HR, Finance and Other Business Processes, Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Our client, a large concrete remix company based in Central Iowa with numerous locations across the greater Midwest, faced challenges in generating and maintaining reports from their Viewpoint Vista database. The existing reporting process was time-consuming, costly, and increasingly difficult to manage. To address these issues and streamline their reporting and data management, they turned to Nobious for a solution. Nobious developed a centralized data reporting warehouse that consolidates Viewpoint Vista data into a separate database on a nightly basis. This warehouse optimized the data for reporting and other business intelligence needs. In addition, Nobious introduced Microsoft Power BI solutions to enhance the company’s report creation capabilities, making it easier to generate reports. The data within the warehouse was tailored for the company’s dashboards and external system integrations, including third-party cloud providers. A comprehensive data dictionary was provided, empowering the company to understand its data and create reports independently when necessary. As a result, the company can now rapidly develop […]

Employee Training Tracking With Viewpoint Vista

HR, Finance and Other Business Processes, Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Our client, a prominent concrete construction company specializing in multi-level building projects in the Chicago area, faced challenges in monitoring employee safety training using Viewpoint Vista’s existing VU.1 tools. Their previous solution relied heavily on manual data entry, making it difficult to verify employee attendance at safety training sessions—a crucial requirement to meet OSHA safety standards. They sought a more efficient solution to automatically track safety training within their organization and turned to Nobious for assistance. Nobious proposed a solution that leveraged SMS texting technology to send attendance lists to crew members’ personal phones, allowing them to check in at safety training events. This approach eliminated the need for crew members to have usernames and passwords, instead using custom URLs sent to their phones for recognition. The solution not only tracked attendance but also managed training materials, including reading materials and videos. Crew members could conveniently watch training videos on their personal devices and take quizzes to confirm their comprehension.

Inventory Management, Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Nobious assisted a marble and tile company based near Seattle, Washington, in overcoming its inventory tracking challenges. The client specialized in marble projects for both residential and commercial buildings across the state of Washington and were struggling with efficiently managing thousands of slabs in their warehouse. Not only did this make it difficult to keep track of quantities, monitor usage, and bill customers accurately, but it also hindered their ability to locate slabs and manage deliveries effectively. To address these issues, the client turned to Nobious which helped them develop a robust inventory management system that is tightly integrated with Viewpoint Spectrum. This system enabled the seamless tracking of inventory from its arrival in the warehouse, through the manufacturing processes, and all the way to the job site via the use of barcode scanning technology. Furthermore, the system also facilitated the automation of activities within the fabrication department, enabling quick and accurate location and consumption of slabs for ongoing projects

The solution focused on mobile convenience for field team members while also providing a wide range of Administrative capabilities for the office.

WORK ORDER AUTOMATION

Inventory Management, Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Our client’s parts department needed a way for employees to quickly enter work orders and order parts. Their ERP system (Viewpoint) required an expensive new subscription in order to give access to their mechanics, technicians and other members of the field team. Instead of paying these high fees forever, they decided to build a solution themselves. They engaged Nobious, and we built a custom web and mobile based add-on that tightly integrated with their ERP system. Now, mechanics can order parts using their phone from the site of the break down, warehouse teams can scan any barcode, and they have no monthly fees since they own the software.

VIEWPOINT REPORTING DATA WAREHOUSE

Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Our client wanted to create and publish daily management dashboard reports for their management teams throughout the organization. However, after creating the dashboard reports directly from their ERP system, the reports ran slowly and took a long time to refresh. This frustrated users, and dashboard adoption was slow. Nobious created a specialized reporting data warehouse for the client which was optimized for reporting and business intellgence processes. Now, the dashboards refresh nearly instantly. In addition, the warehouse can be expanded to quickly analyze any type of data within the company. View the full case study here: Viewpoint Corporate Reporting

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Inventory Management, Projects, Viewpoint Integrations

Our client manages several large warehouses which store parts and inventory for their fleet of large construction, hauling, and road building equipment. Their ERP system tracked this inventory but required significant manually entered data and very little automation. They contacted Nobious and we worked with them to design more automated processes to track inventory in and out of their warehouses. Our solution managed orders, order receipts, equipment servicing, and regular inventory count processes. The software also introduced barcode scanning technology into the process and included a custom mobile application built only for our client, that ran directly on the scanners and integrated with the central system. Now data input is automated through the use of barcode scanners to order and receive product and inventory counts are significantly more accurate, potentially saving the company millions of dollars annually. Now the client is considering how the technology we built for them might also be used to track equipment usage. View the case study here: Viewpoint
