Case Studies: BECK Developments Inc
Back to case studies.
See how BECK takes advantage of a customized web-based FTP solution for their
clients:
The Company
BECK Developments is a commercial developer in Edmonton, comprised of experienced and complementarily skilled professionals.
The Challenge
One of the many challenges in the construction industry is the sharing and distribution of time-critical information, including photos, drawings and project specs. BECK identified a challenge in communicating with trades and vendors in a timely fashion using the traditional methods of email, CD/DVD, and FTP. Sharing files via email had it's file-size restrictions, CD/DVD burning and delivery was too time-consuming, and FTP only did the trick when a computer-savvy user was on the receiving end.
The Solution
CreoLogic and BECK worked together to create a web-based File Transfer utility, where we eliminated the challenges and barriers preventing BECK and it's customers from sharing information more efficiently.
The Result
This online File Transfer utility contains features that make file sharing between BECK and their customers a breeze. Special consideration was given to navigation, user-friendliness and ease-of-access, ensuring the ability for BECK and it's customers/vendors to share files and project information quicker than ever. Some features include:
- One central, online location for information storage
- Password-protected access to files
- Online archiving of project files, documents, and photos
- Ability for BECK to upload files (XLS, PDF, PPT, photos and videos) for vendors/clients
- Ability for BECK to categorize files into dockets and tag files for easy search/indexing
- Auto-email of links to files, retrievable online
- Mobile-friendly interface to access files on the road or on site
- Administrative monitoring tools to track uploads/downloads of project files
"CreoLogic understood our challenges and worked directly with our team to
provide a custom-built solution that met our precise needs. CreoLogic was
able to communicate the technical aspects of this project in plain-English,
something not always easy to do in the technical field. Since the
development of this utility we have hired CreoLogic to expand on it's
functionality and it's proven to be an essential tool for our business."
