The Company: Hörmann Logistik GmbH realizes tailormade intralogistics system solutions for many different industries. The company designs high-bay warehouses and small-parts warehouses ensuring productivity and cost-effectiveness. Hörmann Logistik takes full responsibility not only for the realization of complex new plants, but also for the modernization of existing plants during ongoing operations.
The Challenge: Hitherto, project management had been decentrally organized and time-consuming. Unlike now, a single and comprehensive overview of scheduling and resource planning had been unavailable. Another challenge: the switch to a solution for project management, which was fully integrated from the beginning, was meant to happen within a short period of time. Budget risk was to be kept as low as possible.
The Solution: TPG QuickStart for Microsoft Project Online offered a preconfigured system at a fixed price. It combines generic processes and best practices. Without elaborate adjustments, it creates a professional working environment for enterprise-wide integrated project management. The introduction was completed on schedule in only six months. As a persuasive proof of concept, TPG QuickStart can be the basis for further specifications.
The Benefits: The new solution has provided Hörmann Logistik with a fully operational, integrated enterprise-wide project management system. Users can view and manage schedules and resources easily via the browser. They can rest assured that all data is complete and up-to-date. It is possible to access the key performance indicators for the projects’ development status live. Report creation has become much faster, too.
