How did Sundeala revolutionise its operations with Infraspeak?

About Sundeala

Sundeala is known for being the creator of the world's first fibreboard for construction in 1898. Over a hundred years later, it remains one of its leading manufacturers.

These days the company combines traditional manufacturing methods with cutting-edge technology to offer a sustainable, 100% circular cellulose fibreboard and sends absolutely nothing to landfill in the process. They also refrain from harmful chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or formaldehyde. Plus, their products are still 100% British-made.

The challenges

Paper-based operationsfallback mark

• Maintenance Manager, Mike Kelly, took over manually run operations in need of transformation.

• To-do lists were written on a whiteboard, and jobs were on bits of paper.

The first attempt didn't succeed

• Mike first tried to solve the problem with Excel but this didin't work either.

• Data was still missing.

Infraspeak provides Mike with a good night's sleep.

Infraspeak helped Mike go from urgent calls at 4 a.m. to seamless operations he can follow inside work hours. Suddenly they have a centralised, digitalised log of work orders and equipment history, transparent, real-time execution and Mike can spend more time doing what really matters: strategising on improving their operations.

Mike reports time savings of over 2 hours a week, equating to 13 days a year, and says the number of calls he receives has dropped by 60%. His technicians are now more indepedent and can leave any important notices directly on the app.
