Challenge	TZ Civil, a leader in the installation and repair of all types of electrical underground infrastructure, was facing significant operational challenges due to its reliance on paper forms. The company had to manually read through all forms, which was a time-consuming process. Moreover, the forms were linked to the assets, and operators always had to have them on hand. Whenever issues arose, the company had to notify the maintenance team to inspect the asset and fix it. Additionally, the company was using the 'Dial Before You Dig' national platform for underground utilities referral service in Australia. This required printing every PDF and taking it to the site, which was not only cumbersome but also inefficient. Furthermore, workers often had to return to the office to retrieve documents they had forgotten to bring to the site, causing significant downtime. Read More

Solution	TZ Civil adopted Assignar, a mobile app that digitized their operations. The app allowed the company to set rules for certain form responses, which were automatically linked to the asset.
