Material Wait Times Cut in Half
to Save $75 Million with Jovix
®
Introduction
The client used Jovix
®
on two projects in Alberta, Canada. One is a
sustainment project on operation facilities, consisting of a wastewater
treatment plant and a booster pump house.
Jobsite Challenges
• Crews were 5% less productive due to waiting on materials
• Contractor claims on late material were estimated to cost the
project $10 million
• No way to create material withdrawal requests (MWRs) and
pick lists across multiple commodities
• Material status updates had to be tracked across multiple
documents, increasing the likelihood of error
How Was Jovix Used?
• Warehoused materials always visible by using active RFID tags
and gate readers
• Tablets were used to locate materials in up to 4 feet of snow
• Multiple materials could be added to a single MWR and pick list,
reducing transaction time
• Eliminated the need for multiple documents and reduced errors
