“Raildiary’s simple and initiative user interface makes the whole input process incredibly easy and efficient."
Genaro Yambao
Site Manager,
The lack of communication between the site and office teams at Murphy's, compounded by multiple processes across different platforms such as Word, Excel, and Whatsapp, had led to significant challenges. This included a communication lag and the generation of poor-quality, unstructured data. Recognizing the need for a solution that could bridge this gap and provide real-time data visualization, automated site reports, and powerful data-led insights, the innovative team at Murphy’s embarked on a search for a comprehensive solution.
“Before Raildiary we used Excel or Word for different elements of site reporting and Raildiary just rolls all that into one. It's all captured and stored in the cloud, ready for handover as part of the health and safety file. The tracking of progress on site has really improved with Raildiary as we can embed and compare against our tender Bill of Quantities. We always know where we are up to on the project and can then act accordingly." - Project Manager, Anthony Pollard
