When time is money, see how SWK Technologies can help transform wasted hours into revenue-generating project time.
In the professional services industry, time really is money. And that’s why one established engineering consulting and testing firm realized they had a problem: their team was wasting significant time manually keying in the same data two to three times across different systems.
They knew there had to be a better way.
Multiple Entries; Multiplied Problems
Engineering is a precise art, which can make it distressing to rely on error-prone manual data entry. However, that wasn’t the biggest problem for the firm — their real challenge was that they were entering their data into a range of disparate financial and operational systems spread across 11 locations.
As a result, they had limited visibility into their costs, profitability, and projects in the field. Uncovering that data required additional labor hours, further eating into their available time.
Thankfully, all of that changed once they had Acumatica Enterprise Professional Services Edition.
Solution: Strategic Streamlining from SWK Technologies
The renowned Acumatica experts and 4-time Acumatica Partner of the Year award winners at SWK Technologies knew exactly what would help the engineering team take back their valuable time.
First, SWK addressed the firm’s financial processes. By setting up Acumatica with project accounting and full order managementcapabilities, the SWK team empowered the engineering company to easily track project hours and profitability, as well as to develop flexible rate and discount strategies that balanced profits with competitive labor-hour pricing.
With accounting processes now optimized, the SWK experts next integrated the engineering firm’s financial data with their operational data using the powerful, yet user-friendly Celigo intelligent automation platform. This extended the engineering firm’s visibility into its field operations, giving them the power to make smarter, faster, more confident decisions at any stage of a project.
Finally, the SWK team tackled the small, constant time wasters that had been chipping away at the engineering firm’s availability for years. A fixed assets module for Acumatica helped the engineering company maintain accurate records while ensuring regulatory compliance for their critical specialized equipment. A Microsoft Exchange integration helped them keep all project-related emails fully organized.
Faster Projects; Stronger Bottom Line
Now the engineering team no longer has to spend their time entering data into multiple systems, and they don’t have to waste time hunting across siloed solutions to track down crucial data.
Time savings like these improve team morale and productivity. But for the engineering firm, it also frees them to speed up project delivery timelines so they can get more done in less time than ever before.
And in an industry where, as we said, time is money, those time savings directly translate into revenue gains and business growth.
