Soil and Materials Engineers Implements Spectra QEST’s Platform
(PRWEB) July 01, 2015 -- The platform includes a class leading laboratory information management system (QESTLab), a mobile solution for field based operations (QESTField) and a document distribution and collaboration system (Construction Hive). SME is set to benefit from efficiency gains, quality improvements and greater standardization. The platform has been implemented in ten offices throughout the Midwest.
Through implementing the QEST Platform, SME is realizing its goals of providing staff with the ability to easily track and manage work within the laboratory and field; streamlining the signing of reports to reduce time to delivery; and improving the billing process. The Platform fosters the use of scalable processes that allow SME to grow without losing efficiency.
Paul Schmeisl, PE, Regional Office Manager with SME said, “The Spectra QEST team has been incredibly responsive throughout the entire implementation process. The nature of our business demanded the implementation of a company-wide database in a very short time frame. Without their attention to detail and tireless efforts, this undertaking would not have been possible. The QEST Platform enables us to deliver the high quality, accurate information our clients demand with greater speed and efficiency. Flexibility and versatility of the system allows us to develop our own deliverables to meet the needs of our clients as our services grow and change.”
Spectra QEST Executive Director, Global Sales, Stephan Mavrakis said, “We are excited to be partnering with this growing, sophisticated and respected engineering firm. Our system is likely to further enhance the efficiency and quality of the services SME provides to its customers. We have been impressed with the calibre of people we worked with throughout the implementation process. The incredibly fast three-month roll out to some ten sites is also a testament to how well SME has been able to absorb the technology. ”
