Eurobati Aquitaine: Optimising remote site monitoring

Saving time to become more competitive

How Eurobati Aquitaine uses PlanRadar for remote site monitoring

The challenge: Optimise processes to save time

For Lucas Hitau, Construction Manager at Eurobati Aquitaine, some specific aspects of the company’s processes had to be reviewed to achieve the company’s objective of strong growth. Among the points identified, one of the changes suggested was to improve communication within the teams on site and between the Site Manager and the Construction Manager.

This could help to save time, particularly time spent on site management. Before using PlanRadar, communication was mainly through meetings and verbal exchanges. This could hinder the flow of work, especially because due to a large number of information sources. Moreover, this way of working increased the margin of error because not all information was kept up to date.

The solution: improve communication processes on site and in the office

To make communication faster and clearer, Eurobati Aquitaine teams are now using several of PlanRadar’s features.

First, the construction plans are digitized and imported into the PlanRadar application. This allows the construction manager and the site manager to access the latest version of the project from their phone or tablet. There is no risk of working on an outdated version of the plan, meaning that errors are avoided.

Secondly, the tasks that need to be performed by different team members are directly entered and pinned to locations on the plans in PlanRadar. This makes communication and remote management easier and clearer. The team particularly values the ability to add photos, which makes it possible to identify the tasks on-site at a glance. Using voice memos or written comments to describe the task also gives each worker a precise understanding of their mission. To achieve its strong growth ambitions over the next few years, Eurobati Aquitaine intends to expand its uses of the software.

The next  objective is to use the reporting templates available in the platform to automate the creation of reports. This will allow the team to save precious time on site monitoring and reporting. The company also plans to increase the number of PlanRadar licenses to meet the increased demand for projects.
