Engie needed to develop a new tailored mobile app quickly: Why?
Too many errors in data entry
Using pen and paper takes time and leads to data entry errors. Using traditional spreadsheets, too, and is impossible to do when on your phone. Not to forget entering bar codes or taking pictures. Reporting only when you're back at the office challenges the memory.
Without the proper tools, sharing and organizing information is hard.
Hard to monitor the results
Engie needed a solution to plan correctly the work on each construction site , monitor and control the progress of their operations in the field, make sure their teams could access and enter information on their mobile phone, and have all the levers to improve their operational efficiency.
In short, the mobility of mobile technicians is still a management problem.
An expensive and time-consuming development
Traditional software development is extremely time-consuming and expensive, and cannot be done by the people who know what needs to be done. Off-the shelf tools are rigid and difficult or impossible to adapt to your real needs.
A solution that allows you to create your own business applications without any programming is the perfect balance.
The need for a new process that would fit their needs and management style was urgent. It included being able to enter data on the go: Mobility is a core part of their business. The implementation time in mobility was up to 3 weeks, and it needed to be reduced.
The initial mobile application took 18 months to develop by 3 developers using traditional software development. When you add maintenance over 5 years, the total cost of ownership (TCO) exceeds 1 million euros.
