Royal HaskoningDHV’s innovative solution to accelerate decision-making and enable effective stakeholder management, the iReport, is an online digital tool that makes project information visual. This enables it to be rapidly reported, shared and understood at the touch of a button.
By presenting projects in a digital and interactive way, the iReport cuts through the complexity of a multi-stakeholder project for it to be easily understood and accepted by the different parties involved.
The iReport follows the company’s digital EIS, an online tool that uses interactive visuals to revolutionise the way the results of an Environmental Impact Assessment are interpreted and shared.
Malcolm Roods, Associate Director for Transport and Planning at Royal HaskoningDHV, said, “The iReport is digital, interactive, visual and accessible with maps where you can move around and zoom in to details.
“It encompasses key elements such as multimedia and geographic information system (GIS) tools and benefits a wide range of project reports, from corridor and feasibility studies to masterplans and forecasting capacity studies. In addition, it has also been hailed as an environmentally friendly tool that has resulted in a decrease in the reliance on paper usage for reports.
“Royal HaskoningDHV is pioneering the way project reports are shared and we envisage the iReport will transform the industry in the manner in which the digital EIS has done.”
Siyabonga Genu, Executive Manager for Development Implementation at the JDA, said the iReport is the future of reporting, adding: “We have successfully implemented the iReport in our project report for the Vincent Tshabalala Pedestrian Bridge project. The iReport makes project management more accessible and the links on the report enable easier access to information. It’s definitely something that we will be implementing in future projects.”
