Established in 1985 and certified by ISO 9001:2015, Geométrica, located in São Paulo, is an engineering project company offering differentiated solutions in infrastructure. Experienced with multidisciplinary teams of qualified professionals in various engineering and architecture fields, Geométrica develops important projects for municipal, state, and federal administration bodies, as well as private companies like Promon, OX (Bertin Group), BASF, Siemens, among others.
The Challenge
Geométrica faced a gap in its management processes due to a lack of productivity indicators and difficulty in tracing projects and their documentation. Additionally, the company needed to eliminate daily backups for file recovery and centralize control by project managers, aiming for greater efficiency and security.
The Solution
Geométrica, an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, identified SoftExpert solutions as the ideal product not only to address its initial needs but also to continue adopting ISO-defined policies and practices. For this, the company invested in SoftExpert Project (project and service management); SoftExpert Document (document and record management); SoftExpert Analytics (Business Intelligence); and SoftExpert Request (request and service management) components. These solutions, with natively integrated components, a 100% web interface, and customization and future expansion possibilities, ensured the necessary automation and integration. According to Antônio Pires, the implementation carried out by ITSX (a SoftExpert partner) was fast and met all compatibility requirements, preserving data migrated from previously used systems.
The Results
With the implementation of SoftExpert solutions, Geométrica, with 150 active users, achieved significant management improvements. Éderson Monteiro, planning analyst, highlighted a 98% reduction in daily backup problems, exceeding company expectations. The centralization of documents and projects resulted in up to a sevenfold decrease in disk space used on file servers and brought agility and ease in traceability, now available in a single repository.
Leonardo Pedro Lorenzo, technical commercial director, stated that:
“SoftExpert solutions constitute an important business management strategy for the company, supporting its decision-making with reliable and precise indicators, in addition to being an optimizing tool for controlling and managing documents and projects, providing greater security for our business and, consequently, greater satisfaction for our clients.”
The tool improved the distribution and execution of activities, managing effort and deadlines.
The gains included: greater efficiency with automation and integration; increased control and reliability of processes, team performance, and indicators; support for strategic project management; and better management of structured actions to resolve goal deviations. With the results achieved, Geométrica plans to expand the use of SoftExpert Document, Project, Analytics, and Request components to other companies within the group, and to acquire SoftExpert Performance and Competence for performance management and competence evaluation, respectively.
