Success Story
The challenge faced by Lomans is characterized by rapid company growth, a lack of standardized approaches, inefficient data sharing, limited access to project insights, complex manual workflows, a need for digitization and better collaboration tools, a desire for process standardization, and a focus on enhancing customer satisfaction. These challenges led Lomans to seek a digital solution for improving data management, project collaboration, and overall project efficiency.
The initial challenge they tackled was the absence of standardized workflows. Lomans found that different departments and teams were working in diverse ways, leading to inefficiencies in their project management processes. To address this, they set a clear and specific goal to establish standardized project workflows, ensuring that every project followed a consistent and efficient path.
Efficient data sharing was the next priority. Lomans realized the need to streamline the way project data was shared among team members. Collaboration also became a central focus. The company aimed to foster better teamwork among different project teams, both within the organization and externally.
Access to project insights was another hurdle. Lomans recognized that not all team members had easy access to crucial project insights, which hindered progress. Their specific and measurable goal was to ensure that all team members could effectively utilize 3D modeling data, thus enhancing project insights accessibility.
Digitization was at the core of their transformation journey. Lomans committed to shifting from manual processes to digitized ones within a specific timeframe. This move toward digital transformation was both specific and time-based, ensuring a structured transition.
Effective data management was yet another dimension of their plan. Lomans intended to create a structured approach to data management, ensuring that the right people had access to the right information. This goal was both specific and realistic, addressing the need for better data management.
Finally, they sought to save time in their project management processes. Their goal was to achieve significant time savings within a specific timeframe, allowing them to work more efficiently.
Autodesk played a pivotal role in helping Lomans achieve their project goals by providing specific solutions and services that addressed the challenges the company faced. The Autodesk solutions and services that most impacted Lomans' project goals were Autodesk Build, part of Autodesk Construction Cloud, and the comprehensive support offered by Autodesk, including training and implementation services.

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."
GMB Chooses Autodesk Construction Cloud
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.
