Agile, accurate yet flexible mobile solution to speed up reporting
Helping Vinci Facilities develop less labour-intensive data collection process to maintain high quality customer service.
VINCI's problem
VINCI Facilities asset management deliver services to both internal and external customers who are increasingly demanding faster more accurate asset information to support mobilisations and capital expenditure programs. Existing VINCI processes delivered high quality data but had become very labour-intensive to maintain the quality and level of service its customers expected.
Projects used traditional methods of spreadsheets, paper and photographic evidence using a smartphone. The data would then need to be consolidated, quality assured and client reports produced. This was a very time and labour-intensive process for skilled VINCI people and was extremely difficult to get consistent, reliable data from suppliers to support our systems.
We needed a mobile solution that was agile, accurate, flexible yet consistent, that would save time on-site and speed up output reporting, whilst maintaining accuracy, quality and supporting our long-term business aims & legacy systems, keeping VINCI Facilities relevant and at the forefront of our competitive market.

The solution: how VINCI's asset management transformed with Mobiess
The Mobiess asset data collection platform was chosen in late 2016 to support VINCI Facilities' growth, and drive efficiency within its asset management services.
With over 125,000 assets being processed in the first 2 quarters of use, the solution has provided the scalable platform that VINCI Facilities required to support its customers' demands.
By delivering a Platform that utilises modern technology and true Software as a Service (SAAS) principles VINCI Facilities can scale its services to meet the mobilisation demands of its customer without having to concern themselves with infrastructure and mobile device selection.
The result: benefits achieved by VINCI while using Mobiess
Asset surveys for clients and internal projects can often run to tens of thousands of individual assets and 100's of thousands of smaller grouped asset items, with data consolidation and reporting taking weeks of office-based effort to consolidate and prepare client reports.
The key benefit of Mobiess' asset data capture and lifecycle management software has been the huge reduction in time to produce the VINCI branded, client focussed reports. A typical project for 12,000 square metres has seen a reduction of approximately 50% of the time to deliver a project.
The Quality Assurance portal provides efficiency of on-site works by both internal staff and supply chain partners and provides further evidence on data collection patterns to assist the efficiency gains required to maintain competitiveness. The application platform supports all the main mobile platforms allowing VINCI to capitalise and consume the most cost effective devices on the market.
The Mobiess Platform fully supports the VINCI approach to Asset stewardship and allows us to deliver a consistent approach to data collection and asset reporting. By operating a true Software As A Service model we are able to scale our delivery to meet the demands of the business and our clients without incurring unnecessary cost.
