Industrial Operations Proof
Results From Maintenance, Construction and Field Workflows
See the operational problem, what we built and the result. Each example connects to the relevant service pathway when you're ready to assess a similar workflow.
Asset Maintenance
Industrial Operations - Maintenance AI & Inspection OCR Implementation
95.5% inspection processing accuracy
Following a merger, this organisation faced significant operational integration challenges. Maintenance coordinators were spending 71-97 hours monthly processing work orders, with only 23-29% of that time on value-added activity. Processing delays of up to 2 months at some sites were creating safety and compliance exposure. And 30-40% of follow-on work orders were duplicates, cluttering the maintenance management system.
Field Services
Field Services - Voice AI Job Capture & Administrative Transformation
$80,000 in annual revenue leakage identified
This landscaping and environmental services company was trapped in a "zombie middle ground" between paper and digital processes, with neither functioning effectively. Managers were spending ~80% of their capacity on data entry and paperwork rather than field leadership. Only half of job sheets were properly submitted, and materials weren't always being applied at correct rates - staff relied on "tank estimates" rather than precise data.
Construction and Field Operations
Bridge It NZ - SOP Automation & Voice Data Capture
80% faster field data processing and handoff
Bridge It NZ is New Zealand's leading specialist in design-and-build precast concrete bridges. Critical knowledge and data for complex processes - from geotechnical assessment to on-site installation - was locked in the minds of key, experienced personnel, creating significant business continuity risk.
Trade Services
Sales, Quoting & Project Planning AI
Six high-value workflow opportunities prioritised
Growing trade services businesses often hit a scaling wall: the sales and quoting process depends on experienced individuals who carry pricing knowledge and project scoping expertise while the supporting data and client history sit across different systems. Quotes were being prepared manually from spreadsheets and catalogues, limiting the volume the business could handle. Field observations were captured as handwritten notes requiring manual transcription. And quote quality varied significantly depending on who prepared it.
