Before Celoxis
The struggle without a formal system
GroundProbe's Product Development and GeoPhysics divisions faced a significant setback without a formal project management tool.
This disjointed approach resulted in missed deadlines, cost overruns, and left project managers in the dark. Updating project timelines around employee leave proved cumbersome, exacerbating the struggle to maintain efficiency and control.
What was breaking
- A patchwork of spreadsheets and email Relying on spreadsheets, emails, and verbal communication made tracking progress convoluted.
- Missed deadlines and cost overruns The disjointed approach left project managers in the dark on true project status.
- Cumbersome timeline updates Updating project timelines around employee leave was a constant struggle.
- GroundProbe evaluated several competitors, including Microsoft Project, Wrike and Smartsheet, before choosing Celoxis for its comprehensive capabilities and responsive support.
Celoxis is a great tool to manage projects, costs, resources, time and progress. It is feature-rich, easy to implement and highly customizable. Its reporting capabilities are superb and its customer support is simply exceptional.
