The future of construction in a digitizing world
The world is changing rapidly. This is also the case in the construction industry and every effort is being made not to be left behind. The Netherlands has set considerable social goals when it comes to the climate agreement and energy transition. In addition, the need for housing is enormous but the supply of well-qualified personnel is low. In short, all these issues call for innovative developments. Digitalization and automation are therefore becoming increasingly important to remain successful.
Being able to change and improve quickly
In 2017, The Economist magazine signaled that the world's most valuable resource is no longer oil but data. (Economist 2017) With the increasing digitization of all kinds of processes in society, a huge amount of digitized data is consciously or unconsciously being created. (Big data) Companies are increasingly busy analyzing this mountain of data in order to recognize patterns faster and sharpen business models and processes in order to increase revenue and efficiency (profit).
In addition to digitizing for efficiency in data analysis, there is also automation going on within this digitization. How do you make sure that automation keeps you on track and that you can easily share your information more widely and have it carried within your organization. This is another area where much has been developed in recent years.
Opportunities for construction companies anno 2023
Most companies have their primary process just fine. After all, this is the basis on which the company once started and to which it owes its right to exist. However, with the success of the company and the associated growth, more time and attention was required for the secondary processes in addition to the primary process. Think of:
- Issuing of work equipment and its intake
- Work equipment inspection
- Certificates of employees and resources
- Laws and regulations that are changing
- Environmental aspects registry
- Various consultation structures and actions and decisions arising from them
- Reporting Incidents
- RI&E
- Various deliver or test protocols belonging to the various products and services
- Certifications and standards requested by customers
- Etc. etc.
How nice then that both this documentation and registration can easily be digitized in one central place. Without programmers but by the company itself in a way that grows with the organization.
This makes it possible for everyone in the organization to have this info and associated registrations readily available. If necessary, you can then quickly perform that registration on your mobile phone. So a report for improvement proposal or an incident but also a workplace inspection or inspection of resources becomes incredibly simple and efficient. No more searching for procedures or processes. Everything at your fingertips. And from now on, with just a few clicks, you will also receive automatic notifications of tasks that are there for you to do.
Today it is quite possible to gather and manage these kinds of information and registration flows on one platform. The great thing about this is that the data you generate together also allows for easy real-time analysis. Of course, you can then visualize this in nice graphs so that you can easily make trend analyses, for example.
In short, colleagues who no longer have to search for descriptions of processes, documents or registration forms but have this easily at hand at all times. Getting your tasks done on time because notifications are coming in. And of course there is nothing nicer for management than being able to see and monitor where things are going well, how accidents are prevented and where improvements and failure cost savings can be achieved.
