KNX Design and Planning: Improve Productivity and …

Are you ‘wasting’ time with inefficient KNX planning, project management and documentation procedures?

Every single minute wasted in the day-to-day operations of your KNX business will hurt your companies revenue.

Inefficiencies in workflow and processes ⁠— from the selling phase through to commissioning and final project reporting, can and will affect your ROI for every KNX project you install.

It’s been proven many times that the established processes and workflow systems currently being used in the KNX industry (such as the design and planning of complex KNX systems using outdated methods like excel spreadsheets, microsoft word, etc.) are extremely time-consuming for the installer.

The use of confusing planning and documentation processes during any KNX installation can also lead to a customer being:

  • confused about their KNX installation.
  • unable to operate all functions of their KNX systems correctly due to a lack of understanding about their system.
  • disappointed or dissatisfied with the end result.

 

Electrical Contractors Who Specialize in KNX Systems Need Specialized KNX Solutions

 

 

Trying to design, sell, plan and manage complex KNX systems using a combination of different applications such as word documents and excel spreadsheets is confusing for both installer and customer.

When it comes to KNX installations and retrofits, our customers are looking for greater functionality, ease-of-use and robust integration options.

KNX job details can often seem very vague when trying to convey all of the features and functions of a KNX system to a customer, using complicated spreadsheets and basic word documents.

 

And the chance of human error with manual data entry is extremely high when trying to input and organize all of the required information for any KNX system integration, using the current outdated methods of KNX documentation.

Also, if changes or amendments are made to the initial KNX plan for whatever reason, installers and integrators need to be able to quickly and accurately adjust the details — to ensure all necessary parts are ordered and correct billing is invoiced for the project.

Poor project design and lack of project management affects different industries negatively in many different ways.

However, efficient project design and management has proven to have the opposite effect.

Proper project, design, planning and management is essential for your KNX business because it ensures proper expectations are set around exactly what can be delivered, by when, and for how much.

Those who work on more complex and technical projects such as KNX installations and integrations, require streamlined workflows and efficient project management systems to ensure profitability is maximized during every stage of a KNX installation.

Effective project design, planning and management has always been one of the key factors in determining a successful outcome for any type of project in every industry — particularly those which deal with KNX and smart-home technologies.

When you choose to implement better design, planning and project management processes for your KNX business (such as the use of specialized project management software for the KNX industry), you will undoubtedly see better results.
