Embracing innovative technology and smarter ways of working, the HZI team currently use DataScope’s latest innovative interactive management tool, DataTouch, as an integral part of daily operation on site.
Using DataTouch on one of our touch-screen TVs, contractors plot their areas of work and highlight any potential issues, by dragging and dropping “hotspots” using a fully- interactive plan of site. Pairing our unique software with their own aerial photos of site, contractors can easily visualise and coordinate daily tasks of work, ensuring there are no clashes on site.
Site Scheduler, Robert Llewelyn, had the following to say about working with DataTouch:
“The screen has contributed to what has so far been a successfully co-ordinated project. The ability to get contractors to come up to the front in a meeting and make them mark out exactly where they will be working or areas where they have concerns allows everyone to visualise and understand how it will affect their own areas of responsibility. We have a lot of intense construction activity taking place in quite congested areas so it is critical for everyone to understand what is occurring each day and to be able to manage the interfaces accordingly.”
DataTouch has proven to be an invaluable tool in a variety of meetings on site. Robert Llewelyn goes on to describe who uses the software each day:
“20-25 people attend the daily coordination meeting from various project stakeholders – Our client’s representatives/HZI Management & Supervisors/HZI subcontractors. The report is emailed out afterwards and posted on noticeboards and so is probably seen by 100+ people.”

We offer a range of powerful digital logistics tools that help construction sites, consolidation centres, retailers, airports and more manage their end-to-end logistics process. We currently supply end-to-end logstics systems for some of the UK’s largest airports, retail centres and public service facilities.
We realise that project planning takes many different forms across the international construction sector. That’s why we’ve built a planning platform that is fully customisable by project, region or customer as required. Be it Daily Briefings, Last Planner or Collaborative Planning, our DataTouch system provides a portal whereby works supervisors and planning teams alike can truly impact schedules and programmes.
DataScope have expanded across Europe rapidly over recent years with operations now at 30 live projects in 10 different countries outside of the UK. We’ve also made our first steps into North America, South America and APAC with an accompanying investment in our management team to support system design, implementation, training and ongoing development.
