In today’s fast-paced business environment, managing contracts efficiently is more crucial than ever, especially for large enterprises that handle thousands of contracts across various locations and systems. The challenge of maintaining operational efficiency becomes even more daunting as companies expand and acquire new entities, often leading to fragmented systems and inconsistent data management practices.

This blog delves into how one of the largest privately held installation and facilities services companies in the U.S. tackled these challenges head-on by embracing GenAI in their contract management application. 

The Challenge: Fragmented Systems and Inefficient Processes

Imagine managing a sprawling enterprise with over 5,000 employees nationwide, each dependent on smooth operational flows to deliver exceptional services. Our client, a leader in the installation and facilities services industry, faced significant hurdles in managing contractor data due to fragmented systems scattered across various CRM tools. This fragmentation was exacerbated by recent acquisitions, which introduced even more complexity into their already convoluted systems. 

The primary challenge was clear: consolidate and streamline contractor data and modernize the contractor selection and onboarding process to enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, the client needed a robust solution that could integrate seamlessly with the systems of newly acquired companies, demanding a high degree of scalability and flexibility. 

The Solution: A Modern Approach with Microservices and GenAI

To address these multifaceted challenges, Aspire Systems proposed a revolutionary approach by developing a MACH-compliant application. This solution leverages GenAI to streamline contractor management, ensuring a user-friendly and efficient system. By re-architecting the existing legacy applications into a microservices-based architecture, the solution not only promised enhanced scalability but also ensured future adaptability—a critical consideration for a growing enterprise. 

The use of Entity Framework as the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool for handling database operations further exemplified the modern approach taken. This ORM tool facilitates efficient data management, crucial for the complex operations of our client. 

The Impressive Outcomes

The transformation brought about by the new microservices architecture and the integration of GenAI had immediate and significant benefits: 

  • Reduced Development Time: The time required to build API components was drastically reduced, boosting productivity across the board. 
  • Enhanced Code Quality: Consistency in code quality was achieved with improved results from SonarQube inspections, thanks to the standardization brought by GenAI. 
  • Increased Code Coverage: By integrating unit tests through GenAI, the system not only became more robust but also more reliable. 
  • Cost Efficiency: Remarkably, the project costs were slashed by up to 40%, demonstrating not only the effectiveness of the solution but also its efficiency. 

Why This Matters?

The case study of this leading installation and facilities services company exemplifies the transformative power of digital innovation in traditional business operations. By integrating advanced technologies like GenAI and adopting a microservices architecture, companies can not only solve complex operational problems but also achieve remarkable improvements in efficiency and cost reduction.
