AVOIDING REWORK IN CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
FAST TO "FILE," FASTER TO FIND
Every construction professional has spent hours searching for a specific version of a key document – sometimes in vain. Document controllers work diligently to make it easier for team members to find what’s needed – that’s the purpose of their ongoing efforts to responsibility to tag and organize project documents. However, attention to detail and the manual nature of the traditional approach to uploading, tagging, and distributing documents comes at a cost – their valuable time.
A robust document control system frees users to focus their efforts on higher-value responsibilities that help move projects forward.
Automation offers an alternative. A robust document control system provides an avenue for offloading those repetitive tasks and freeing users to focus their efforts on higher-value responsibilities that help move projects forward. By automating document tagging, teams can:
- Improve document recall.
- Reduce the odds of referencing an outdated drawing or other document.
- Efficiently scale operations to accommodate a high volume of materials.
- Reallocate the hundreds of hours of staff time required to tag and digitally file the thousands of assets under a capital project.
With automated tagging, document controllers create a list of key terms associated with their project, and the solution will automatically tag and sort in-coming documents according to those terms. As the project progresses, users can filter or search according to the terms they naturally use to find the exact document they need in a matter of seconds. Together, seamless search and easy retrieval makes for faster workflows and improved accuracy.
