Omexom in the UK&RoI is the VINCI Energies brand dedicated to the Generation, Transmission, and Distribution of electricity as well as the design, build and commissioning of Substations.
The company now has 21 diverse business units that provide engineering, construction and maintenance services to a growing portfolio of clients which includes SSE and National Grid.
Omexom has a rich history of using Causeway's software solutions - including for e-Invoicing, commercial management and document management. In this case study, hear from Steve Mosley, Head of Communications at Omexom, on why the business has extended its relationship with Causeway by selecting CausewayOne Digital Tools to digitise its site-based data processing.
The Challenge
In 2023, Omexom recognised that as part of its next period of growth that there was a growing need to better equip its mobile workforce and digitise the capture of site-based data.
Due to the nature of Omexom's work its workforce is mobile, and prior to implementing CausewayOne Digital Tools the collection of crucial site-based data such as site diaries, toolbox talks and safety inspections in the right format, and a timely manner, often proved difficult.
Its process was largely paper-based, resulting in disconnected systems and a lack of visibility.
"Our workforce is very mobile and one of the challenges we have always faced is how can we better digitise and capture data from our sites. We knew that we needed to modernise that process through the introduction of new technology."
Steve Mosley, Head of Communications, Omexom
The Solution
Omexom wanted a solution to create, capture and maintain site-based records in a digital format, providing real-time visibility through integrating with its existing IT infrastructure.
Following an extensive evaluation process of mobile workforce management solutions, Omexom opted to implement CausewayOne Digital Tools across all of its business units. A simple form builder and a user friendly field interface were key factors in the decision to purchase.
"As soon as the Causeway team presented the solution, I knew straight away that this was the right one for us at Omexom. This was backed-up by the user testing that we completed; we had excellent feedback from the field, who found Causeway Ermeo to be far more user friendly than alternatives and were delighted with the functionality."
Steve Mosley, Head of Communications, Omexom
CausewayOne Digital Tools is a suite of applications that are designed to drive productivity, efficiency, and create a single-source-of-truth intelligence at all stages of the construction and maintenance lifecycle. It allows teams to easily create complex or basic forms which can be completed in the field via a laptop, smart phone or tablet.
The solution is designed to streamline data capture, automate form completion and enhance record management, particularly around quality assurance and construction site safety.
The Outcome
While Omexom has taken a phased approach to the roll out of CausewayOne Digital Tools across its 21 business units, it has already seen significant benefits.
The primary driver for the implementation of CausewayOne Digital Tools was to better capture and maintain digital records from site. And in just 12 months, Omexom have already created over 50 unique form templates and submitted over 1,000 completed forms in the field. Each completed form has its own digital record which is stored and accessibly via the cloud.
Short list of form types created by Omexom:
- Site diaries
- Plant registers
- Positive interventions
- Toolbox talks
- Safety inspections
- Non-conformance reporting
- Incident reporting
- Tower checks
The implementation has significantly reduced admin time, whilst also enhancing visibility through the ability to view and analyse data from the field in real-time, in one central location.
"Since implementing Causeway we have been able to create hundreds of digital forms to capture and collect more site-based data. It's given our business units a quick and easy way to collect data in the field, whilst also providing management teams with access to valuable live data."
Steve Mosley, Head of Communications, Omexom
"Adoption in the field has been great and I have no hesitation in recommending Causeway to any other organisation."
Steve Mosley, Head of Communications, Omexom
Implementing CausewayOne Digital Tools has also removed the need for many paper-based records, supporting Omexom's ambitious sustainability goals.
Looking ahead, Omexom plan to continue the roll out of CausewayOne Digital Tools across its remaining business units. By maintaining their commitment to quality and efficiency, Omexom is set to continue its trajectory of continued business growth and success.
The scalability of CausewayOne Digital Tools will be key during this next phase as more business units are included and Omexom's workforce continues to increase.
