Enhancing efficiency in engineering: Implementing a modern data solution

Services

Software development

In the fast-evolving industry of engineering, firms increasingly seek to leverage technology to streamline processes and reduce dependency on outdated systems. 
The integration of advanced data solutions has become a cornerstone for enhancing operational efficiency and innovation. 
 
We were approached by an engineering company whose internal systems were causing efficiency headaches.

Challenge

The client needed a solution to solve their outdated workflow processes which limited functionality, reporting and efficiency.

Solution

Green Leaf delivered a modern website, built using cutting-edge technologies including .NET Core, Angular and Azure, alongside a cloud-enabled web-based solution and Power BI reporting dashboards.

Impact

The solution greatly reduced manual entry issues and the time required to produce metrics while streamlining resource allocation workflow.

The Challenge

The client was in dire need of a real-time workforce allocation application to optimize their project management and operational efficiency.  
 
Their reliance on Excel for managing such critical aspects of their business had become a significant limitation, restricting functionality and making collaborative efforts across teams difficult. They needed a solution that was straightforward yet powerful, allowing multiple users to interact with it simultaneously without bottlenecks.  
 
Additionally, it was imperative for the application to seamlessly integrate source ERP data with user inputs to facilitate accurate and dynamic resource allocation.  
 
The absence of effective reporting on workforce allocations further elevated their challenges, leaving a critical gap in their operational insights.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Green Leaf delivered a state-of-the-art web solution, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies to transform the client’s resource management practices.  
 
Our solution provided a unified platform for coordination across the enterprise, significantly enhancing the efficiency of resource allocation and project management. By leveraging a cloud-enabled, web-based solution built on .NET Core with an Angular front end, hosted on Azure technologies, we ensured scalability, security, and performance.  
 
We complemented this digital transformation with the delivery of comprehensive Power BI reports and dashboards. These tools provided deep insights and analytics, enabling informed decision-making and strategic planning. 

The Impact

The implementation of our solution had a profound impact on the client’s business operations.  
 
It dramatically reduced the issues associated with manual data entry, decreased the time required to produce critical metrics, and eliminated the need for customizations within the ERP system.  
 
Management and executives gained a real-time view into enterprise performance, enhancing their ability to make swift, data-driven decisions. The streamlined resource allocation workflow eliminated the need for Excel as a management tool, ushering in a new era of efficiency and collaboration.  
 
The introduction of auditing and logging features has fostered a culture of transparency and accountability within the organization, significantly contributing to its overall success and sustainability.
