# Switching from Power Apps to Appfarm – and winning an Innovation Award

Appfarm partner Godig experienced limitations using Microsoft Power Apps for complex application development. When approached by their customer Skanska regarding a highly complex use case with the need for offline support, they decided to develop in Appfarm. Their solution ended up winning Skanska's Innovation Award.

## The challenge

The construction industry has several niche operations and needs when it comes to digital solution, that can’t be found in off-the-shelf software. Skanska needed a digital solution to oversee and manage tunnel-building projects from start to finish. This operation was previously handled with manual processes, and when they were to digitalize the entire process, they needed a digital solution that could integrate with other tools and systems, and have offline support as there is no connection in the tunnels.

## The solution

The solution was developed by one and a half developers at Godig. Godig had previously worked with Power Apps, but found that it lacked the functionality the solution required, and decided to move it over to Appfarm. They also required offline functionality which Appfarm didn't support at the time, but was then implemented in the platform.

> “Appfarm has made it easier for us to develop with a higher degree of security that it actually works”

## The results

- Large amounts of time saved in calculations, project management, and detailed overview of complex operations
- Better statistics that can be analyzed and used to improve project management
- More user-friendly and easy to operate by a specific user group
- Winner of the Skanska Innovation Award

### Construction & infrastructure

### Field data collection

### A centralized platform for IoT sensor data from construction sites

Skanska's internally developed application, Falken, is a centralized platform for IoT sensor data from construction projects, consolidating diverse formats into a single interface. It offers real-time visualization and provides the data they need to analyze, reduce, and avoid environmental impacts and risks on construction sites.

### Turning hours of manual resource planning into instant automation

The projects are large and complex, the workforce is spread out across departments and physical locations and headquarters often have little relation to what is happening on site. This makes it challenging when managing and coordinating project crew and staff. Implenia solved this with no-code.
