"One of our most successful implementations has been using Morta to track agency labour. We have about 20 people inputting into the system, and now it just runs in the background. Everyone gets on with it, and it works beautifully."
- Andy Boutle, Head of Digital Construction @ ALEC
The results
By centralising data and automating key workflows, ALEC significantly improved collaboration across departments, reduced manual errors, and enhanced project oversight. • Reduced Delays and Errors: Automating key processes reduced errors related to manual data entry and improved the speed of project handovers and deliverable tracking. • Streamlined Collaboration: Different departments within ALEC, from HR to project management, now collaborate more efficiently through Morta, eliminating email back-and-forth and reliance on spreadsheets. • Enhanced Data Visibility: The centralised approach allowed for real-time tracking of project deliverables, significantly improving oversight across large-scale construction projects.
The problem
ALEC faced several challenges as they worked to modernise their processes: • Manual Workflow Management: The team relied heavily on Excel for managing project data, which introduced inefficiencies and human errors. • Fragmented Systems: Different teams used multiple tools, limiting visibility and making it difficult to collaborate effectively across departments. • Complex Project Deliverables: Managing deliverables for large-scale construction projects, particularly information delivery planning (IDP), was cumbersome and prone to delays.
The solution
ALEC adopted Morta to streamline their project management processes, centralise data, and improve collaboration across departments. • Standardised Templates: ALEC developed custom templates aligned with ISO 19650-2 standards for information management, allowing easy replication across projects. • Dynamic Data Management: Morta’s dynamic table relationships enabled ALEC to centralise project data, automate processes, and reduce manual intervention. • Seamless Integrations: ALEC integrated Morta with their existing tools, such as Aconex, to enable real-time tracking of project data and progress across various platforms.
The implementation
ALEC first tested Morta on a large project in Saudi Arabia. The solution proved its worth almost immediately, leading to standardised project templates and easy scalability across new projects. The Morta team provided hands-on support to overcome initial challenges, including data migration.
