Improve Project Operations And Streamline Processes
A Semi-Government Engineering & Construction Company wanted to improve the performance on projects along with streamlining the back-office functions. They wanted to:
Leverage technology to manage complex construction projects effectively
Manage resources including 200 core employees and 1200+ skilled and semi-skilled staff
Migrate from the legacy system to reduce manual processes
Enhance reporting, analytics, and data sharing to improve information insights and intelligence
Cost escalations and delays in projects leading to reduced margins / losses
Slow decision making due to lack of real-time data and visibility into operations
Disparate systems leading to inconsistent and inaccurate data
With several moving parts in construction projects, meeting client expectations became extremely challenging
Solutions

TSC was chosen as a strategic technology and advisory partner, quickly becoming an extension of the internal project team

Result
