Summary

The client operated 24/7 across ~30 facilities, each with inconsistent and often informal shift handover practices. Text messages, handwritten logs and face-to-face conversations created operational risks, with critical safety information sometimes missed.

ReVisionz implemented Hexagon j5’s operator handover module, introducing a standardized process with configurable workflows. On-site engagement with operators enabled the solution to reflect real-world requirements while maintaining corporate consistency.

The project addressed a key safety driver raised during an insurance audit, helping the client lower operational risk and meet compliance expectations. It also improved information accuracy, provided auditable digital records, and supported lower insurance and operating costs by reducing safety incidents and compliance risks.

Challenges

  • Inconsistent shift handover practices across facilities.
  • No unified process to capture and track critical safety information.
  • Lack of early focus on business process definition before technology deployment.
  • Resistance from operators to adopting a standardized system.

Solutions

  • Conducted on-site assessments to understand existing practices and operator needs.
  • Developed a standard business process tailored for j5 while accommodating facility-specific requirements.
  • Updated procedures and policies to align with the new system.
  • Applied structured change enablement, including communication, training and frontline engagement, to encourage adoption.
