Before Celoxis
The struggle with Excel
Edinburgh Instruments' reliance on Excel significantly hindered efficiency, transparency, and collaboration.
The manual tracking of projects and costs was slow and error-prone, while Excel lacked the advanced features needed for managing complex, multi-phase projects.
What was breaking
- Slow, error-prone tracking Manual tracking of projects and costs was slow and left room for mistakes.
- No workload visibility The absence of workload visibility created resource planning challenges.
- Time-consuming reporting Generating reports for stakeholders was time-consuming, delaying crucial decisions.
Switching from Excel to Celoxis has significantly improved our transparency and resource planning. We now track projects and costs accurately, and global stakeholders can easily access progress, streamlining our processes.
