INTRODUCTION

With multi billion dollars valued in booked projects, HAPM has leveraged on digital technology to better manage and monitor their projects. To ensure the efficiency and efficacy of project implementation, HAPM has come up with  an innovative and interactive solution known as the BESTRACK SYSTEM.

Imagine sitting thousands of kilometres away and still being able to access detailed visibility in information from  a project site; BESTRACK makes this possible. BESTRACK allows users to track and monitor the current progress status of projects on site instantly, without having to be physically present, all at the fingertips of users through their mobile devices.

BESTRACK utilizes Cloud Computing technology which streamlines connectivity, data collection, data sharing, data harness, data storing, communicative information into an integrated Data Warehouse or Big data. BESTRACK disseminates information such as schedule vs actual progress percentage, numbers of resources on site, schedule performance index, projected completion date, contractor performance speed, project financial status, project variance and other vital information for various stakeholders to access to enable informed decision making.

Furthermore, BESTRACK is unique compared to other digital construction tools available in the market due to the application of RMPS which incorporates both Project Management Lifecycle and Project Information Modelling into its digital framework, a first of its kind.  The digital framework amongst others includes Project Initiation Phase, Project Planning Phase, Project Execution & Implementation Phase, Project Monitoring & Controlling and Project Closure.

SMART COMMUNICATION

Conventionally, the way data is communicated is by passing information from one party to another. This mode however, causes glitches and irregularity to end receivers. BESTRACK eliminates this issue by allowing access of the same data information to everyone.

TIME EFFICIENCY 

Traditionally, users have had to travel a great distance to obtain data information of progress on site. This has caused inefficiency in the way the data is transmitted to end receivers, especially for sites located far away. BESTRACK has information readily available at users’ fingertips, thus eliminating travel time expenditure and using it instead to focus on more crucial tasks at hand.

COST-EFFECTIVE

BESTRACK enables users to gain “access” to the project site without being physically present. Hence, saving on travel costs can translate into long-term cost saving in the future.

Additionally, BESTRACK utilises Smart Algorithm Ciphering and Autonomous Intelligence (AuI) Driven framework which harnesses all raw Big Data information, translating it into an interactive data visualization dashboard. With this, stakeholders can yet again make informed decisions for smart long-term cost savings and more holistic managerial approaches.

BESTRACK & POST COVID-19

The BESTRACK innovation is timely in the wake of the global Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The pandemic enforced lockdowns on many day-to-day operations imposing a cultural and organizational shift to embrace digital transformation. HAPM has actively played its role, as part of a unified effort to combat the spread of Covid-19 through the introduction of BESTRACK. A digital platform within the reach of fingertips, BESTRACK System enables users to continuously perform tasks seamlessly while working from home to safeguard their safety and health.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, BESTRACK helps to improve the process of delivery and operation of a built environment. In general terms,  it translates into making the delivery, operation and built environment safer, more efficient and more collaborative. Through BESTRACK, organisations can upscale their operation domain to achieve substantial milestone targets. With centralised Big Data information readily available, stakeholders can make informed decisions for long-term cost savings and holistic managerial approaches to ensure a greater outcome at every stage of a project lifecycle.
