A smarter way to deliver all day project reports: faster, cheaper and with less errors

Waterlyst is a respected civil engineering consultancy with expertise in hydraulic and geotechnical design. Their teams are trusted for quality work, but one recurring task created constant pressure: preparing Ground Investigation (GI) Scoping and Specification reports. These reports are essential for all projects and producing them manually drained time and resources, while project deadlines keep getting tighter.

Manual and time demanding reporting with days spent on each GI report for multiple team members.
High risk of errors from data handling and checks and long review times.
Project delays affecting critical design stages.
High dependency on skilled and expensive human resources.

An Automated Reporting Tool was developed for Waterlyst and introduced as a game-changer. The platform was developed by NEXATEK's multi-disciplinary team including geotechnical engineers (to understand client's demands and develop the scientific knowledge), software developers (building AI-driven automation), UI/UX specialists (ensuring an intuitive software workflow and user friendly design). Together, the team delivered a customized software that automated data compilation, drafting, formatting, and quality checks, freeing Waterlyst's engineers to focus on engineering, not paperwork.

The transformation was immediate and measurable using NEXATEK's developed software:

Turnaround time was reduced by 74%, from 229 hours per project to 60 hours per project.
Costs reduced by 73%, saving $13,610 per report.
Errors decreased by 81%, ensuring higher quality, fewer revisions and faster review process.
Annual savings projected at ca. $365,000 across 27 reports per year in previous year.
