Case Study: UCSF Helen Diller Hospital achieves faster procurement and smoother site logistics with Krane

UCSF Helen Diller Hospital Project in San Francisco Improves Material Coordination and Delivery with Krane

UCSF Helen Diller Hospital, a healthcare facility, faced significant challenges in managing the complex materials and procurement process for its major expansion. The project involved disconnected tracking systems, limited visibility into vendor-supplied materials, and delays from misaligned submittals and purchase orders. This led to site congestion and a high administrative burden. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Krane to streamline their supply chain.

Krane implemented a centralized system, integrating its GC Procurement, Delivery, and Autolog modules to connect bills of materials, submittals, and purchase orders into a single source of truth. The solution provided real-time visibility and proactive coordination, saving over seven days per scope in pre-construction and resolving issues ten times faster. Krane’s platform resulted in an 18x improvement in supply chain efficiency, with reduced delays, waste, and rework for the hospital project.
