Testimonial – Michel Boeckx, Chief Technology Officer at Philly Shipyard
How Floor2Plan Transformed Productivity and Efficiency at Philly Shipyard Michel Boeckx Chief Technology Officer 1. What was the problem or challenge you were having before you discovered Floor2Plan? Before Floor2Plan, we faced constant timesheet errors, fragmented insights, dispersed systems and excessive time spent on bureaucracy. The challenge was our front-line workers being pulled away too much from core shipbuilding tasks. 2. What did the frustration feel like or what efforts were involved in the previous state? It was incredibly frustrating trying to fit generic corporate software into the unique needs of shipbuilding. We spent too much time explaining our requirements and trying to adapt systems that weren’t designed for our way of working. 3. What is different when using Floor2Plan? Floor2Plan is tailored specifically for shipbuilding, seamlessly integrating with SAP and our core processes. On top we’re now also DCAA compliant. Overall it has reduced administrative burdens and improved communication on running tasks, status, and progress. Allowing us to focus on our primary work—building ships. 4. Can you take us to the moment when you realized Floor2Plan was working to solve your problem? The realization hit one Monday morning when errors dropped to single digits as we were processing timesheets for thousands of workers. It was clear that Floor2Plan was genuinely solving our problems. On top of this more insights are created about costs and workloads. 5. Can you tell us what life looks like now that your problem is solved or being solved? Now, our operations are more streamlined and efficient. We spend less time on bureaucracy and have a smoother workflow. Floor2Plan has made a significant positive impact on our business.
