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.

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.
