BGC Engineering's Efficiency Boost with Nintex Platform

Nintex

Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Middleware, SDKs & Libraries Robots - Wheeled Robots
Applicable Industries	Mining Telecommunications
Use Cases	Process Control & Optimization Time Sensitive Networking
Services	Hardware Design & Engineering Services
Challenge	BGC Engineering, a Canadian applied earth sciences company, was facing challenges with its traditional data collection model. The company, which provides consulting services to various industries, had to manually collect data at many of its remote project sites due to lack of connectivity. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to transcription errors and missing data. The company's standard laptops were not durable enough for job site use, and while Toughbooks were used when electronic devices were needed, they were not an optimal solution. BGC needed a solution that would improve data collection efficiency, reduce the need for multiple site visits, and optimize its field information capture and customer reporting processes. Read More
About Customer	BGC Engineering Inc. is a professional services firm based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The company specializes in applied earth sciences, providing consulting services to the mining, oil and gas, and transportation industries, among others. BGC operates from 11 offices across North and South America, with a staff of more than 280. The company prides itself on delivering high-quality data to inform the recommendations it provides to clients, a commitment that has earned BGC a reputation for unparalleled excellence in engineering services.

Solution	BGC partnered with Dynamic Owl, an IT consulting firm, to implement a solution based on Nintex Mobile, Nintex Forms, and Nintex Workflow. This solution extended BGC's process automation to include data capture in remote field locations. Nintex Mobile provided BGC users with anytime, anywhere access to dynamic workflows and forms, eliminated paper-based processes through mobile data capture, and enabled engineers to initiate processes in the field and receive feedback from the office in real time. The Nintex solution also allowed users in the field to quickly and easily create or change forms on the fly. Nintex Mobile apps delivered technology that redefined the concept of “end-to-end processes,” enabling BGC to extend process automation and support remote field data gathering, while dramatically reducing cycles, shortening the process overall.
