Introduction
At Edmondsons IT, we pride ourselves on creating tailored solutions that address the specific challenges of our clients. One of our recent collaborations was with Aspect Building Solutions, a highly respected and award-winning company based in Yorkshire. Aspect Building Solutions specialises in project management and material procurement across a wide array of sectors, including Education, Commercial, Residential, and Healthcare. Known for their client-focused and flexible approach, they consistently deliver high-quality results regardless of the size or complexity of a project.
However, even a company as experienced as Aspect Building Solutions isn’t immune to challenges. Their success across diverse sectors comes with the complexities of managing numerous projects simultaneously. As their operations expanded, they encountered a range of issues that were beginning to affect their efficiency and project timelines. Recognising the need for improvement, Aspect Building Solutions approached us to help streamline their processes and regain control over their project management workflows.
Challenge
When we began working with Aspect Building Solutions, it became clear that their biggest challenge stemmed from the lack of a centralised system for managing key aspects of their operations. Tracking material requests, supplier quotations, and purchase orders was a fragmented process that relied on outdated methods. Without readily accessible information on project status and requirements, their teams often found themselves struggling to make informed decisions promptly.
This inefficiency was more than just a frustration—it was creating tangible setbacks that impacted the company’s ability to deliver projects on time and to the high standards their clients expected. Key stakeholders often lacked the data they needed to anticipate potential delays or make proactive adjustments, while team members were left out of the loop due to poor communication. It was clear that if we were to help Aspect Building Solutions maintain their competitive edge, we needed to create a solution that addressed these issues head-on.
Solution
To tackle these challenges, we designed a custom web interface tailored specifically to the needs of Aspect Building Solutions. Our goal was to create a system that would simplify and centralise their project management processes, making it easier for everyone involved to stay informed and on track.
The platform we developed acts as a central hub for managing material requests and purchase orders, providing a transparent and efficient workflow for users at all levels of the organisation. Accessibility was a key priority for us. We ensured that the platform could be used seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices, allowing team members to access the information they needed whether they were in the office or on-site. This cross-platform functionality has been instrumental in helping Aspect Building Solutions maintain flexibility in their operations.
Real-time updates and notifications are another core feature of the solution. By keeping everyone informed of significant developments, such as the issuance of a purchase order or changes in delivery schedules, the platform fosters better communication and reduces the risk of misunderstandings. Additionally, the interface is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, ensuring that team members can easily navigate the system without the need for extensive training.
One of the standout features of the solution is its self-learning capability. The platform continually collects and analyses data on materials, pricing, and supplier performance. Over time, this system becomes more efficient, offering valuable insights that help the company make smarter procurement decisions.
