Case Study: Smith Bros & Wilson Ltd achieves seamless remote collaboration and improved productivity with Vibe

Smith Bros & Wilson Ltd - Customer Case Study

Smith Bros & Wilson Ltd, a Vancouver construction management firm, needed a way to collaborate remotely during the COVID‑19 pandemic while overcoming entrenched pen‑and‑paper habits and widely varying tech skills on project teams. Project manager Jonathan Wong evaluated options and selected Vibe’s interactive digital whiteboard (the Vibe board) as a modern, easy‑to‑use, and cost‑effective alternative to older SMART Boards and the pricier Microsoft Surface Hub.

Vibe supplied boards and software that were integrated with Microsoft Teams, Procore and Bluebeam and rolled out with beginner and advanced playbooks to speed adoption. The Vibe solution enabled real‑time annotation, infinite‑canvas planning for site logistics, BIM screen mirroring, and cloud‑saved session sharing for client meetings—improving preparation, collaboration and handoffs. Smith Bros & Wilson Ltd also highlighted Vibe’s value for money (three Vibe boards for the price of one Surface Hub) and noticeably smoother team and client communication.
