Case Study: Zutari automates structural report writing with Speckle

Zutari saves 96.7% of report-writing time with Speckle

Zutari, an infrastructure engineering and advisory practice, faced an immense challenge when they were given only two months to complete a structural design review that had previously taken six years. The project involved a highly complex 70,000-element model, and their workflow was drowning in data chaos from overwhelming file versions, broken links, and error-prone manual data extraction. To handle this complexity, they turned to the vendor Speckle and its platform to boost their existing tool stack.

Using Speckle as a central data hub, Zutari automated their workflow. They sent their model to Speckle and used its Automate function to run Python scripts that classified elements, which then fed clean data directly into Excel for reporting. This Speckle-powered solution saved 96.7% of the time compared to the previous method, eliminating rework and allowing the team to complete the project in two months. The results included more accurate reports, easier collaboration, and a foundation for further digital transformation.
