Grid For EPC Water Infrastructure Project Execution

Find out how an Indian EPC organization implemented Grid to digitize operations at the field level. The partnership paved the way for the client to streamline communication across stakeholders, improve transparency into project status, and more. 

At a Glance 

Our client is involved in managing turn-key construction activities for reservoirs and pipelines. The scale and complexity of these projects often revealed some deep-rooted efficiencies: 

• Data generally came from multiple touchpoints. This resulted in fragmented reporting
• There was no single tool that provided visibility into material procurement and inventory ageing  
• Filed updates were done manually, often hindering visibility and leading to delays in issue reporting
• Operational issues at ground level issues sometimes went unnoticed, escalating to bigger challenges

‍

Why was Grid’s No-Code Solution Implemented?

The EPC giant deployed Grid for a list of reasons. Field reporting digitization, site management optimization, milestone tracking as they occurred, and more. 

Some key drivers for adoption were: 

• Tracking Tasks & Project Progress: Grid’s Frontline App was used by field workers to update tasks in real-time, along with key details like location and timestamp. 
• Map-based site monitoring: Grid’s GIS features combined advanced dashboard & reporting allowed the creation of color-coded maps that updated in real-time.
• Material Management: Custom sheets were built on Grid to streamline procurement from order placed to delivery. The solution also highlighted the status of inventory, like stock ageing, levels, vendor code, item code, etc. 
• Hindrance Tracking: Managers tracked and reported on-site hindrances (inventory stockouts or compliance) with a workflow tracker built on Grid.

Grid’s Impact 

• Real-time decision making based on up-to-date dashboard data
• End-to-end project visibility for stakeholders and accurate project tracking 
• Faster setting up of custom workflows — courtesy of Grid’s no-code architecture
• Unified platform for centralized procurement and material management, minimizing instances of stockouts and excess 
• One-click map-based project view across regions
