SETEC × Outmind

How an International Engineering Firm Can Become More Competitive with Outmind

Team at Work

The collaboration between SETEC Bâtiment and Outmind had a clear objective: to help an engineering firm with nearly 250 employees deliver projects more effectively—both in terms of deadlines and quality—by drastically streamlining access to relevant information.

Faced with a substantial volume of documentation associated with managing large-scale projects, most companies in the sector experience a significant impact on their productivity. In this context, Outmind simplifies access to knowledge, thereby allowing employees to focus on their areas of expertise.

Issues in SETEC Building

SETEC Bâtiment is a specialized unit within the SETEC Group. It employs nearly 250 people in France who specialize in engineering consulting (primarily engineers, project managers, and project directors). SETEC faced a wide range of challenges before implementing Outmind:

01

There was little or no capitalization on projects and requests for proposals.

02

The loss of evidence and records of communications with the client led to difficult situations: delays, six-figure penalties…

03

The files stored on the server could not be found without knowing their exact location.

04

When employees couldn't find the information they needed, they might have relied on incomplete information (which carried a high risk of errors), overburdened their colleagues—or even the client—or unnecessarily recreated documents that already existed.

One month's work per year saved

We estimate that Outmind saves each of our project managers and engineers one month of work per year, thanks to the solution’s performance and high adoption rate.
