Onsite Case Study – Shivam Developers - Onsite Teams: Construction Management Software

"Onsite transformed how we

manage materials and track progress"

-Shivam Developers, Pune

Background

Shivam Developers, a Pune-based construction firm founded in 2012, specializes in industrial and residential projects across maharashtra. Initially focused on land development—contouring, excavation, leveling, pitching—they expanded into turnkey construction services in 2016, delivering over ten medium-to-large-scale industrial sheds and office buildings ranging from 19,000 sq ft to 68,000 sq ft sites . To streamline their operations, reduce material waste, and accelerate project timelines, Shivam Developers adopted Onsite’s construction management platform, concentrating on its Material Management and Task Progress Tracking modules.

Challenge

Inefficient Material Tracking

Materials were procured in bulk (e.g., ready-mix concrete grades M10–M40, structural steel) with limited

visibility into on-site consumption

Inventory discrepancies led to over-ordering (up to 12% excess) and occasional job delays waiting for replenishment.

Manual Progress Reporting

Supervisors logged daily task updates on paper, then collated them into spreadsheets.

This process consumed 6–8 hours per week and introduced data-entry errors, making it hard to pinpoint

schedule slippages in real-time.

Solution

Onsite implemented two core modules for Shivam Developers

Module

Key Capabilities

Material Management

Real-time inventory dashboards; automated reordering alerts, batch-level tracking

Task Progress Tracking

Mobile field updates; Gantt-style dashboards, alerting on slippages

Material Management Solution

Batch-level Visibility: Each concrete pour (e.g., M25 batches for a 50,000 sq ft industrial shed)

was scanned via QR codes. Onsite logged volumes used versus planned, flagging variances above 5 %.

Automated Alerts: When stock dipped below reorder thresholds, Onsite alerted procurement,

eliminating emergency orders.

Waste Reduction: By reconciling planned versus actual usage daily, Shivam Developers cut

material over-consumption by 14%.

Progress & Task Management Solution

Mobile Check-ins: Field engineers updated task status from smartphones.

Progress on formwork, reinforcement, and finishing phases synced instantly.

Proactive Notifications: When a critical-path activity lagged by more than 2 days,

Onsite sent SMS/email alerts to stakeholders.

Real-Time Dashboards: Project managers viewed live Gantt charts, highlighting tasks behind schedule.

Cost Savings: By cutting material over-runs from 12% to 2%, Shivam Developers saved approximately ₹1.2 million on a

typical ₹10 million project.

Onsite transformed how we manage materials and track progress. Our site teams now spend less time on paperwork and more on building. The real-time alerts and dashboards keep us ahead of issues, helping us deliver high-quality projects
