Success Story

Coppel - BIM Implementation for Retail Industry

Coppel - BIM Implementation for Retail Industry

Customer challenge

Coppel is a nationwide department store in México, based in Culiacan, Sinaloa. By 2019, the company had more than 500 opened stores nationwide. Due to the fast-paced growth, the customer needed to expand their construction services in house. A rapid evolution of BIM and interoffice collaboration in the last five years has been a steep learning curve for many in the industry. By early 2019, Coppel needed to prepare for a new technology shift that would require some outside expertise.

Project goals

While Coppel had the BIM 360 platform at that time, there were some growing pains regarding the application of it. They did not have the in-house expertise or required network infrastructure on the front-end to facilitate the transition from communication based on a wide-area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN). Coppel engaged to develop and provide an enterprise-wide transition to BIM methodology.

Solution

The Coppel team and Compucad reviewed Coppel’s applications and processes and then developed a plan to scale the company’s network to the cloud. Coppel took a project-by-project approach, training individual project teams, rather than the entire office. During this two-week implementation, Coppel’s technical experts stepped through tools and techniques within the BIM 360 platform that team members could then easily apply to their specific projects, once they returned to their desks.

Business outcome

Since engaging Compucad to support them, Coppel has grown from having a single project on the BIM360 platform to several. According to Coppel, “Our people are meeting benchmarks on a timely basis, and we’re seeing more engagement. For example, our project managers are typically platform-agnostic, but in the last couple of years, they have begun to ask whether they should use BIM 360. To me, that awareness shows that they understand the potential advantages.”

Conclusion

The Coppel team agreed upon a project-based approach because it allows the teams to truly hit the ground running. This approach is the best way to build acceptance and therefore encourage adoption and address the unique circumstances of a specific project.
