SoftTech Engineers - Paving the Engineering and Construction Work flow for Enhanced Project Life cy
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry faces severe challenges, but productivity issues top the list. Construction firms need to leverage advanced computing technologies and web based applications to improve competitiveness and efficiency. With its domain expertise in the AEC industry, Pune headquartered SoftTech Engineers (ISO: 9001-2008) delivers products that enable customers to reduce costs and increase productivity. Established in 1996, SoftTech Engineers develops configurable and flexible products that assist customers to have effective control and improve resource utilization in-terms of people, infrastructure and customer service. The company offers solutions and services which encompass the entire project lifecycle of construction projects starting from building plan approval to facility management. On the flipside, the price of the software and incompatibility with other software proves to be a roadblock in BIM adoption. Project managers face BIM challenges concerning software such as software bugs and incorrect modelling procedures as a result of the lack of experience in using 3D modelling. Aligning the products closely along the above stated issues, SoftTech delivers its ERP solution named OPTICON that helps construction companies to fully take advantage of BIM for the projects. Being an accredited ADN (Autodesk Developer Network) partner, SoftTech has developed a proprietary interface to read 3D Revit models into “OPTICON” application for extracting BOQ and use it for cost estimation as well as project management. The application helps the construction companies to directly utilize the 3D models prepared by Architects and Consultants for cost estimation, project management and construction execution. The dashboards and MIS reports are accessible through the mobile app to keep the decision makers and managers updated on real time progress.
SoftTech’s solutions are based on Microsoft technologies and platforms integrated with business intelligence (BI) tools and specific software systems offered by technology leaders IBM, Oracle and SAP. “Having successfully integrated our applications with ‘Cognos’, ‘Microsoft Project’, ‘SAP Business Object’, ‘Tally –Accounting Software; we enable customers the benefits of both industry standard software systems with SoftTech’s purpose-built focused applications,” asserts Vijay Gupta, Founder & CEO, SoftTech.
Building a Plan Approval Management System
With its domain expertise in the construction industry, SoftTech has correlated the relevant engineering and construction work flow with corresponding requirements of document generation & sharing, thereby expediting the tedious process of managing construction drawings and documents. Moreover, the company provides AutoDCR that incorporates ‘BPAMS’ (Building Plan Approval Management System) which aids Architects or Consultants to upload the building proposals through internet to the approving authorities enabling them to track the progress. Also, this helps in eliminating human errors and speeds up the building plan scrutiny to a great extent.
Focused to meet the latest technologies trends, SoftTech intends to update all its service platforms like Cloud, BIM, Mobile Apps, SMS Integration, and Payment Gateways. By adopting Cloud Office automation using MS Office 365 and collaboration using SharePoint as well as agile methodologies and ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) using Microsoft TFS (Team Foundation Server), the organization endeavors to deliver business benefits for enterprises in the near future.
