Panthom Engineering × Evokewrite
How a leading Australian engineering firm transformed their inspection reporting with AI-powered software.
Manual Reporting Was Holding the Business Back
Panthom Engineering is a respected Australian engineering inspection firm. Their team of qualified engineers conducts structural assessments across construction and building projects — work that demands precision, compliance, and professional documentation.
But like many engineering firms, Panthom was spending more time on paperwork than on-site work. Their inspection reporting process was entirely manual:
- Engineers captured field data on handwritten worksheets
- Office staff manually transcribed data into Word templates
- Hand-drawn site diagrams required professional redrawing
- Report quality varied depending on who prepared it
- Turnaround from inspection to delivered report: 2–3 days
The result: frustrated engineers, delayed client deliverables, and a growing administrative burden that limited the firm's capacity to take on new work.
"We knew there had to be a better way, but every tool we looked at was either too generic or required us to completely change how our engineers work in the field. We needed something that fit our existing workflow."— Jasper Dunphy, Principal Engineer, Panthom Engineering
From Discovery to Deployed Software
Evoke AI engaged with Panthom Engineering through a structured consulting and development process:
Discovery
Evoke AI's team spent time understanding Panthom's end-to-end inspection workflow: how engineers capture data in the field, how reports are assembled, what clients expect, and where the bottlenecks lived.
Solution Design
Based on the discovery findings, Evoke AI designed Evokewrite — an AI-powered report generation platform purpose-built for engineering inspection workflows. The solution was architected to work with Panthom's existing field worksheets and diagram conventions.
Development & Iteration
Evoke AI built Evokewrite using an agile, iterative approach — delivering working functionality every sprint, with regular feedback loops directly with Panthom's engineers. Key features included AI data extraction, drawing beautification, automated report generation, cloud-based delivery, and ServiceM8 integration.
Deployment & Support
Evokewrite was deployed as a cloud SaaS platform with onboarding, training, and ongoing support. Panthom's engineers were using the system in production within weeks of launch.
"What impressed us most about working with Evoke AI was the quality of their software development. They didn't just understand AI — they understood how to build production software that engineers can actually rely on. The architecture is solid, the platform is fast, and when we needed changes, they delivered quickly."— Jasper Dunphy, Principal Engineer, Panthom Engineering
Measurable Impact from Day One
Qualitative outcomes:
- ✓ Consistent, professional report quality across all engineers
- ✓ Engineers spend more time on inspections, less on administration
- ✓ Faster client deliverables improving satisfaction and retention
- ✓ Scalable process — firm can take on more work without proportional admin overhead
- ✓ Privacy-first architecture: client data processed and delivered, never retained
"Evokewrite has transformed our reporting process. The AI extraction is incredibly accurate — it reads our engineers' handwriting better than we can. Our clients are impressed with the professional quality, and our team has time back for actual inspections."— Jasper Dunphy, Principal Engineer, Panthom Engineering
What Made It Work
Partnership, Not Just a Vendor
Evoke AI embedded with the Panthom team — understanding engineers, clients, and compliance requirements before writing a line of code.
Real Software, Not a Prototype
Evokewrite isn't a demo — it's production software Panthom relies on every day. The architecture, performance, and reliability reflect a team that builds software for a living.
Domain Expertise + AI Expertise
The combination of genuine engineering domain understanding and deep AI technical capability is what set Evoke AI apart from other firms Panthom evaluated.
