Mahindra Lifespaces adopts nPulse for digitized project lifecycle management

nPulse has helped Mahindra Lifespaces digitize and streamline key stages in its construction project lifecycle including budget management, planning, progress monitoring, quality control, safety and handovers.

Nadhi Information Technologies, a pioneer in the enterprise software space for the realty and infra sector has announced that Mahindra Lifespaces has deployed its nPulse platform for predictive analytics and project control. nPulse has helped Mahindra Lifespaces digitize and streamline key stages in its construction project lifecycle including budget management, planning, progress monitoring, quality control, safety and handovers.  Approximately two million square feet of area under development across Mahindra Lifespaces projects are being monitored via nPulse through a system of mobile-based progress updates, automated reporting and alerting, and management dashboards and analytics.

nPulse is currently live at ‘Happinest Kalyan’ and ‘Happinest Palghar’, both ongoing projects by Mahindra Happinest, the affordable offering from Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd. nPulse has also been deployed at Mahindra Lifespaces’ mid-premium segment projects ‘Vicino’ in Mumbai and ‘Centralis’ in Pune. Mahindra Lifespaces will deploy the nPulse platform across more projects in a phased manner.

“We are very excited and happy to partner with Mahindra Lifespaces. With Mahindra Lifespaces’ emphasis on technology-driven processes and project delivery and the features of the nPulse solution, we believe we can truly transform the way project execution is governed.  nPulse enables online, real-time visibility into time, cost, quality and safety metrics; and helps red-flag potential slippages and escalations. This benefits all stakeholders on a project and establishes new benchmarks in digitization in India’s real estate industry,” said Kalyan Vaidyanathan, CEO at Nadhi.

“As part of this rollout, we have also integrated SAP and nPulse through APIs. This has made it possible to view and monitor physical progress vis-à-vis schedule progress alongside budgets and financial progress, which is of tremendous value in capital projects,” Vaidyanathan added.

Commenting on the rollout, Arvind Subramanian, Managing Director and CEO, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd said, “We are committed to the timely delivery of quality homes to our customers, while also ensuring safety, environmental compliances and commercial discipline during the construction process.  The deployment of nPulse has helped us improve project execution efficiency.  We have leveraged the platform’s analytics capabilities for review cadence and enhanced risk management.  We expect the deployment of nPulse will eventually benefit all our stakeholders in the larger ecosystem, most importantly our customers and our suppliers.”

“From a technology perspective, digitization and standardization are a significant part of our overall strategy.  We had been looking for a project lifecycle management (PLCM) platform for a while and did a very detailed evaluation of multiple Indian and global solutions. At the end of the day, we selected nPulseTM for the breadth and depth of the feature set, and most importantly, the domain expertise of the Nadhi team.  nPulse effectively covers the entire gamut of the PLCM domain, thus doing away with the need to adopt individual solutions for each focus area and thereafter incur costs and efforts of integrating them,” added Amit Pal, Chief Project Officer, Mahindra Happinest.

“From an IT perspective, the seamless integration with our SAP system, the integration of single sign-on with our Azure AD system, and extensive security features were important factors in choosing nPulse.  We continue to work with the Nadhi team to automate and streamline ancillary business processes in the construction lifecycle,” he added.
