The Challenge
Before engaging GridForce, W***** Company faced several operational challenges, particularly around data visibility and tracking efficiency.
- They lacked a centralized database, making it difficult for the team to access real-time project information, track work orders, and coordinate efforts across multiple shifts.
- The company struggled with scattered documents, missing data, and disorganized workflows, which led to frustration among their teams.
- Additionally, there were inefficiencies in scheduling, work order management, and ensuring all relevant project information was available when needed.
The company needed a more advanced and integrated solution to better track work orders, improve scheduling, and provide deeper insights into project data for better decision-making.
