Fiber optic construction site monitoring platform

Category: Fibre optique

About this project

This platform was designed to radically simplify construction site management and the creation of deliverables for your clients. No more scattered photos, lost notes, and hours spent compiling documents at the end of the project. The tool centralizes all information in one place, accessible in real-time by teams in the office and on-site.\n\nThanks to the mobile application, your technicians capture photos, add comments, and validate key steps directly from their smartphone, even without internet connection. Data is synchronized automatically, providing a clear and instant view of progress. The office can monitor projects, anticipate bottlenecks, and respond to client questions with up-to-date information.\n\nThe main asset is the generation of reports and Work Completion Records (DOE) in just a few clicks. The platform intelligently compiles photos, plans, and project information to create a professional and complete document, ready to be sent to the client. Additionally, the solution integrates a real-time storage monitoring system with a clear interface to track space consumption, as well as an automatic module for generating service summaries based on field annotations, enabling intelligent calculation of materials needed for each intervention. You save precious time, reduce the risk of errors, and improve client satisfaction by providing them with impeccable documentation.

Key Features

  • Centralized Site Management: Create and monitor all your projects from a single interface. Access history, documents, and stakeholders with one click for a 360° view.
  • Field Data Collection: A simple mobile app for your teams: geolocated photo capture, note-taking, and step validation. Works even offline to never lose information.
  • Automatic DOE Generation: Automatically compile all site data (photos, reports, documents) into a professional and customizable Work Completion Record.
  • Real-Time Activity Monitoring: Visualize site progress live thanks to data synchronization from the field. Anticipate delays and make the right decisions at the right time.
  • Document Storage and Sharing: Centralize all important documents (plans, technical sheets, photos) in a secure space. Share them easily with your teams or clients.
  • Web Interface for the Office: A clear back-office to manage projects, handle users, and view activity reports. Quick learning curve for immediate efficiency.
  • Real-Time Storage Visualization: Clear and readable interface to monitor live storage consumption. Visualize space used by project, file type and period, with automatic alerts in case of saturation.
  • Automated Service Summary Management: Automatic generation of service summaries based on field annotations. Intelligent calculation of necessary materials according to validated services and resource optimization.
  • Team and Access Management: Define roles and permissions for each user, whether in the office or on-site, to ensure security and relevance of information.

Challenges

This project raised several important challenges. The first one was technical: designing a tool that was both powerful and intuitive, yet extremely simple for field technicians to use. The goal was to minimize the learning curve by relying on repetitive and consistent processes, ensuring that the tool could be adopted quickly and effortlessly. Another major challenge was understanding the client’s needs. Since my client had never used such a digital tool before, it required many discussions to clarify and formalize their expectations. This support work involved “untangling” ideas that were sometimes vague or implicit, and translating them into concrete, relevant features within the platform. Finally, the solution had to remain reliable even in difficult conditions (dust, limited network) and guarantee synchronization without any data loss. Striking the right balance between technical robustness and ease of use was therefore at the heart of this project.

Learnings

This project offered several valuable lessons. From a technical perspective, one of the main learnings was the implementation of a maintainability service and a photo storage management system. I had to design an architecture based on cloud storage, ensuring both data durability and full accessibility at all times. This gave me deeper insight into the challenges of visibility and reliability of data in a distributed environment. However, the most important lesson was organizational and relational. I learned the value of setting up structured meetings and clear communication frameworks to help clients express their needs. The challenge was not only to gather information, but also to create an environment where the client felt listened to, valued, and guided. This experience showed me that successful support relies as much on helping clients articulate their needs without frustration or hesitation as it does on the technical solution itself.
