Case Study: SNCF cuts on-site inspection admin burden from 20% to 1.5% with LetsBuild

SNCF cuts down on-site inspection admin burden from 20% to 1.5% by digitising reports

SNCF, France’s national railway operator, faced a tight three‑month deadline to renovate a 60 km stretch of track and relied on fast, accurate on‑site inspections to plan works. The customer’s inspection process was burdened by admin and inconsistent tracking—about 20% of on‑site time was spent on paperwork and communicating remarks—so SNCF turned to LETSBUILD’s digital on‑site inspection/reporting solution to standardise workflows and speed up coordination with the planning office.

LETSBUILD implemented a common digital platform for creating and sharing inspection reports in real time, replacing paper‑to‑Excel/Word workflows and reducing admin during inspections. As a result LETSBUILD helped SNCF cut admin time from roughly 20% to 1.5%, save an estimated 18 hours of follow‑up work per month, improve collaboration with the planning office, and complete detailed planning before the project deadline.
