Atlas 10 Pavement Performance Consulting disrupts the traditional reactive “break/fix” model for asphalt and concrete pavements. The medium through which they delivered the data to the client was once difficult to interpret, labor-intensive, and lacked scalability.

Problem

Atlas 10 Pavement Performance Consulting disrupts the traditional reactive “break/fix” model for asphalt and concrete pavements. Utilizing GPS/Geodata mapping technology, Atlas 10 offers clear and accurate identification of pavement defects while providing a proactive approach to its maintenance.

While their data collection has always been exact, the medium through which they delivered the data to the client was once difficult to interpret, labor-intensive, and lacked scalability.

Robert Lakeberg, CTO, envisioned a far more efficient system: a centralized database that could be effortlessly updated and managed at the enterprise level. Such a program allows each client to know the right treatment, at the right time, at the right place.

Although Lakeberg had a general solution in mind, he needed an agile and collaborative partner to help him refine and execute his vision. Together, Seven Hills and Atlas 10 designed and developed a web portal that centralizes data in a painless and scalable format.

“We needed help on scope and design as much as we needed help on development and that’s where you guys really helped out.”

Solution

Through a bi-weekly sprint design process and active collaboration, Atlas 10 received a tailored experience that allowed them to turn ideas into bite-sized projects to be chewed off one at a time. The result was a centralized online mapping portal to store, manage, and translate the data they collect from survey sites.

Results

  • An increase in surveys performed from < 100 per year to nearly 200 per year since the web portal’s conception.
  • An increase in repeat business due to accessibility and ability to track pavement improvements through the web portal.
  • A reduction in man-hours of approximately 50% due to streamlined data-entry.
  • Flexibility that allowed Atlas 10 to inject client-feedback into the software development without having to change the scope of the project.

“We felt really close to the project; like we could adopt, adapt, and improve as we go along.”

Technology

“We extended our reach by producing a superior product. We definitely got more sales because of it.”

The project was built using:

  • .NET
  • AngularJS
  • Entity Framework
