Start-to-finish materials management: WorkPacks, now integrated with AVEVA E3D Design and AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management

Posted: June 13, 2025

In today’s highly competitive construction environment, project managers, planners, and other stakeholders need tools that deliver tangible, measurable results. WorkPacks’ integration of AVEVA™ E3D Design, and AVEVA™ Enterprise Resource Management provides exactly that: a powerful, integrated solution that drives productivity, cost savings, and risk reduction on construction projects.

WorkPacks’ integration with AVEVA E3D Design and AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management solutions transforms project execution by aligning work packages, materials, and scheduling in one streamlined digital environment. This integrated approach offers multiple direct benefits:

• Improved productivity and schedule adherence: Automated synchronization of work packages, materials, and schedules reduces downtime caused by delayed deliveries, mismanaged inventory, or resource misallocations.
• Cost control and reduced material waste: Real-time material tracking and dynamic allocation reduce material handling costs, prevent excess inventory, and minimize rework due to missing or incorrect materials.
• Enhanced decision-making and risk management: With real-time data availability, decision-making is faster and more accurate. Project teams gain visibility into potential shortages or excess inventory, helping them proactively mitigate risks.
• Improved communication and collaboration: Integrated workflows eliminate the typical silos that slow down information flow. Intelligent notifications ensure stakeholders receive only critical, actionable alerts, enhancing team responsiveness without overwhelming them.

WorkPacks’ effectiveness can be measured directly through clear, tangible KPIs, including:

• Work package readiness rate: Measuring the percentage of installation work packages (IWPs) released without constraints.
• Schedule adherence: Tracking adherence to planned schedules, minimizing costly delays.
• Material handling costs: Optimized allocation and logistics handling and storage costs.
• Cost performance index (CPI): Real-time insights and proactive adjustments improves budget control.
• Constraint resolution time: The average time taken to resolve constraints identified in construction work packages (CWPs) or IWPs is tracked. Shorter times indicate better coordination between planning and material management.
• Real-time data utilization: The percentage of project decisions based on real-time data from AWP and DMA systems is measured, highlighting the system’s integration and impact on decision-making.
• Reduction in worker idle time: Workers remain productive by ensuring materials and resources are always available.

WorkPacks empowers project teams to deliver successful, profitable, and timely projects. This innovative solution, combined with the flexible compatibility of a workflow integrated into third party tools, ensures project stakeholders experience tangible benefits at every stage—from initial preplanning to final commissioning and start-up. With WorkPacks, projects not only achieve their goals faster but do so with increased transparency, efficiency, and confidence.
