Automatización del flujo integral de proyectos en una empresa de estudios de suelos

Abstract

Currently, in the engineering sector, small and medium-sized companies, especially those dedicated to geotechnical studies, face challenges in remaining competitive. Despite their high technical specialization, many of these organizations lack automated processes and are often managed manually and disjointedly. This not only makes them less efficient but also prevents them from quickly adapting to market demands. The lack of integration in their operations causes problems such as lost information or misassigned tasks, as well as delayed report delivery. Given the current situation, the digitization and automation of workflows is a great solution to improve operational efficiency, reduce human error, and increase customer satisfaction. This thesis aims to design an automated project management system based on low-code platforms, with the goal of optimizing project management phases, from the receipt of requests to the delivery of reports. The automation of repetitive tasks and the integration of workflows will improve coordination between company departments and reduce delivery times. A mixed methodology combining qualitative and quantitative approaches will also be used to design a suitable solution that will allow the company to effectively address future challenges. Key Words: Automation, digitalization, project management, operational efficiency, competitiveness.
