About Civil Seven

A Dutch civil engineering firm behind major transport infrastructure

Civil Seven, a Netherlands-based civil engineering firm, specializes in designing, drawing, and calculating models for underground and public transport infrastructure, including the prestigious €380 million A9 tunnel project in Amsterdam.

Challenge to solution

Five infrastructure pressures, and what Celoxis changed

Operating within the highly competitive civil engineering industry, Civil Seven faces unique project management challenges.

  1. Before

    Strict Deadlines and High Stakes

    Civil engineering projects run on strict deadlines where the stakes for missing one are high.

    After with Celoxis

    Reduced Planning Time

    Civil Seven set up a complex project schedule in just one week.

  2. Before

    Frequent Updates and Information Tracking

    Keeping project information current across every stakeholder was a constant, manual effort.

    After with Celoxis

    Centralized Project Visibility

    Celoxis' dashboards and reports highlight project risks, enabling informed resourcing and scheduling decisions.

  3. Before

    Team Coordination Across Stakeholders

    Coordinating designers, engineers and clients across a project the scale of the A9 tunnel required constant alignment.

    After with Celoxis

    Improved Client Satisfaction

    Streamlined workflows and clearer communication strengthened client relationships.

  4. Before

    Multiple Interdependent Tasks

    Managing dependent tasks across design, drawing and calculation phases added complexity to every project.

    After with Celoxis

    Streamlined Workflows

    Standardized processes replaced ad hoc coordination across design, drawing and calculation phases.

  5. Before

    Risk Identification and Mitigation

    Identifying and mitigating risk across interdependent infrastructure projects demanded reliable, current data.

    After with Celoxis

    Data-Driven Decision Making

    Celoxis' dashboards and reports highlight risks early, enabling informed decisions on resourcing and scheduling.

Before Celoxis

The issues prior to Celoxis

Before adopting Celoxis, Civil Seven relied on a combination of internal tools, spreadsheets, and basic project management software provided by clients.

This approach led to several challenges spanning information sharing, manual processes, tool limitations, and communication.

What was breaking

  • Information Silos Project data was spread across emails, spreadsheets, and client software, with no single source of truth.
  • Manual Processes Task assignment, dependency tracking, and completion monitoring were manual, time-consuming, and error-prone.
  • Tool Limitations Client-provided tools weren't built for the complexity of Civil Seven's own infrastructure projects.
  • Communication Challenges Disconnected tools made it harder to keep every stakeholder aligned.

Celoxis gives you the opportunity to let everybody know what they're doing, show them what the schedule is, and meet their deadlines on time.
