Air Liquide - Vistoplex

Overview

For Air Liquide, the objective was not simply to refresh an interface. The work centred on a mission-critical operational system supporting periodic gas-cylinder inspections, where usability, process consistency, testing discipline and deployment control all had to work together.

Our contribution connected software redesign with programme delivery: shaping the application through Agile sprints, governing UAT, coordinating deployment across 10 facilities and preparing end users to adopt the updated system in live industrial environments.

What we set out to solve

The programme required more than a visual redesign. The inspection application operated inside real industrial workflows, so changes had to be developed, tested and introduced without losing sight of the people, processes and facilities that depended on it.

We translated operational inspection requirements into a clearer software experience.
We used Agile sprints to move the redesign forward in controlled delivery cycles.
We established UAT governance so business users could validate the system before deployment.
We coordinated rollout and training across 10 facilities to support consistent adoption.

The Challenge

Modernising a critical workflow without losing operational control.

The central challenge was to improve software used for periodic gas-cylinder inspections while maintaining confidence across multiple operational sites. The programme needed clear requirements, controlled iteration, business validation and a deployment approach capable of working across different facility environments.

Because the system was mission-critical, UAT could not be treated as a final checkbox. It had to be governed as a core delivery workstream, with user feedback, test management, readiness decisions and training aligned before each rollout stage.

A governed delivery framework for enterprise operational software.

We brought product redesign, Agile programme delivery, testing, rollout and training into one coordinated approach. Each workstream was structured around operational readiness rather than software delivery in isolation.

01 / Discovery

Operational workflow mapping

We worked from the needs of the inspection process, identifying how users interacted with the system and where the redesigned experience needed to improve clarity and control.

Process Alignment

02 / Product

Inspection software redesign

We reshaped the operational application around a clearer user journey for periodic gas-cylinder inspections, keeping the software focused on real tasks performed in industrial settings.

Enterprise UX

03 / Delivery

Agile sprint management

We organised the work into Agile sprints, connecting operational priorities, user feedback and implementation decisions through a controlled delivery rhythm.

Sprint Delivery

04 / Testing

UAT governance

We governed user acceptance testing as a formal programme workstream, helping ensure the redesigned system was validated by the business before deployment.

Quality Assurance

05 / Rollout

Multi-site deployment

We coordinated deployment across 10 industrial facilities, aligning system readiness with local operational requirements and rollout governance.

10 Facilities

06 / Adoption

End-user training

We supported adoption with user training, helping teams understand the redesigned workflow and prepare to use the application in day-to-day operations.

Change Enablement

The Solution

A delivery model built around operational readiness.

The final approach treated redesign, testing, deployment and training as one connected transformation. Rather than handing over software at the end of development, we created a governed path from sprint delivery through business acceptance and into multi-site use.

✓

Operations-led product decisionsWe kept the redesign anchored to the inspection workflow and the practical needs of end users.

✓

Controlled acceptance processWe used structured UAT governance to connect business validation with release readiness.

✓

Deployment and adoption supportWe aligned rollout and training across 10 facilities so implementation extended beyond the software itself.

The Result

A modernised inspection platform supported by governed enterprise delivery.

The programme delivered a redesigned operational software experience together with the governance required to test, deploy and introduce it across 10 industrial facilities. Air Liquide gained a more structured route from product change to business acceptance, rollout and user adoption.
