Success Story

GMB Chooses Autodesk Construction Cloud

GMB Chooses Autodesk Construction Cloud

Customer challenge

GMB is a versatile company, active in the world of water. GMB realizes dykes and port sites, renovates and builds sewers and pumping stations and designs and realizes purification installations and sludge processing installations. Digitization is high on the strategic agenda of the family business with its head office in Opheusden, Gelderland. Reason enough to work closely with Cadac to take steps in the coming years, especially in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The first step is to install Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Project goals

“We were looking for a party that not only supplies and installs software,” explains Marc Vogt, design manager and design team leader of the Water Quality & Installations business unit at GMB. “We want to be one of the frontrunners in the field of BIM within five years. A firm ambition that we can only realize with solutions that best suit our company with intensive guidance. But what is BIM? What is digitization? They are container concepts that I can't do much with. Switching to a completely new working method requires time and customization. It has to suit us." "Switching to BIM is only feasible if our people like it. From management to implementers in the field. Connection with our suppliers, customers and other partners is also crucial. Ultimately, we asked Cadac to be our advisor, sparring partner and supplier of the necessary Autodesk software in this broad process."

Solution

Cadac opted for an intensive approach and called in consultant Kevin de Bresser to first make an in-depth analysis of the work processes at Water Quality & Installations. He not only interviewed the managers to clarify what GMB exactly wants in the coming years, he also held talks with all key users. “It is a big change,” said Kevin de Bresser. “In that case, we first want to know what GMB's objectives are at a strategic level and then subsequently assess how the people on the floor and in the field are currently working, which software they are currently using, which bottlenecks they experience." From the process analysis, the Cadac team concluded that moving to the Autodesk Construction Cloud was the best option for GMB.

Business outcome

"We decided to run a pilot with the new program first. Theory is great, in practice you can really experience how it works and whether Construction Cloud is the right choice. In preparation, we have set up the Construction Cloud environment together with the Cadac consultants and our own people with the Cadac Best Practice, tailored to our wishes and requirements. That way you take everyone along in the change.” "Ultimately, a project is only successful if everyone is motivated and can perform his or her task well. Below the line, the added value is becoming increasingly clear. The complete trajectory is designed in 3D. I expect the Construction Cloud to become established with us."

Conclusion

For us at Cadac, such a long-term partnership is also a process of growth. We are in a very dynamic market, BIM software is constantly developing and there is a lot of choice for the customer. It is only important to link the choice of software to the purpose for which you use it. Software follows the process and not the other way around. We also feed back our findings in the market to Autodesk, we make suggestions for improvements and adjustments. That is another advantage if you are a Platinum Solution Provider for such a large developer.

Henco Industries Grows with Autodesk PLM

The real growth spurt came after the acquisition in 2008 by the listed conglomerate Aalberts Industries. The extra capital and the large worldwide network of Aalberts opened the doors for Henco Industries internationally. "That's right", says Jill Gielis, "Since 2008 we have grown significantly every year. But that also has a downside. Each department had its own system and culture. Everyone did their very best, but in their own way. There was little cohesion." As a result, mutual communication left much to be desired; various Excel files, different versions of projects, circulated. More and more meetings and consultations were needed, production was delayed.

World Leader of Automatic Bus Door Systems

Public transport is growing and governments are investing heavily in electric and clean buses, so orders for door systems are 'raining'. “And not just here in Bolsward,” says Kevin Visser. “Our sales offices in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, the United Kingdom and Germany are also doing very well. And not to forget in the US where we have a second production location.” Totally fine of course, but Ventura Systems is reaching its limits. “It is all becoming very complex,” says director and co-owner Jan Lont. “We supply to large and small bus manufacturers in Europe, Asia and America. Manufacturers constantly innovate and want to bring new bus types to the market. In addition, older types are also produced and a door of the same type and version sometimes has to be replaced. This means that we now manage an extremely broad product range. We have more than 1,600 different types of glass plates in our database alone."
