A new digital standard for work scheduling and task management

Developing a flexible digital works management platform for multiple industries

IDS x eviFile

The requirement

The founders of eviFile sought IDS-Group to develop a digital works management platform that could collect, schedule, and manage field-based data across various industries. The platform would is accessible on multiple devices and offers secure data management, while addressing the challenges of paper trails and digital file authenticity. By providing absolute data proof (a single truth), it reduces friction, disputes, and costs.

The project at-a-glance

  • IDS technology accelerator success story
  • SaaS-based digital evidence platform / progressive assurance software
  • Connects project design, planning, scheduling, delivery and close-down, in one central, cloud-based data platform
  • Integrates key project management tools including Oracle’s Primavera P3, 3D REPO and PowerProject
  • Enables any programme of works to be configured in seconds
  • Industry standard PowerBI reporting outputs and enterprise connections with Common Data Environments

The solution

Using a sophisticated tech stack – designed with usability, security and scalability in mind – we built out the product from concept to a fully-functioning digital evidence platform, which quickly caught the attention of some of the construction sector’s biggest names.

Completely configurable, the platform can be rapidly customised and deployed to meet exact programme requirements. Used to manage field assets, track inspection routes and provide proof of remotely conducted events, the digital evidence platform delivers unquestionable authenticity, visibility, flexibility and compliance.

As requested, the platform is accessible on smartphones, tablets and desktop devices, with offline mode available for operators with poor connectivity in the field. The secure management of data is assured from end-to-end, and a multitenant architecture allows several clients to work on the same solution.

The results

Increased efficiency
Enables any programme of works to be configured in seconds
60%
More effective in post-construction incident management
100k
Paper documents replaced with secure digital twin evidence
Cross functional
Designer, construction manager, surveyor and end client

We’re very driven to improve the visibility of the health of our projects and believe eviFile is the tool to do it. We now have a much more efficient, accurate and secure way of reporting on the progress of construction against our delivery schedule and on key issues like environment, quality, and health and safety.
