The challenge

At Lachenmeier, the reporting of tasks and driving hours was manual and inconsistent, affecting technicians' pay and creating a risk of non-compliance with Danish labour law.

Key obstacles

  • Manual data

    Inconsistent reporting with no transparency.

  • Time recording

    Working hours difficult to determine accurately.

  • GPS discrepancies

    Differences between the recorded route and the work carried out.

The solution

An AI validation system that cross-checks GPS data against planned tasks, integrates time records and flags inconsistencies, developed with a Forward Deployed Engineer on site.

Results

~90% less reporting time, more accurate and consistent records, real-time visibility for managers and a lower risk of non-compliance.

What we learned

When reporting affects pay and legal compliance, AI should flag the exceptions and leave the decision to a person. Human validation preserves accuracy and the teams' trust.
