How Walbec brought environmental compliance into one platform

Walbec Group, a building materials company, struggled with managing environmental compliance across 150 locations on a homegrown system.

Walbec Group, a leading construction materials company, faced significant challenges in managing environmental compliance across its 150 locations. The company needed a centralized, efficient solution to streamline inspections, record-keeping, and compliance reporting. 

By implementing Mapistry, Walbec improved compliance tracking, reduced inefficiencies, and ensured better environmental data management within 90 days.

The challenge: Managing compliance for 150 locations with an antiquated, homegrown system 

Walbec previously relied on an in-house compliance system maintained by their IT department. When the IT specialist responsible for the system retired, maintaining it became challenging. 

A transition to a SharePoint-based system was attempted, but it lacked the functionality to manage inspections, data logging, and reporting effectively.

Managing inspections, permits, daily operations data, and reports manually was becoming an administrative burden for environmental and operations teams. Their system, prone to errors, exposed Walbec to potential EPA fines.

Why Walbec chose Mapistry over two other software providers 

The Walbec team evaluated two other software options but ended up choosing Mapistry for three key reasons:

• Ease of use for operations: Compliance would be impossible without operations using the tool. Zach Leitner, Environmental Manager, put it best: “Mapistry’s ease of use blew everybody else out of the water”.
• Everything in one place: To get complete visibility, every part of environmental compliance needed to be in one place: Inspections, data, due dates, records, and maps. Other providers only provided some required tools.
• Fast implementation: The company needed a rapid rollout, and Mapistry supported a launch in under 90 days after contract signing.
  
  

The transformation: A reliable compliance system, loved by frontline workers and environmental alike

Walbec Group rolled out Mapistry across its asphalt plants, aggregate sites, and support facilities to track:

• Inspections: Stormwater, SPCC, air emissions, and equipment checks.
• Data logging: Daily air records, production throughput, and sustainability metrics.
• Compliance calendar: Automated reminders and reporting deadlines.

With all compliance data in one place, teams could quickly find what they needed without digging through spreadsheets or chasing down reports. 

Going forward, Walbec is set up to avoid regulatory fines, while managers and frontline teams spend less time on admin work and more time improving processes.

“The guys are loving the new system with Mapistry.” – Zach Leitner, Environmental Manager

Managing environmental compliance across 150 locations shouldn't be this hard 

Walbec was stuck with a clunky, outdated system that made tracking inspections, permits, and emissions data a headache. When they switched to Mapistry, everything changed—compliance got easier, operations teams actually used the system, and reporting became a breeze.
