How did Rexer company save over 140,000 PLN annually?
Rexer is a rapidly growing general contractor for sanitary installations. The engineering team consists of 22 people and manages over 10 projects simultaneously. The company collaborates with around 30 subcontractors at various stages of the projects. Rexer places a strong emphasis on efficiency, quality, and timely project completion. To achieve this goal, the company invests in modern IT solutions, including the Hustro app.
Challenges and problems to solve
Rexer was looking for a tool to facilitate regular and accurate documentation of the progress of work, essential elements for ongoing coordination and planning of activities on the construction site, as well as to protect the company’s interests in the future.
App testing
- Starting collaboration with testing: Rexer began its cooperation with Hustro from the testing phase, implementing the app on three pilot projects. The goal was to test the functionality, performance, and user-friendliness of the app.
- Scope of functions: Hustro offers features for managing documentation, team communication, and tools for tracking work progress. The app allows easy adding, editing, and sharing of large industry drawings files.
- Performance and user-friendliness: Rexer users appreciated the smooth operation of the app and its intuitive interface, which allowed for a quick adaptation to the new tool.
- Handling large industry drawing files: Hustro proved effective in handling large industry drawing files, enabling the continuous updating and sharing of detailed project plans.
„To put it briefly: I recommend it! One of the few apps we use every day – and enjoy using.”
Application implementation
- First 3 projects – after successful testing on three projects, the management of Rexer decided to fully implement the Hustro app across all ongoing projects.
- Implementation on all projects – all new and existing projects were transferred to the Hustro app. The entire team, including 22 people, started using the app on a daily basis.
- Ongoing support for new team members – Hustro provides regular training and technical support, which facilitates the integration of new team members and their quick adaptation to working with the app.
Calculation of savings and return on investment
To calculate the return on investment (ROI) of the software for 22 users, we adopted the following assumptions.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Number of users | 22 |
| License price per user | 149 PLN / month |
| Number of projects | 10 |
| Average number of reports per month per project | 4 |
| Average number of defects per project | 70 |
| Average labour cost | 70 PLN / hour |
| Process | Without the app | With Hustro | Annual savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to prepare one report | 4 hours 4 h × 4 reports × 10 projects × 12 months = 1,920 h | 3 minutes 0.05 h × 4 reports × 10 projects × 12 months = 24 h | 1,896 hours |
| Process | Without the app | With Hustro | Annual savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to report one defect | 10 minutes 70 defects × 0.167 h × 10 projects = 116.9 h | 30 seconds 70 defects × 0.0083 h × 10 projects = 5.81 h | 111.09 hours |
| Item | Calculation | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Total time saved | 1,896 h + 111.09 h | 2,007.09 hours |
| Annual value of savings | 2,007.09 h × 70 PLN | 140,496 PLN |
| Annual license cost | 22 users × 149 PLN × 12 months | 39,336 PLN |
| ROI | (140,496 PLN − 39,336 PLN) / 39,336 PLN × 100% | 257.17% |
