Web and mobile applications for industry and construction

The website of a manufacturing or construction company speaks to customers, business partners, the professional public and job applicants, often in several countries and languages at once. We build it around what the company can do: a catalogue of products and solutions with specifications and downloadable documentation, references and completed projects, production shown through video, photos or a virtual tour, technologies, capacities and certifications.

For manufacturers of building materials and components this also includes a technical library for designers and contractors (technical data sheets, declarations of performance, installation guides, BIM and CAD objects, consumption calculators) and a point-of-sale finder – a map of builders’ merchants, dealers and installers by region and product range.

Language versions for target markets have content and contacts adapted to each country, not just translated, and for branches of international groups we build a local website within the global identity and headquarters’ rules. A careers section presenting operations, with applications from mobile, belongs here too, because a manufacturer’s website today is as much about recruitment as it is about sales.

When a product is made of variants, dimensions, materials or accessories, the configurator guides the customer, dealer or salesperson through the choices, makes sure everything fits together, calculates the price as they go and passes the result on as an exact specification to a quote, an order or production.

What is being put together can also be seen: we visualise the product in a specific configuration as well as the whole assembly (a production line, a shelving system, fencing, a process unit). A quote takes a few clicks, and production receives a brief that leaves nothing to argue about.

A service technician in the field needs the job, the machine’s history and documentation on a tablet, not in a folder. The field service app records the work done, time, parts and materials used, photos from the site, and a report the customer signs right on the technician’s tablet. The signature produces a service report for the customer and the basis for invoicing and stock, with no retyping in the office.

Visit scheduling, job status and integration with the ERP or service portal keep the whole process, from fault report to invoice, in one system.

A machine operator, setter or warehouse worker does not write a CV, but will reply from their phone in two minutes. A careers website shows operations, people and conditions as they really are, offers a way to respond to a vacancy without a ten-minute form, and passes applicants on to the company’s HR processes.

Campaign pages for specific positions or plants measure where applicants come from and what they cost, so recruitment is managed by data, not by gut feeling.
