Case Study: Morgan Sindall saves time and improves month-end reporting with Advanced’s SharePoint CVR system

Morgan Sindall's CVR System Saves Time at Month End Leaving More Capacity for Billable Work

Morgan Sindall, a top ten UK construction group, faced significant inefficiencies in its month-end financial reporting for projects. Their manual process of re-keying data from the financial system into spreadsheets was time-consuming, prone to error, and lacked workflow automation. This created challenges for collaboration, productivity, and visibility for financial controllers. Advanced was engaged to design a new solution to address these specific issues.

Advanced designed and deployed a bespoke Microsoft SharePoint application, the CVR System, to automate the entire workflow. This solution eliminated duplicate data entry and provided a secure, centralized platform for reporting. As a result, Morgan Sindall saved at least one day per month per surveyor, significantly reduced errors, and enabled financial controllers to produce consolidated reports at least one day earlier. The implementation by Advanced provided the company with greater commercial control and a real competitive advantage.
