Flowforma’s Process Automation tool has been key to Breheny Civil Engineering’s ongoing digitalisation, integrating seamlessly into their existing software
Large-scale firm Breheny Civil Engineering are undergoing the digitalisation of their business processes to overcome challenges, with Flowforma’s Process Automation tool easing the way.
Breheny work on a wide range of projects, such as highways, marine, utilities and environmental developments. In working across these highly regulated industries, Breheny sought to establish a complete end-to-end process automation solution- ideally one which could seamlessly slot into their current software stack.
The Flowforma Process Automation tool is already a favourite with civil engineering firms
Road, rail and highway construction firms have already benefited from the Flowforma Process Automation tool‘s ease of use, BIM compliance support, and a swift, strong return on investment. Most digitalisation processes see results within 6 weeks.
Breheny has already fully automated:
- Site Checklists
- Site Audits
- Plant Inspections
- Hot Works Permits
- with another 100 processes identified for digitalistion across multiple departments
Breheny are also utilising Flowforma templates
Additionally, Breheny Civil Engineering are utilising the FlowForma Construction Process Accelerator which empowers users with a wide variety of ready-to-use, fully editable, process templates for digitalising common construction processes.
The Construction Accelerator features process templates for addressing tasks such as: ‘Field Change Request,’ ‘Concrete Pre-Pour Check Sheet,’ ‘Labour Requisition,’ ‘Materials Requisition,’ ‘Hot Work Permit,’ ‘Safety Observation,’ and more.
“We have a lengthy list of use cases identified across the business for digitalisation. We are working with the FlowForma team on their SureStart onboarding program to help us ramp up quickly and deliver fast results. We are excited to work with FlowForma and the operational efficiencies their tool can provide for our entire organisation. It is a game changer for the business!” said a spokesperson at Breheny Civil Engineering.
Processes such as ‘Concrete Pour’ and ‘Permit to Break Ground’ have been identified to quickly improve visibility and governance site-wide, with ‘Site Diaries’ and ‘Inspection Reports’ processes also in the pipeline for development.
Delivering collaboration and compliance
Flowforma’s Mobile App has become a key component in connecting Breheny employees across multiple sites and offices, overcoming obstacles to collaboration.
The Flowforma Mobile App’s offsite capabilities allow processes to be completed and uploaded later when back online.
Olivia Bushe, chief executive officer, FlowForma added: “The construction industry is an area where FlowForma is assisting multiple organisations to overcome current challenges such as the labour skills shortage, project over runs, and resiliency across the sector, producing huge results.
“Going forward, Breheny Civil Engineering will be much more efficient and productive with enhanced visibility of what stage each business process is at. Teams will have much more insight into project timescales and budgetary elements. The complete audit trail will also ensure compliance requirements are met.”
