BIM Services Provider Transformed from Project Based Engagement to Recurring Business Model by Building 3D Forge Viewer to Share & View BIM Files

About the Client

An AEC industry company based out of Italy dealing with BIM services with a range of solutions, including Digital Twin, IoT, Scan, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Services. The client is focused on helping organizations and building owners to use BIM in a strategic way to maximize their performance and reduce building management costs.

Summary

Earlier, the client had a project-based engagement with its customers wherein they worked on the project, delivered files and the project was closed. However, the client needed to change this business model to recurring engagement with its customers.

Hence, nCircleTech built a platform that enabled the client to share files with its customers on a client-branded platform which led to recurring visitors from their customers on this platform and further its also helped them improve the project coordination. 

Business Challenge/The Goal

The client needed a 3D forge Viewer with a customized dashboard with properties of file management, file loading & entity properties, markups, and database fetching for accurate project management. The client needed to streamline project workflow, design edits, and auditing across various entities to verify modifications in 3D model designs. 

The client needed real-time AWS server storage to fetch accurate project details, data processing, and design workflow with edit notifications, error handling, and specific markups in the design models. Accounting for the less-than-optimal conditions, the client also needed utter intelligence through a 3D viewer dashboard that can enable better and accurate project management.
