Client Context

Construction contractor managing 4–6 concurrent projects with approximately 35–50 subcontractors.

Operational Problem

  • Subcontractor scheduling and updates were managed through phone calls and WhatsApp groups without structured tracking.

Operational Workflow

Before Deployment

  • Manual intake
  • Spreadsheet tracking
  • Delayed operational response
  • Fragmented visibility

After Deployment

  • Structured intake engine
  • Automated prioritisation
  • System-driven routing
  • Operational visibility dashboard

Deployment Timeline

Pilot

Initial deployment on scoped process.

Measurement

Tracking against baseline.

Scale

Full production rollout.

Operational Impact

Delay identification lead time
Earlier intervention
Reactive
1–2 days before delay
Supervisor coordination time
Recovered site supervision capacity
~3.5 hrs/day
~1.2 hrs/day
Invoice verification cycle
Faster subcontractor payment
8–12 days
4–6 days

Metrics measured during the first full quarter post-deployment against a four-week pre-deployment baseline.

Scope Limitations

38% of subcontractors continued informal communication channels.

Business Impact

Supervisors gained time for quality inspection and project oversight.

What Stayed Human

  • Subcontractor selection
  • Dispute resolution

What We Learned

Morning coordination requests significantly increased subcontractor response rates.
