Case study

Eurovia Surfacing cuts daily reporting time by more than half

  • Construction
  • Formulate

Overview

A road surfacing contractor replaced paper daily reports with mobile records, cutting the time spent on daily reporting by more than half.

Eurovia Surfacing delivers road surfacing and infrastructure projects across multiple sites, with a large mobile workforce. Daily reporting, attendance and allocating people across projects took a lot of administration, and the company wanted more accurate reporting, better use of its crews and records that supported its safety and operational standards.

Originally delivered on Triangle's Reach platform. The same capability is now part of Formulate.

The challenge

  • Daily reports were on paper, slow to complete and easy to get wrong
  • Managers struggled to see who was on site and which tasks were complete
  • Senior managers had no up-to-date view of workforce performance or project progress

What we did

  • Digital daily reports, completed on a phone and visible in the office straight away
  • Attendance, task completion and staff location recorded across every site
  • Reporting that shows managers workforce efficiency, compliance and how people are allocated

The results

  • Time spent on daily reporting cut by more than 50%
  • Fewer reporting errors and more reliable data
  • Managers allocate staff more effectively, so more gets done on site
  • Senior managers see workforce and project data as it happens, so decisions come sooner

Implementing Triangle's Workforce Management System for our daily reporting has transformed how we manage our workforce. The system is intuitive, saves us significant time, and gives us the insights we need to keep projects on track.

Notes from the field

Should field service businesses be afraid of AI?

Everyone seems to have an opinion on artificial intelligence, and most of the loudest ones are worrying. For landscaping and highways businesses, the more useful question is not whether AI will arrive, but who you trust to help you use it well.

Winter is starting earlier. Is your winter services operation ready?

The businesses that get caught out by winter usually aren’t the ones without a plan, they’re the ones whose plan was built for the winter that used to happen rather than the one that’s actually coming, and that gap tends to open up faster than most people expect.

Health and safety compliance in the field

When did you last ask yourself how confident you really are that every safety check your field teams ran last week actually happened? For most businesses managing mobile workforces, that question lands uncomfortably.
