Real-Time Monitoring and Paperless Construction
In this episode of AEC Trailblazers: The Founders Files, meet George Smithies, a seasoned Chartered Engineer, entrepreneur, and Forbes' 30 Under 30. Hear George’s perception of the challenges of founding a company, especially after a traditional career path, which presents a straightforward journey. While following a set career path provides a clear direction, starting your own business requires constant decision-making and adaptation and the ability to learn quickly and make decisions is the inevitable bone for success.
George also dives into the significant differences between the design and construction phases and their belief that to disrupt the construction industry they needed to focus on the 90% of workers that actually work in the field- versus the 10% managing from the office. With this goal in mind, George and his team sought to create a centralized platform that integrated various technologies, identifying a gap in the market for tools specifically designed for field workers, who often lacked the necessary technology to streamline their tasks.
Creating a platform for field workers required a strategic approach. Rather than selling directly to them, the team focused on selling to those with purchasing power within construction companies. This approach ensured that the platform would be adopted and used by field workers.
Committed to this goal, in 2018, George co-founded innDex, an innovative platform that streamlines project management and enhances workforce connectivity. By integrating hardware and cloud-based software, innDex offers a comprehensive suite of tools for site inductions, access control, RAMs, toolbox talks, progress reporting, inspections, and more. The platform aims to improve efficiency, and compliance, and reduce waste in the construction industry.
