, and drawings to keep everyone on the same page. Overall, the PMC saw a 50% dip in communication issues.
3
Ensuring better safety compliance and incident tracking
Quality control checklists were digitized for efficient inspection tracking, and errors could be documented directly within Inncircles through comments and annotations. The automation of over 30% of safety inspections helped track, review, and approve contractor and subcontractor work with automated certifications to ensure ongoing compliance and reduced site inspection delays by 37%.
4
Identifying and resolving project constraints
With Inncircles, contractor performance can be assessed with built-in evaluation tools for efficient decision-making. Mobile access (with offline capability) allows field teams to provide updates instantly. Finally, the data was collected automatically to generate real-time, in-depth reports showing project costs, timelines, and performance.
5
Streamlining financial planning and payment processing
Automated invoice management ensured the budget was adhered to, there was no financial ambiguity, and subcontractor payment delays were reduced by 40%. These automated invoices were automatically validated against work certifications, ensuring only approved work was paid for. Instant visibility into all financial transactions helped track cash flow and outstanding balances.
