How a European inspection company wins 60% more new business with AI powered scheduling
An inspection company in southern Europe with 400 inspectors focuses on executing inspections on large scale projects such as airports, stadiums, and shipping ports.The inspections they conduct often include heavy machinery, cranes and other site equipment.
The company has perpetually struggled with their complex schedule. Because they conduct a variety of inspections that deal with different standards, every scheduling instance creates its own unique puzzle.
Because each inspection instance requires a team member with a distinct set of certifications, only select inspectors are qualified to conduct each particular job.
Additionally, inspectors are also limited by geographic ranges and availability of specific tools and equipment that are also shared throughout a team. With these scheduling conditions, the company has historically just been treading water on scheduling. The company also has to deny incoming business for projects due to artificially low scheduling capacity.
