From fragmented workflows to connected collaboration
At Linthorst, sustainable energy leaders in the Netherlands, innovation has always been part of the DNA. But as the organisation expanded across six subsidiaries and hundreds of specialists, maintaining a unified way of working became a challenge.
The challenge
For Rudy van de Pol, Process Manager at Linthorst, the daily struggle was clear: teams working in silos, duplicate files, and too much time lost searching for information instead of moving projects forward. “We had several small islands within the company, each with its own working habits”, van de Pol recalls.
The approach
Rudy’s mission was to create a consistent, transparent process that would bring engineers, project managers, and field teams together around shared standards. But he knew that success depended on more than choosing the right technology, it required a cultural shift.
That’s when Linthorst partnered with ARKANCE to design a digital transformation roadmap. To build a new way of working, they rolled out Autodesk Forma Data Management (formerly Docs) and Forma Design Collaboration (formerly BIM Collaborate Pro), part of Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud).
ARKANCE’s experts worked side-by-side with Rudy’s team, guiding them through defining new workflows, file structures, and collaboration rules. A pilot project helped validate everything in real conditions. Weekly feedback sessions ensured that every adjustment reflected Linthorst’s real-world needs.

ARKANCE challenged us, supported us, and made sure the new tools fit the way we work, not the other way around
The outcome
Within months, Linthorst teams began speaking a common digital language. Project data became accessible to everyone and collaboration across departments became smoother and faster.
For Rudy, the impact was more than operational efficiency. “Before, we spent too much time chasing files and aligning versions between departments. Now, everything lives in one place. We can focus on improving processes, not just managing them.”
With ARKANCE’s guidance, the Process Manager’s role transformed from firefighting inefficiencies to leading continuous improvement. Linthorst now has a scalable foundation for collaboration, and a model of how digital transformation can empower people to work as one. Transformation takes a team. We’re your people.
