Case Study: Vattenfall reduces wind farm inspection admin and risk with Papertrail

How they have streamlined and improved the inspection process

Vattenfall, a major energy company, faced a significant administrative challenge at its Pen y Cymoedd onshore wind farm. The process of recording and managing inspections for the site, medical equipment, and worker PPE was overly reliant on spreadsheets and manual data entry, consuming many days each month and creating a high risk for errors. To address this, they turned to the inspection tracking platform Papertrail.

By implementing Papertrail's customized app, Vattenfall streamlined its data capture, making it quicker and more accurate. The solution delivered phenomenal time savings, reducing a week's worth of administration to a single day. For PPE inspections alone, the process was cut from over two weeks to just a day and a half. Papertrail also improved report quality and enabled better prioritization of repair work, significantly reducing operational risk and cost.
