Scentre Group safety team has reduced administrative time by 75%
Scentre Group, operator of the pre-eminent portfolio of shopping centers in Australia and New Zealand, identified the need to move from a document management platform to a holistic information management system.
“Because Aconex is flexible and configurable we are able to track and implement lessons learned from project to project.”
Business challenges
- Most efficiently managing processes across a portfolio of projects
- Manage handover to internal customers in a manner to enable the best ongoing operations of Scentre Group properties

Results
- Proven industry specific platform which provides cross project views and standardization
- Ability to plan for handover from the beginning of design, enabling complete and accurate handover information
- Flexible field application to support safety inspections
- Project-wide systems with equal access by all organizations and secure information sharing
- Handover preparation time has been reduced to practically nothing by tagging all documents and drawings up front within Aconex
- The 2-3 months of overlapping partnership between Construction and Facilities Management teams has been eliminated due to significantly more complete handover material
- Safety team has reduced administrative time by 75%, enabling them to spend that time on training, culture and implementing best practices
- Managing safety documentation through Aconex workflows, has enabled more people to be involved in the reviews and there has been an improvement in the quality of the documentation as a result
- Safety documentation is more complete and more accessible by all of the parties that need it
- There has been an 80% reduction in hard copy storage of safety material
