How Mobilengine’s mobile workflow solution delivers for McGee Group
The introduction of Mobilengine, a mobile workflow solution which offers paperless administration for construction companies, is helping to improve efficiency and increase the accuracy of processes for multi-disciplined specialist contractor, McGee Group.
The fully customisable platform enables field based staff to complete processes ranging from stock management and daily resource allocation, to permits and HR tasks, through a mobile app – helping to save time, cut costs and ensure quality across the Group’s 1000+ employees.
After an initial pilot the intention is for McGee Group, which delivers a broad spectrum of decontamination, demolition, construction and civil engineering services operating as a specialist sub-contractor or main contractor, to move all paper based administration to one single Mobilengine application.
Michael Kelly, IT Project Manager at McGee Group, said: “Before Mobilengine, we had around 300 different paper based processes which often led to complicated, unstructured and inefficient field workflow control. The mobile based workflow system will enable us to improve efficiency, increase accuracy and make all processes more visible. It will revolutionise the way our field based staff complete everyday tasks.”
The Mobilengine solution, which is available as a pilot for construction companies, is used by McGee Group for daily resource allocation, HR tasks, building site stock management, safety tasks, permits and site diary. Site managers use Android tablets to access the app, giving real time communication between the site and HQ administration.
Michael Kelly added: “Mobilengine gives us control over essential documentation for processes such as site induction and permit issuing. More importantly, it makes it easier to comply with regulations, reduces administrative errors and ensures safety on site through more comprehensive reporting.
“It is a thoroughly comprehensive workflow management tool which not only makes life easier, but also improves processes too.”

How the Mobilengine platform saves time and improves accuracy for McGee Group:
Daily Resource Allocation
Site Managers use the app to allocate labour and plant assets to individual jobs on the demolition site, as well as coordinating waste materials. It makes allocation quicker and easier, reducing the time spent on administration processes.
HR tasks
Mobilengine allows McGee employees to fill out forms including new starter and site induction forms through a mobile or tablet and links to a backend HR system where the HR department can easily process the incoming forms and update records.
Stock management
Site management teams use the app to record incoming and returned goods, giving greater control over site stock to prevent loss of plants and materials.
Safety inspection
Safety managers conduct all necessary inspections on mobile to comply with regulations and improve safety on demolition sites. The results are saved retrospectively and warnings are automatically transferred to relevant managers for resolving.
Permits
Mobilengine also allows site managers to issue permits quickly and accurately through the mobile platform.
Site diary
Site managers record site proceedings and weather conditions on mobile to have a retrospective list of events. Visit www.mobilengine.com or call 0207 872 5866for more information.
