FlowForma®, the leading provider of Process Automation tools for Microsoft Office 365®, are proud to announce that its customer, the A14 Integrated Delivery Team, won the 'Productivity Initiative of the Year' award at the British Construction Industry Awards 2019 in London recently, for its innovative process work using the FlowForma Process Automation tool.
The A14 Integrated Delivery Team's 'Permit to Dig' process, an approval request procedure, has been recognized as a ground breaking process for companies in the construction industry, due to its speed of deployment and the productivity improvements seen throughout the business. Once a manual paper-based process requiring employees across business departments to print off and complete, this is now one digitized workflow thanks to the FlowForma Process Automation tool.
"The adoption of IT is quite poor in construction. We still rely on a lot of paper-based processes, people having to meet face-to-face and share documents to get things done. I wanted to centralize and standardize data across projects, ensuring a consistency," commented James Morgan IT Manager, A14 Joint Venture. FlowForma's solution has been rolled out in other areas of the business with more than 76 processes automated to date, and more manual tasks earmarked for digitization in the pipeline.

We love to see our customers delivering tangible results, especially organizations in the construction sector, who are now embracing digital technologies in order to move away from paper-based processes. The 'Permit to Dig' process is just a sample of the complex business processes that organizations in the construction sector are facing," added Olivia Bushe, Chief Executive Officer at FlowForma.
