Case Study: Balfour Beatty improves equipment visibility and reduces supply chain errors with Spartan Solutions' PHALANX mobile apps

Balfour Beatty manages 30,000 items across 15 depots with Spartan Solutions

Balfour Beatty faced challenges with its supply chain for equipment and materials, which relied on error-prone paper processes. This traditional system led to stock inaccuracies, administrative delays, and difficulties in tracking assets. To solve this, Balfour Beatty selected Spartan Solutions and its PHALANX mobile application suite to streamline equipment logistics and improve safety.

Spartan Solutions implemented its integrated PHALANX mobile apps to replace all manual paperwork. The solution used RFID and barcode scanning on wireless devices to manage equipment picking, delivery, and returns, providing real-time updates to back-office systems. This eliminated errors and delays, significantly improved equipment visibility and stock accuracy, reduced capital expenditure, and freed up staff to improve operational efficiency across Balfour Beatty's UK depot network.
