Quire Transforms Report Writing for Bureau Veritas
The Challenge
WProducing tens of thousands of reports each year with a 99.9% on-time delivery rate leaves no room for inefficiencies. Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, needed a robust technical report management platform to uphold its commitment to exceptional service. They required:
- A stable, responsive platform with strong customer support
- Flexible templates and customizable tables
- Automated cost calculations
- Field data collection via mobile app
- Seamless integration with project management tools
- Collaborative, real-time editing to eliminate version control issues
Without these capabilities, high-volume reporting would have been slow, error-prone, and costly.
The Solution
After a 2014 demo, Bureau Veritas transitioned to Quire—and never looked back. The platform’s modern, user-friendly features immediately set it apart:
“Quire was well ahead of our old platform technologically. That led us to switch gears.”
— Matt Fox, Senior Engineering Consultant, Bureau Veritas
SmartTables and Formulas
Quire’s SmartTables allowed Bureau Veritas to replace lengthy narrative sections with easy-to-read tables, speeding up report writing and enhancing clarity. Built-in formulas automatically calculate figures like parking ratios and vacancy rates, eliminating manual errors. Reference Tags further improved consistency, auto-populating accurate data across the report.
“Using SmartTables might cut our report writing time in half.”
— Matt Fox
Mobile Field Data Collection
With Quire’s Mobile App, field teams now capture data and photos directly into reports—no more messy handwritten notes or delays. This shift improved both efficiency and data accuracy.
End-to-End Usability
Additional Quire features streamlined the process even further:
- Drag-and-drop report structuring
- WordBank for consistent phrasing
- Real-time collaboration across teams
- One-click PDF generation
The Results
Bureau Veritas achieved significant improvements:
Accuracy: Automated calculations and Reference Tags minimized errors.
Time savings: Report creation time was slashed dramatically.
Flexibility: Easy customization of templates and field data collection.
Looking Ahead
Next, Bureau Veritas plans to use Quire to simplify complex cost spreadsheets into polished deliverables. With Quire’s ongoing enhancements and responsiveness to feedback, Bureau Veritas knows it has a long-term partner in innovation.
“Every five minutes saved adds up across the thousands of reports we produce each year.”
