Impacto da implementação de um sistema de informação em uma empresa de engenharia

Abstract

The engineering sector, characterized by the complexity of its projects and a continuous search for efficiency, faces the imperative of digital transformation. Dependence on traditional methodologies, such as spreadsheet-based management, creates a fragmented data ecosystem, generating information silos, a lack of traceability, and operational risks that compromise data integrity, decision-making agility, and business scalability. This work, through a practical case study, analyzes the impact of implementing a customized information system in an engineering company. The research details the transition, from mapping the previous workflow to describing the architecture of the new integrated platform, developed in a low-code environment. The focus is to evaluate the benefits achieved through the centralization and automation of processes, from budgeting to project execution. The results demonstrate a significant optimization in operational efficiency: the cycle time for project structuring was reduced from an average of 7 to 9 days to less than 10 hours. Additionally, the mitigation of human errors and a proven return on investment (ROI) in just four months were observed, highlighting the strategic role of technology in modernizing management and strengthening the competitive advantage for companies in the sector.
