Challenges
These large-scale construction projects require all aspects of the project to be coordinated perfectly, ensuring deadlines are met and budgets aren’t exceeded. There are several challenges that arise when working on these large-scale projects, relating to procurement time, delivery delays, product availability, planning and budgeting challenges and security concerns, whilst ensuring distribution and delivery of materials, tools and fixings are precisely when needed and within the appropriate timeframe.
Solution
VJ Technology chose the Opus technology solution from Sellfware Technology Ltd. Opus is an autonomous product management platform that enables 24/7, staffless click-and-collect environments to be conveniently located for secure, easy access to essential items for sale, hire or distribution.
VJ Technology has used the Opus technology solution for VJ iStore® - their dedicated onsite store for fixings, fasteners and building consumables. The now award-winning VJ iStore® procurement through to delivery solution is in use on more than 25 large infrastructure projects throughout the UK including Hinkley Point C and HS2.
Opus technology has allowed VJT to provide customers with a bespoke scalable solution tailored to their needs, giving them 24/7 access to their most-used fixings, tools and building consumables on-site at the point of need, via a click-and-collect order system. The iStore solution is secure with comprehensive reporting and planned auto-replenishment.
