About Helen Turkington Design
Helen Turkington Design, a prominent interior design firm specializing in residential and commercial projects, faced significant challenges in managing their design process, client communications, and project timelines efficiently. Their existing manual systems were prone to errors, leading to delays, miscommunication, and inefficiencies in project delivery.
The Challenge
Navigating the intricate maze of project management, the firm encountered a myriad of challenges that impeded their progress and strained their resources.
- Manual Processes: The client relied on manual methods for project management, including spreadsheets, emails, and paper-based documentation, leading to redundant data entry and inconsistencies.
- Communication Bottlenecks: Communication between team members, clients, and suppliers was fragmented, leading to delays in approvals, misunderstandings, and rework.
- Resource Allocation: Difficulty in tracking resource availability and workload led to overburdened team members and underutilised resources, impacting project profitability.
The Solution
To address these challenges, our team developed a custom software solution tailored to the client’s specific requirements. The solution integrated the following key features:
- Project Management Dashboard: A centralised dashboard for project tracking, task assignment, and milestone management, providing real-time visibility into project progress and deadlines.
- Resource Planning Module: An intuitive resource planning module to track team availability, allocate tasks efficiently, and prevent resource conflicts, ensuring optimal utilisation of resources.
- Document Management System: A document management system for storing and organising design files, contracts, and client communications, eliminating the need for manual paperwork and improving document accessibility.
The Results
The implementation of the custom software brought about several significant benefits for the security company:
- Improved Efficiency: The software streamlined project management processes, reducing administrative overhead by 50% and enabling the client’s team to focus more on creative design tasks.
- Enhanced Collaboration: The client collaboration portal facilitated seamless communication with clients, leading to faster approvals, fewer revision cycles, and increased client satisfaction.
- Optimised Resource Allocation: With the resource planning module, the client achieved a 30% increase in resource utilisation, leading to improved project profitability and reduced project timelines.
- Scalability and Growth: The software provided a scalable platform for the client to manage their expanding project portfolio, supporting business growth and expansion into new markets.
