The Challenge
Track progress across multiple jobsites
With 40 projects going at one time and a limited number of managers to oversee the cross-country work. The company needed a method that tracked the project’s progress and identified areas for improvement when managers couldn’t be on site.
The Solution
On-demand jobsite access from anywhere
The cameras gave project managers an easy way to stay informed at all times with technology that communicated with all their devices: computers, smartphones, and tablets. Anywhere in the world, they could update themselves on their projects’ statuses. The job site cameras also allowed project managers to quickly address and potentially prevent unforeseen expenses.
The Implementation
Saving thousands with photo documentation
By using the images as reference materials, Cumberland Farms site managers determined if the job site needed extra materials or the schedule needed to change. As a result, the company reduced the overall cost of their projects. With photo documentation, change orders amounted to around $100,000 a project. This was a significant decrease from previous projects where unexpected expenses could cost a project between $200,000 and $300,000.
