Lineside Assets Survey Team
Multiple disconnected systems tracked the same lineside assets under different IDs. Every survey meant hours of manual cross-referencing and reconciliation.
Client name anonymised. Figures are from the engagement, rounded for readability.

The problem, in detail.
Pain points uncovered during discovery. Each one costs real time and money.
Which System is Right?
Staff spending 3+ hours daily trying to match assets across SAP, GIS, and internal spreadsheets.
Location Confusion
Assets recorded in different formats (ELR, grid ref, mileage) causing survey teams to visit wrong locations.
Scattered Photos
Thousands of asset photos in folders with inconsistent naming, making evidence retrieval nearly impossible.

Multiple copies of the "master" tracker, each with different updates, causing data conflicts.
