Colas is first to trial new AI scheduling solution

Artificial intelligence is transforming our world, and for businesses ready to embrace change, it promises incredible potential. For Luke Maxwell, the Data and Digital Innovation Manager at Colas, AI can give the company a real competitive edge – a key reason why Colas is the first company to trial a new version of our Triopsis Schedule Smart system.

“Being innovative is really important for Colas,” says Luke, seeing it as an important differentiator for the company. “We’re always looking at how we can bring in more artificial intelligence and data-driven decision making. We need to make sure we’re analysing all the data we obtain, learning from it, building insights and using that to move forward.”

As an AI-driven solution, Schedule Smart helps businesses like Colas take advantage of these advances in technology. It’s unique in the marketplace, and the feedback Colas are supplying as they trial the new version is helping us make it even better.

“When Triopsis introduced us to Schedule Smart, they really listened to what our needs were,” says Luke. “They explained they had a unique, fully-developed product and wanted to work with organisations who could test it, give feedback, and help them enhance the solution even further.”

The result is our proof of concept project, with both companies working to maximise the potential of this AI-driven technology. “It very much feels like we’re working together as one,” says Luke, “and our client is really over the moon with it.”

Being a proof of concept, there remains much work to be done, but both Colas and ourselves are delighted with the progress we’re making. And Luke is clear that being the first company to trial the new Schedule Smart is all part of helping Colas evolve.
