Case Study: Institution of Structural Engineers saves £40,000 a year with Distinction

Institution of Structural Engineers saves £40,000 a year and boosts adjudication capacity 300% with Distinction

The Institution of Structural Engineers, a global membership body for structural engineers, faced significant operational challenges with its manual examination process. The system was slow, expensive, and difficult to scale, costing over £40,000 annually in shipping alone. Partnering with vendor Distinction, IStructE sought a digital solution to rebuild its member experience without disrupting a critical process.

Distinction designed and built a comprehensive digital examination platform over a 12-week sprint. The solution eliminated all shipping costs, saving £40,000 a year. It also increased adjudication capacity by 300% and reduced exam marking duration by 50%. The project provided Distinction's client with a streamlined, secure digital workflow and boosted the organization's confidence in further digital innovation.
