02-12-2020, Coventry : UK based Optilan, a leading communications and security services provider, has chosen Wrench SmartProject as the EDMS system across their projects.

When the 2020 global pandemic struck businesses worldwide, Optilan was already in the process of restructuring its operations and was hence able to quickly leverage the crisis to accelerate digital transformation. Like many project companies today, Optilan’s workforce is spread across multiple locations, which creates high levels of complexity (including non-optimal resource utilization) across operations and a need for standardized processes. This need was exponentially aggravated by the pandemic induced restrictions.

To streamline this corporate restructuring, Optilan partnered with PSP Associates, a Consultancy Services Company. PSP’s mandate was to select a suitable technology framework that would support Optilan’ s corporate growth.

After PSP evaluated multiple systems, they decided to go with Wrench SmartProject. The deciding factor was SmartProject’s built-in best practices in engineering document management and project monitoring (developed from knowledge accrued over the past 20 years), which readily aligned with Optilan’s project management needs.

Said Wrench COO, Manesh Alias “Of course we couldn’t have predicted the pandemic but the concept of a change-resistant operations model for project companies is precisely what Wrench has been planning for and designing for over 20 years now, which is why we focus on first standardizing and then digitizing the project process before taking everything ‘online’. Our goal is and has always been to make our client’s business crisis-proof, whatever form the particular crisis may take.”
