Swiss construction company Holzbau Bühlmann has integrated the Timly software solution into its business to enhance its material management system.  

This move is set to transform the way the company tracks its machines and inventory. 

Holzbau Bühlmann, facing the limitations of Excel spreadsheets for material management, sought an advanced solution to accurately track its material assets.

With the implementation of Timly and its QR code labels, the company was able to take inventory of its entire equipment within just a few days. 

Every piece of equipment and asset is now listed on the Timly platform, which is accessible with a QR code scan.  

This is said to have eased the materials tracking process for the company.   

Holzbau Bühlmann foreman Jan Keller said: “We now have a complete overview of our equipment fleet. 

“Before Timly, we often lost track of our machines. No one knew where they were or who was using them, leading to unnecessary purchases and costs.” 

Construction sites are now provided with digital folders that consolidate resources, usage data, and detailed reports. 

This enables monitoring of equipment usage and ensuring that tools are ready and in prime condition for field teams. 

“From the simplest machine to specialised equipment, as well as inventory and tools, everything is now tracked and accessible in real-time,” said the company.  

The mobile accessibility of Timly has been highlighted as a major benefit for the company.  

It allows teams to manage equipment on the move or directly on-site via smartphones, simplifying daily operations.  

The integrated ticketing system within Timly also facilitates the reporting and tracking of defects or damages, ensuring swift and structured resolution of any issues on job sites.
