My partner Lisa Glahn shares her thoughts on the latest trends in the construction industry and their impacts on manufacturing.

Case study here, this week we are posting about our collaboration with CENTINA Pty Ltd - a mid-tier construction firm based out of Adelaide, Australia. Over a 6 week process, with intermittent access to staff and consultative meetings, LEOTHOS: * Mapped the sales, marketing, and procurement processes of the entire company. * Provided a ‘handbook’ to each employee, which detailed their expected workflows with expected performance standards. It also included problems that remain unsolved; showing them where real value could be added. * Spent the next 5 weeks automating manual and repetitive tasks, as well as introducing a new CRM tool to aid in CENTINA’s digital transformation. As a result, CENTINA were able to: ✅ save 4 hours per employee / week (or $10,920 per employee / year) ✅ increase accountability within internal procurement process ✅ complete 750 automated tasks / week (and increasing !)

Business Model Shift: From selling tools to selling the tool-usage Hilti, the European manufacturer of high-end power tools for construction industry reconsidered their business model based on their customer value proposition. A contractor makes money by finishing project. If the required tools are not available or are not functioning properly, the job doesn’t get done. Contractors don’t make money by “owning” the tools, they make it by “using” them as efficiently as possible. Therefore, Hilti started offering “tools-on-rent” as a business model. This was a massive change: -       Shifting assets from customers’ balance sheets to its own -       Shift from selling to service -       KPI changed from sales to improving customer’s onsite productivity End Result: Higher customer value led to improved profitability for Hilti.
