Success Story: Integral Ingenieros + OfficeTrack
How Integral Ingenieros, an international engineering and project supervision firm, digitized field data capture and automated its reporting with OfficeTrack to deliver reliable information to its clients the same day.
Background
Integral Ingenieros is an international engineering and project supervision company that develops civil infrastructure projects at every stage: design, execution and construction oversight. It operates from offices in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, the United States, India and Pakistan, on projects involving roads, buildings, industrial plants and hydroelectric power generation. As part of its innovation strategy, the company set out to modernize how it captured, managed and analyzed the information generated every day in the field, especially in supervision projects that demand high levels of control, quality and traceability.
Key Challenges
- Replace progress tracking in paper notebooks and manual forms, with photos taken separately on cameras or mobile phones.
- Eliminate the need to bring information back to the office to compile reports, a slow, manual and error-prone process.
- Find a tool that worked under real field conditions, including areas with no connectivity, after testing other solutions that didn’t fit.
- Overcome cultural resistance to change and meet high standards of data security, traceability and reliability.
Solution Implemented with OfficeTrack
1. Pilot project in Manizales with offline capture
Adoption began with a pilot in Manizales, Colombia, led by a small group of users working in parallel with traditional methods. Direct tests were run in remote areas with no connectivity to evaluate offline capture, data organization and the platform’s versatility.
Impact: every hypothesis was validated; information was captured correctly and no data was lost.
2. Digital forms and automated reporting
Supervision teams replaced paper notebooks and forms with digital forms in OfficeTrack, from which reports are generated automatically.
Impact: supervisors recovered about 50% of the time they spent preparing daily reports.
3. Scaling to a power generation project
Based on the pilot’s results, management approved a rollout on a larger power generation project. The company plans to add users and incorporate control, dashboard, workflow and administrative modules.
Impact: a structured data foundation to move toward analytics and data-driven management.
4. Ongoing support and training
Throughout the process, Integral received ongoing technical support from the OfficeTrack team, recurring training sessions adapted to team turnover and fluid communication.
Impact: faster adoption of the tool by field teams.
