Total Synergy transforms Solari Architects’ operations to increase accuracy and efficiency.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Background and Challenges<\/h4>\n

Solari previously worked with manual spreadsheets and a variety of other systems. Keeping track of staff utilisation and hours often meant long processes and did not always present the most accurate result.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>Prior to Total Synergy we were bogged down but lots of linked spreadsheets that involved a lot of manual editing as well as a program that was becoming outdated and not fit for us.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Ruby Hickman, <\/span><\/i>Project Coordinator.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solari\u2019s story shares common industry challenges including streamlined planning, precise reporting, efficient resource allocation, and real-time financial tracking. Ruby also notes how none of the software they were using was specifically designed for the AEC industry and architects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Results<\/h4>\n

Since adopting Total Synergy across the business, Solari Architects has seen tremendous impact, including:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Streamlined project management and improved overall efficiency using Total Synergy\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Optimal resource utilisation\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Accurate project reporting<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Efficient and transparent resourcing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Real-time financial tracking<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Moved away from error-prone spreadsheets to a sophisticated industry specific solution<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Confidence and credibility in the company’s fiscal management<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Moving to Synergy has allowed Solari Architects to become a part of a broader user network and gain access to Total Synergy\u2019s Community and exceptional support services.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cThe support team takes the time to work through any issues quickly and effectively. The database of instructional articles is extensive and the Community forum to discuss improvements, questions, and issues is very helpful.\u201d Ruby Hickman, <\/span><\/i>Project Coordinator.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
