| Softucraft has completed a diversity of projects for various industries.
This is a brief overview of just a few:
|
Client Type:
|
Fortune 500 Oil Pipeline Company.
|
|
Project Type:
|
Workflow Management, Business Intelligence, Integration
|
|
Program:
|
Client was tracking all pipeline data in a group of spreadsheets. The client’s
existing system was lacking data security, validity and tracking tools as well
as requiring a great deal of manual maintenance. The client had a proprietary
method for reporting on various components of the data. The client’s main
concern against a new system was integration of existing data and the need to
re-train all personnel and staff on new ways for process methodologies.
|
|
Solution:
|
Softucraft implemented a pipeline tracking solution that migrated all the
spreadsheet data into a central database. Security issues were resolved by
providing full update access to a small group of staff members while the other
users had read-only access only to certain areas of the solution that pertains
to their positions in the company. The solution also provided newly added
features such as automated data updates and tracking, value-added reports and
enhanced user interface.
|
|
Results:
|
Since solution implementation, all the security issues were resolved. Data
updates and maintenance were simplified and automated a great deal by the
ability to make the updates in a single central database instead of making
identical updates in several spreadsheets. The new solution showed process and
productivity improvements of 40% in 90 days. User training was minimal since
most of existing proprietary methodologies were integrated into the new system.
The client is preparing this solution for a nation-wide deployment.

Program:

Client just launched a maintenance department to handle maintenance service
calls for their customers. As a fresh start, client had a paper system for
tracking their service calls and was dispatching all technicians manually. The
paper system was slow, required many dispatch operators and lacked tracking
tools.
|
|
Solution:
|
Softucraft implemented a database solution for service call tracking and
dispatching. The solution automated most of the data entry and dispatch
processes on new service calls while tracking historic data for prior service
calls. The solution provided periodic reports on service call status such as a
daily reminder for all pending calls from previous days that needs follow-up. A
periodic email report emailed to key company personnel for the status of the
maintenance department as well as many additional proprietary tools. The
solution also provided automated tools to provide certain customers with an
electronic list on maintenance calls performed on customer's sites.
|
|
Results:
|
The results were phenomenal. Response time and process efficiency improved by
over 100%. The Solution has automated various aspects of service call handling.

Client has a drafting department with a group of contractor draftsmen who were
providing services on company projects. The draftsmen were billing the company
for their services via periodic invoices. There was no set process for the
draftsmen to follow in order to track the time spent on various projects. The
client needed a billing system to issue the invoices for the draftsmen as well
as being capable of tracking the progress of projects and provide job-cost
analysis. The client also needed an automated way for other company employees
to submit drafting requests to the drafting department.
|
|
Solution:
|
Softucraft implemented a solution that incorporates an electronic time card
that will allow the draftsmen to record time spent on various tasks on various
projects. Also use that same time card data to issue invoices on the behalf of
the draftsmen to the company. The solution also provided progress reports for
pending projects. The solution incorporated an online submittal system that
allows company employees to electronically submit drafting requests to the
drafting department as well as being able to check the progress of existing or
previously submitted projects.
|
|
Results:
|
The drafting department enjoyed a process and efficiency improvements of over
40%. The company is now able to view job-costing and progress reports for
pending and new projects.

Program:

Client was developing a GIS-Enabled intranet website and needed that website to
use tens of thousands of graphic files that are scattered on company network
drives. Client needed to create an index database of the needed graphics files
containing the full path, file name and other relevant information and was
about to manually populate the index.
|
|
Solution:
|
Softucraft implemented an automation solution that will periodically and
automatically scan through the network drives and populate the database with
new files that met the website criteria. The solution will also validate files
previously indexed and ensures their existence as specified in the index as
well as eliminating any duplicate entries.
|
|
Results:
|
The solution saved the client thousands of dollars and weeks of man-hours in
data entry and validation if it was to create the index as originally planned.
And most importantly, the index was complete and ready in matter of hours
instead of months.
