PIC Group of Companies (Vitro-CAD)

2021: Introduction of Vitro-CAD

The company PEAK is not only the largest developer, Russia but also a system-forming organization that actively participates construction in facilities under the Housing Renovation Program. Moscow

Implementation objectives

Among the main tasks that PIK set itself was to solve the problems associated with the long wait for the conversion of PDF documents, the loss of time for signing a large amount of documentation and the lack of a centralized storage of signed files. Expectations for the implementation of Vitro-CAD were to effectively sign the documentation, store signed files, and simplify the transfer of PDF documents to the customer.

Implementation Process Description

The introduction of Vitro-CAD began with a thorough assessment and study of the work of third-party software. Since the process of signing and certifying PDF documents was complex, a detailed study of the mechanisms of Adobe Acrobat was required. At the next stage, the PIK team was looking for alternative solutions to optimize PDF documents, since the Moscow Renovation Fund (MFR) did not accept files larger than 200 MB.

The development of its own server application made it possible to automate the process of preparing PDF documents, eliminating the need for users to do this task on their own. After successful testing and integration of the application into the Vitro-CAD system, the process of signing documentation began to take place in automatic mode, which greatly simplified the work of employees.

Implementation results

The results of the Vitro-CAD implementation have been impressive. The speed of preparation for the transfer of documentation from designers to customers has increased by 50%. If earlier the signing of one section took from 5 to 20 minutes, now this process has accelerated significantly. On average, about 400 sets of working documentation are produced per month, and thanks to the new approach, it was possible to reduce signing costs by almost half, freeing up more than 1000 working hours a month. This made it possible to abandon manual signing through third-party software, greatly simplifying and speeding up the entire process.
