Structurer le planning chantier pour mieux construire

Basée à Bruxelles, Louis de Waele est une entreprise générale de construction spécialisée dans les logements et les bâtiments tertiaires. Pour améliorer sa performance sur le terrain, l’entreprise mise sur une approche Lean et sur des outils digitaux comme Teamoty Scheduling. 

Responsable du planning en études et en exécution, Erick Lequeue accompagne les équipes chantiers au quotidien. Cela fait plus de deux ans maintenant qu’il utilise Teamoty Scheduling, et pour lui, la solution s’est imposée comme un véritable levier de fluidité et de structuration des chantiers. 

Pourquoi passer sur une solution digitale pour le planning ? 

« Avant, on travaillait avec des plannings Excel, mais cela devenait trop compliqué, peu lisible surtout sur des projets complexes en site occupé. Modifier une séquence prenait des heures. On a vite compris qu’un outil adapté apporterait une réelle plus-value aux projets », explique Erick. 

Après une première expérience décevante avec une autre solution, c’est par recommandation qu’il découvre Teamoty. « Dès le premier projet, on a vu le gain potentiel. L’équipe chantier a tout de suite accroché, le client aussi. » 

Une solution qui structure la réflexion 

Ce qu’apprécie particulièrement Erick Lequeue, c’est que Teamoty a été pensé par des professionnels du chantier. 

 « La logique de l’outil pousse à construire le planning étape par étape : création des zones, des séquences, puis enchaînements. Une fois qu’on comprend cette structure, c’est très intuitif. » 

Teamoty devient ainsi bien plus qu’un logiciel : « Il incite à la bonne méthode, celle qu’on doit appliquer avec les équipes. C’est une vraie force. » 

Des bénéfices concrets sur le terrain 

  • Gain de temps par rapport à Excel pour les modifications quotidiennes 
  • Meilleure collaboration entre les équipes et les sous-traitants autour des séquences 
  • Visibilité partagée sur les projets en plusieurs phases 
  • Tranquillité d’exécution : chacun comprend pourquoi on avance comme on le fait 

      Erick souligne aussi l’intérêt du pointage régulier par les équipes terrain : 

       « Ils le font eux-mêmes, sans que j’aie besoin de repasser chaque semaine. » 

      Des cas d’usage parlants 

      Sur un chantier en site occupé, comprenant 80 appartements, Teamoty a permis de planifier avec précision chaque intervention. 

       « Mon collègue envoyait des invitations aux occupants en s’appuyant sur le planning géotemporel. Impossible à faire avec Excel. » 

      Un autre exemple : 

       « Sur un chantier en 3 phases, le planning géotemporel permet d’avoir une vue globale et de mieux faire comprendre aux équipes l’impact d’un retard dans une séquence. » 

      Un outil devenu un réflexe 

      Convaincu par les résultats, Erick a généralisé l’usage de Teamoty dans son entreprise. 

       « On a signé pour des licences à l’année. Même en phase d’appel d’offres, je l’utilise pour montrer notre façon de travailler. » 

      L’usage de la solution s’étend donc à divers typologies de projets, peu importe leur taille, ce qui compte c’est la méthode acquise. 

      Son conseil aux nouveaux utilisateurs 

      « Bien préparer son projet en amont : encoder les tâches, les zones, construire la logique de planning dès le début. Cela évite les ajustements lourds en cours de chantier. » 

      En résumé 

      Pour Louis de Waele, Teamoty Scheduling est bien plus qu’un logiciel de planification. C’est un outil structurant, pensé pour le terrain, qui facilite la vie des équipes et permet d’optimiser les projets complexes.

      Teamoty, a specialist in the digitalisation of construction projects, is raising €3 million to expand on the French and European markets.

      Paris, 27 September 2022 – Teamoty, a pioneer in the digitalisation of the supply chain for construction projects, has raised €3 million to accelerate the marketing of its software suite on the French and European markets. LBO France, a multi-specialist investment platform, is leading the round through NewStone, its impact fund dedicated to Proptech, together with Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement.

