The Cloud-based solution will enable EKFB to monitor, manage and analyse the status of inventory in real-time, as well as track subcontractors’ vehicles.

It is expected that the solution will allow EKFB to send real-time updates to project promoter High Speed Two Limited (HS2 Ltd.), reduce potential delays, and streamline vehicle movements from construction sites.

The system leverages Totalmobile’s Mobilise mobile workforce management application and Trimble’s MAPS platform.

EKFB is a joint venture (JV) firm appointed by HS2 to carry out civil engineering works on an 80km section of the high-speed rail link between the Chiltern Tunnel and Long Itchington.
