Traditional workflows in the modular construction industry are counterintuitive and have numerous barriers compared to the flexibility and adaptability the industry needs.
Rigid processes in modular construction cause significant problems, ranging from a lack of flexibility to communication issues. Below, we detail the challenges that construction companies face when implementing rigid processes:
Inflexibility
Inflexible workflows stay stagnant instead of evolving with needs, as they are difficult to update or adapt to the latest technology to improve processes.
Delays
Delays can range from slow and manual data processing, which causes errors and inefficiency, to slower deadline delivery.
Communication Gaps
Rigid processes create silos instead of seamless, open communication. They cause your modular construction workflows to become disjointed, with various departments, teams, and managers waiting on one another for the latest, relevant updates.
Although the modular construction industry faces traditional challenges, including the need for standardized processes, modern advancements in field service management (FSM) solutions provide actionable strategies.
Gomocha’s no-code solution:
Architect Workflows, Fast
Flow Designer allows your construction company to draft and redraft workflows on the fly without coding and deploy them instantly.
Rigid processes often become barriers to progress. But when you can draft and redraft workflows proactively by dragging and dropping instead of coding, your company can be ready for anything.
Field service organizations can face a daunting task when new safety regulations hit. Traditionally, updating workflows can take weeks of coding and testing. By the time changes are implemented, companies risk being out of compliance and potentially losing business during all that time it took them to get back in.
But with the Gomocha Rapid Workflow Architect Efficiency, field service operators can remap processes with simple drags and drops, test them virtually, and roll them out company-wide in a single day, if not in a few hours.
Experience Continuous Process Evolution
The mobile app is automatically updated with up-to-date workflows, customer and asset information, registration data, and more.
Outdated processes create chaos. Automatic updates ensure everyone follows the latest workflows, synchronizing operations with data and boosting efficiency.
If your business implements a new safety protocol, everyone’s got it. Maybe you have customer information that has changed. In that case, it’s right there on the app.
Gomocha helps you avoid team members saying: “I didn’t know we were doing it that way now.” The field service app facilitates smooth, synchronized operations across the board.
Practice Safety First, Always
Automated Safety Audit Logbooks digitize and automate safety checks and data trails, ensuring compliance and reducing liability.
In field services, one safety slip-up can spell disaster. But let’s face it: Paper checklists and manual logs can invite more failures and irritate your techs.
When you practice safety first, always in Gomocha, you’ll turn this necessary evil into a smooth, foolproof process. Techs are guided through safety checks step-by-step, speeding entry without any skipped steps.
But it’s not just about prevention. When audits or incidents occur, you’re not scrambling through file cabinets. Every check, signature, and timestamp is right there — clear, accessible, and indisputable — because they’re byproducts of using the system. It’s peace of mind, digitized.
Expand Field Service Intelligence
Gomocha Data Lake aggregates all field service data into a unified repository for advanced analytics and machine learning. Siloed data limits insights. A comprehensive data lake turns your entire service history into strategic intelligence, powering smarter decisions across your construction organization.
In field service, data can be a competitive advantage … IF you can use it. The Gomocha Data Lake expands your field service intelligence with every service call.
Through Gomocha, your company can seamlessly speed up workflows and processes, ensuring greater efficiency.
