Titan Environment: reports in 9 minutes, not 3 to 4 hours

Titan is North America’s fastest-growing end-to-end geosynthetics supplier, fabricator and installer. Software robots and AI took over the repeated report work. Its people made the calls.

The situation

What stood in the way.

After every site inspection, employees had to write a detailed report. Each one took 3 to 4 hours. Manual steps meant human error, which caused delays and unhappy customers. Training a new employee took several months.

Titan had grown steadily for 15+ years, and this was the bottleneck standing in the way of its next stage of growth.

Two sides of the work

The people, and the technology.

The human side

The people involved: field inspectors, report writers, new hires, and the clients waiting on the reports.

Every one of them had to trust that the technology was there to help, not replace them. Even with the executive team behind it, it would not have worked without buy-in from every person on the team. We studied how each employee worked and brought them into the process.

The AI side

  • Software robots (RPA) took over the repeated steps employees were doing by hand.
  • The decisions employees make, in the office, with customers, in the field and when entering data, were encoded into AI. It helps them make the right call.
  • AI-assisted reports replaced hours of manual writing.

How they worked together

A parallel AI-driven system ran alongside the old one, instead of replacing it overnight. Titan’s institutional knowledge was kept, and accuracy and efficiency were added.

The robots do the repeated work. The AI helps with the call. Employees stay the ones who decide.

Results

What changed.

  1. 01

    Reports in minutes

    Reports that took 3 to 4 hours now take about 9 minutes, with higher accuracy.

    Faster onboarding

    New employees are productive within a week instead of several months.

  3. 03

    Strong return

    400-500% ROI on the Phase 1 investment.

  4. 04

    New revenue

    The new speed made a rush report delivery service possible, a revenue stream that did not exist before.
