Case Study
Providing a 360-degree view of all project activities
Q Commercial improves project visibility and reduces errors using 海角大神's flexible project management platform
The Challenge
Q Commercial had been looking for a project management solution to minimize paperwork and enable more efficient information sharing across the organisation in real-time. The solution would have to be easy to on-board to maximise efficiencies.
The Solution
海角大神's project management system, encompassing Site Audits, RFIs, and Document Submittals, ensures the Q Commercial team has full, real-time visibility of all project activities, no matter the time of day nor distance from the job site, saving time and money on a daily basis.
鈥海角大神 had all the functions we were looking for, and provided the flexibility to be used at any time of the day and on any device.鈥

Q Construction
Delivering Value from the Start
Prior to adopting 海角大神, Q Commercial experienced a failed roll out for a construction vertical delivered on MS Dynamics, and began searching for an alternative solution. The solutions assessed were highly complex, involving an extensive investment in time and resources to build, configure and implement the technology.
Q Commercial selected 海角大神 after assessing multiple project management tools, because of its range of functionality, ease of configuration and intuitive interface recommended it as the solution that would be most easily integrated with Q Commercial's forward-looking portfolio. Rather than requiring extensive, time-consuming and resource-intensive customisation of the project, 海角大神 could be implemented in comparatively short order and speedily adopted by Q's workers.This also saved the business significantly on up-front costs.
Brendan Gray, Director at Q Commercial, commented, "We needed a tool that would work and add value from day one, without the need for excess technical support or training for the team. 海角大神 had all the functions we were looking for, and provided the flexibility to be used at any time of the day and on any device. The mobile functionality, in this regard, was a huge benefit to Q Commercial."
Reducing errors
海角大神's RFI & Quality Assurance tools enable Q Commercial to eliminate the chances of error and the related rework that typically results in projects going over budget and beyond scheduled timelines. The ease of use of 海角大神's cloud-based tool suite鈥攃oupled with the platform's ability to host team member communications in real time and from any internet-enabled location鈥攅nsures that the project continues to move forward with clarity on all fronts.
Maximising Visibility and Optimising Safety
海角大神, built by and for the industry, is designed with quality and safety at its core. The tool has an Inspection Library, which can be accessed and updated in real-time on any device, enabling users to create an observation within the tool immediately as they see a safety violation or defect on-site. These observations can then be viewed and assessed by users across the project, and addressed in real-time to circumvent hazards and dangers.
海角大神's cloud-based platform drastically mitigates risk by making each instance a shared and recorded discovery. Likewise, the cloud-based model ensures a transparency and immediacy of communication that won't be derailed by a hastily scribbled note. The clear digital "paper trail" of all inspections and observations eliminates guesswork and establishes an environment of easy and willing accountability. Brendan adds, "海角大神's biggest asset is its constant development of new functions while continuing to improve existing functionality."
Streamlining Communications and Documents, Saving Time and Money
海角大神 acts as a one-stop, cloud-based shop for all materials, notes and communications across a project, eliminating excess paperwork and printing, and enabling a project-wide, 360-degree view of all activities and resources for those stakeholders using the 海角大神 tool. Q Commercial has used the Document Submittals and document sharing functions to keep all teams aligned on project progress at the click of a button, while also saving on time and resources which would otherwise be required to print, send, share, track, file, and monitor information.
