OxBlue cameras provide an easy way to monitor the jobsite on any device

The Challenge

Long hours, small team and exponential growth

As a growing business, Carvana's team was stretched thin through rapid expansion. They needed visibility to monitor progress and ensure milestones were met. Each project required at least 12 overnight stays and 10 visits to get as much detail as possible.

After just two projects, it became quickly apparent that Carvana needed a better way to conduct oversights and document progress.

Construction cameras monitored Carvana from a distance

The Solution

On demand jobsite access on any device

By introducing OxBlue’s Cobalt Series professional jobsite camera, Carvana's team can now remotely monitor construction work — minimizing the team’s long hours on-site and cutting travel costs. Using jobsite cameras and OxBlue’s seamless mobile app, slideshow tools and intuitive software interface for easy sharing, Carvana can monitor progress and identity problems regardless of the angle or hour.

 

  • “The team is able to make better judgment calls around onsite work and essential travel. They can also effectively monitor construction progress remotely without missing a beat.”

    Bret Sassenberg, Senior Director of Real Estate and Development, Carvana

  • “OxBlue cameras will continue to be a part of our projects, we’re hooked.”

    Bret Sassenberg, Carvana

  • "OxBlue really helps us alleviate work-life balance pressures on our employees. We can now look at our projects every day to monitor where contractors are with work."

The Implementation

Multiple views for detailed insight

The company added Indigo Series interior cameras and used OxBlue’s high-quality Cobalt systems to view the site’s layout at a high and granular level. 16MP cameras were set from a distance for a full view of the project, whereas 8MP cameras were implemented to document details close to the construction site.

 

The Results

Improved work-life balance and reduced costs

OxBlue’s cameras improved employee’s work-life balance by cutting excess time on-site and additional travel costs. But Carvana also found that OxBlue was an easy way to communicate progress and boost morale. 

With detailed visibility, the team was able to anticipate weather delays, defend credits with subcontractors and specialty trades, and pivot at the start of the pandemic. OxBlue’s mobile application meant they could keep eyes on their jobsites regardless of the location, avoiding the difficulty of travel bans and health concerns.
