Godrej
Transforming Engineering Management with Wrench SmartProject
The Godrej Group is a diversified Indian conglomerate with operations across 14 industries and a presence in major global markets. Founded in 1897 with the manufacture of high-quality locks, its flagship company, Godrej & Boyce, has since expanded into home appliances, institutional solutions, and industrial products, including large-scale equipment for EPC projects.
The Challenge
Godrej, a global engineering and manufacturing leader, struggled with outdated, manual processes:
- Data inefficiencies caused by reliance on folders and emails, leading to lost files, accidental deletions, and no revision control.
- No access control, making sensitive information difficult to secure.
- Manual ISO audits and QMS enforcement, heavily dependent on hard copies.
- No integrated solution, forcing teams to work in silos.
These issues slowed project delivery, weakened compliance, and added unnecessary costs.
The Turning Point
To take control of engineering data and improve efficiency, Godrej turned to Wrench SmartProject as a centralized digital platform.
The Solution
- Full Traceability & Control: Every project document was tracked, versioned, and secured with role-based access.
- Smarter Engineering Management: Integrated workflows improved efficiency across drawings, reviews, and approvals.
- Faster Payments & Cash Flow: Quicker documentation turnaround accelerated client approvals and payment realization.
- Reusable Knowledge: Standardized information capture and retrieval reduced duplication and boosted consistency.
“We are finding the following features of WRENCH SmartProject extremely useful: Workflow Process, Flexible Folder structure, Revision & Version Control, QMS enforcement.”
The Results
- 30–50% faster deliverable lifecycles, from internal review to client submission and resubmission.
- 50% less time spent reporting status to both internal teams and clients.
- 30% overall savings in time and cost by digitizing document and drawing management.
By implementing Wrench SmartProject, Godrej not only streamlined engineering management but also delivered measurable cost savings and faster project execution—strengthening its competitive edge in the global market.
