The Challenge:

Colantonio, like many construction companies, found themselves jumping between multiple products and environments, leading to a cumbersome user experience, inefficient navigation, and disjointed communication. As an industry leader in the construction industry with numerous job locations, seamless communication and collaboration were crucial for delivering high-quality services.

The organization needed a solution that would improve team interaction, streamline document management, and boost employee engagement. 

The Solution:

Aerie addressed these challenges by conducting workshops to identify user needs and align the design with Colantonio’s priorities and branding. We implemented a SharePoint Hub Site using a combination of standard and custom webparts, resulting in a central hub tailored to the needs of various departments. The new platform facilitated easy access to information, enhanced collaboration among teams, and connected employees across different sites. 

To improve efficiency within their organization, we developed automation flows to help team members quickly and easily set up Project sites. This automation sets up sites, default folder structures, Teams and Channels in Microsoft Teams all with the click of a button! 

Key Features

  • Improved Communication: The updated intranet provided a unified communication channel, allowing for easy sharing of updates, upcoming projects and bids, news, announcements, events and a custom developed Lesson’s Learned application ensuring consistent information flow across all departments. 
  • Enhanced Collaboration: With features like People Directory and Knowledge Search Center, teams could collaborate on projects and access necessary documents efficiently, minimizing delays. 
  • Increased Employee Engagement: The intuitive interface and interactive elements fostered a sense of community, enhancing employee engagement and satisfaction.  The inclusion of our ShoutOut app takes things one step further, allowing team members from across the organization to recognize others publicly for a job well done! 
  • Efficient Document Management: A centralized document repository improved information accessibility, reducing time spent searching for files and enhancing productivity.  The creation and automation of default folder structures allows for consistency between projects, further improving searchability.
