As the name behind numerous flagship residential, commercial and government buildings, the brand’s mission lies in innovation and sustainability. ![Bouygues](https://www.palo-it.com/hubfs/PaloIt_August2020/images/76ee05567db5c5a1bd2b9a71331bb548953fa90c_context-copy-min.png) ### Challenge The risk of wasting resources is ever-present in the business of large-scale construction projects. To better meet its goals, Bouygues wanted to build a tool to monitor material consumption throughout the construction life cycle, and cut down waste in the work they were doing, *all in real-time*. ![BOUYGUES THAILAND](https://www.palo-it.com/hubfs/PaloIt_August2020/images/74dfa3993e16fdc4c79e1cfc51121bff4769cf54_challenge-copy-min.png) ### Outcomes - Using an Agile/Lean development approach, PALO IT created a **waste management system app** that houses a full store catalog; enables digital check-ins, check-outs and returns of items; and creates thorough reports based on these activities. - The mobile platform offers a comprehensive look at the ebb and flow of current projects, and also will facilitate more accurate estimation during pre-construction tender phases, more precise bidding processes, and more well-informed approaches to future projects. - The app also works as an educational tool for Bouygues, sensitising the team to gaps in quality, and alerting them of potential for improvement. Ultimately, the end-to-end visibility the app provides promotes a company culture of **wasting less** and **caring more**. ![PALO IT](https://www.palo-it.com/hubfs/PaloIt_August2020/images/434487c01ffa77f0e5f5bce7a417bb3685e88454_outcomes-copy-min.png) [![CONTACT US](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7666765/e6a417ba-5958-474c-98ff-07da4eeaff8a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7666765/e6a417ba-5958-474c-98ff-07da4eeaff8a) “Partnering with Bouygues on this project was a ‘win-win-win’—PALO IT laid down roots in the construction sector, Bouygues bettered their business practices, and the world prospered from less unnecessary waste.” [![FRÉDÉRIC BERNAROYAT](https://www.palo-it.com/hubfs/PaloIt_August2020/images/913d71a717bd342b20899b8856d3c1899775c700_frederic-bernaroyat.png) ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fredericbernaroyat/) FRÉDÉRIC BERNAROYAT MANAGING DIRECTOR PARTNER WITH PALO IT [Follow linkFollow link ](https://www.palo-it.com/en/case-study/crowdsourcing-and-investment-strategy-join-forces) 1859 CLOUD | FRANCE ## Crowdsourcing and investment strategy join forces Button / CloseCreated with Sketch. ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=6015209&fmt=gif)
