Sachse's rapid growth and increasingly
complex projects strained existing
software and created a heavy reliance
on Microsoft Excel as a bridge between
non-integrated Operations and
Accounting solutions. Project efficiency
was impacted by a dependence on the
Accounting department for financial
reporting, a lack of real-time data,
and difficulty in quickly identifying
and limiting margin erosion. Inherent
inefficiencies included duplicative data
entry and spreadsheet reconciliation
which weighed heavily on all.
Additionally, a lack of collaborative
project management software hindered
architects, owners, and subcontractors
from interacting with Submittals and
RFIs. This resulted in restricted visibility
and fostered a reliance on non-real-time
status logs circulated by email.
CHALLENGE
Instead of Accounting living in one world and
Operations in another, it's one world."
