How Portfolio Manager helped save BHS Robotics from project pandemonium
BHS Robotics is a world-class system integrator offering leading technology solutions, comprehensive capabilities, and extensive technical expertise.
Challenge
BHS Robotics faced two main challenges: Properly estimating timelines for custom orders and capacity issues related to engineering staffing. A surge of new orders and projects meant that these issues simply couldn’t go unaddressed for long.
To compound both of these problems, they were running outdated systems for tracking their resources and labor costs and they knew there had to be a better way.
Solution
BHS Robotics implemented Portfolio Manager in April 2022, and saw huge benefits in how their teamed aligned around priorities and fixed their broken timelines and stressed-out teams with accurate and sensible deadlines.
- Portfolio Manager reduced the calls from the sales and management teams to the engineering team requesting continuous status updates. Everyone can see an updated project timeline in real-time.
- Teams are able to estimate project timelines more efficiently and accurately by allowing individual team members to update their projects and estimate their tasks.
- Each of BHS Robotics engineers, managers, and sales team members could foresee issues, allowing them to course-correct before it is too late.
Testimonial
I’ve gone through multiple programs with regard to resource and project management. Portfolio Manager is by far the best; it’s the only one that is truly fluid. It really helps plan the timeline for your projects and shows you the path of how you will achieve it.
