Case Study: Metrolinx achieves 80% faster report reviews and C$87,100 annual savings with Oracle Aconex

Metrolinx accelerates productivity across transportation projects

Metrolinx, Ontario’s regional transportation agency, manages dozens of road and rail projects ranging from C$8M to C$100M, including major transit hubs and parking structures. Before adopting a single platform, Metrolinx struggled with manual Excel-based tracking, multiple document versions, poor transparency into workflows and communications, and inconsistent processes across projects.

By implementing Aconex, Metrolinx gained instant access to documents, powerful search and metadata-driven reporting, and configurable workflows aligned to contractual deadlines—standardizing execution across projects. The results: project report reviews dropped from 30 minutes to under five (an 80% reduction), shop drawing review cycles shortened from 10 to 8 days, and automated tracking saved C$45,500 in head-count costs plus C$41,600 annually by eliminating time spent searching for documents.
