The Challenges
In manufacturing, the focus on operational excellence often sidelines project management, with initiatives managed at lower levels and deprioritized unless driven by urgent needs. Prior to implementing Celoxis, KV faced several challenges in managing its projects, including:
Siloed Project Management
Projects were managed independently, making it challenging to track progress, identify dependencies, and allocate resources effectively.
Lack of Portfolio Visibility
Executives struggled to gain a comprehensive view of the project portfolio, impacting strategic resource allocation and prioritization.
Inefficient Communication and Collaboration
Inefficient communication and collaboration among project teams led to delays and misunderstandings.
Difficulty Tracking Finances
Manual tracking of project financials made it difficult to assess profitability and identify cost-saving opportunities.
The Struggle with Viewpath
Before switching to Celoxis, Knape and Vogt relied on Viewpath and manual processes, leading to the following issues:
Manual Processes: KV relied heavily on manual processes for project management, which were time-consuming, error-prone, and lacked the necessary transparency and accountability.
Limited Tool Capabilities: The company was using Viewpath, a project management tool that was inflexible and lacked the portfolio management capabilities required to meet their needs.
Data Silos: Financial data was scattered across different systems, making it difficult to get a complete picture of project costs and profitability.
I wanted to let you know that this year I celebrate my 25 year as a PMP, and Celoxis is the best project, portfolio management tool l have ever worked with. Great company, great product, great customer service.