      Teamoty is raising funds

      A new player in the sector for greater efficiency and positive impact on construction sites Founded in 2018, Teamoty has developed a software suite capable of digitising site logistics and thus enabling construction professionals to better control costs and deadline management, to improve project productivity, and to reduce the environmental footprint of sites that are very high CO2 and waste emitters. Teamoty’s solutions meet an environmental challenge and have a particularly positive impact by limiting the number of deliveries, drastically reducing waste and promoting better recycling by optimising sorting management.

       

      In the construction sector, nearly 80% of projects are delivered late or end up over budget due to management tools that are not adapted to the complexity of the sites. To overcome this problem, Teamoty was one of the first in France to use Lean Construction techniques, which optimise the management of construction sites using collaborative management tools.

       

      This approach has already convinced more than 100 construction companies, including major players such as Bouygues and Spie Batignolles in France and BPC Group in Belgium. Already translated into 5 languages and tested in more than 11 countries by more than 5,000 users, the software suite is now ready for international deployment.

      A digital offer to support the global transformation of the construction sector and to improve the attractiveness of the profession to young people

      A software suite 100% dedicated to the planning and logistics of construction sites, Teamoty is not a simple digitalization solution, it also helps companies in the sector to transform themselves in a more global and sustainable way. Its solutions, which include two modules published in Saas mode, cover both upstream planning and real-time monitoring of the site, as well as logistics via supply management. They enable each of the trades to be coordinated in real time, to change the way they work together and ultimately to improve the performance of the sites. The aim is to create value and save resources: build faster, better and at lower cost. With this new tool, a real transformation of the sector is underway.

      Furthermore, solutions such as those offered by Teamoty actively contribute to improving the image and attractiveness of a sector that is still poorly digitalised and still suffers from a lack of manpower and recruitment difficulties, particularly among young people.

      Deployment and expansion strategy of the offer in Europe. With this first round of financing, Teamoty’s strategy is to continue to develop and support the transformation of the sector. The support of LBO France, Rise PropTech Fund and BTP Capital Investissement will enable the company to accelerate its commercial development in France and Europe and to continue to enhance its software suite. This strategy includes the rapid and significant recruitment of new skills.

      The market on which Teamoty is positioned is developing rapidly due to the awareness of the players in the ecosystem and the regulatory requirements. The objective is to anchor its offer to various clients in new countries and to allow the use of the software suite on all types of projects, in new construction as well as in rehabilitation, for housing as well as for offices, and in the context of public works or civil engineering.

      Fabien Font, Co-founder and CEO of Teamoty, says: “Over the past 3 years, we have proven that the way projects are planned and organised should and can change. With the help of our shareholders, we will be able to deploy our solutions more widely in Europe and accelerate their commercialisation.Our strategy is completely in line with the environmental challenges that are driving the construction industry to optimise resources on site while improving productivity and efficiency in the construction process.” Stéphanie Casciola, Managing Director of LBO France and in charge of the real estate and proptech business, said:

      “With Teamoty, we are making our third investment in NewStone, our impact fund dedicated to Proptech. After ZePlug in the energy transition and Hosman in digital transactions, Teamoty addresses a key issue in the construction industry by enabling better resource tracking and supply chain optimisation. LBO France will mobilise all of its experience in impact and its broad knowledge of the real estate sector to accelerate the development of Teamoty, a promising investment that allows us to project ourselves into a sustainable future..” [with Rise Proptech Fund and BTP Capital investissement]

      Laura Panquet, Protech’s Investment Director, said: “We are particularly pleased to be leading this financing round and to support Teamoty in a new phase of growth. Through the development of its solution, Teamoty has the potential to bring about a real change in the way construction projects and site logistics are approached.”

      This operation was carried out with the assistance of Didier BERNARD of RAINMAKERS & Partners and Céline Tremblais of LEGAL INSIGHT.
