REAL-TIME PMP

Perfection required — A mission critical solution for project management

Business Problem

Westinghouse deploys a wide network of field engineers for quality control. These field engineers have to monitor electricity supply and demand, inspect equipment, make repairs, etc. But, there was no way to interface with the engineers while they were actually in the field. Assignments were doled out before they went into the field and priorities could not be changed except by phone.

Engagement

Copper Digital embedded within Westinghouse in order to learn their core processes and pain points by spending time with their field engineers and operations team, we didn’t build an app — we delivered a custom mobility solution with functionalities solving each party’s problems. We developed a push notification engine to ensure updates are sent to the field engineers any time there is an update on a project with which they are involved.

Copper Digital developed an analytics engine to analyze and display the most important metrics on the project management dashboard. A custom data search engine was developed to allow supervisors to search through all available data and records. Advanced graphical reports allow users to perform causal analyses in cases of slippage. The solution enabled easy data migration with import and export capability. The solution also replaced paper-based processes, helping Westinghouse further save money as well as making its business more sustainable.

Tech Stack

Result

By undergoing a rigorous quality assurance phase directly in conjunction with Westinghouse field engineers, we were able to deliver a solution that was not only imminently useful and effective, but safe and reliable as well.
