Case Study: McCarthy & Stone achieves faster workforce planning and reduced travel time with Cadcorp SIS Desktop

McCarthy & Stone - Customer Case Study

McCarthy & Stone, the UK’s leading retirement housebuilder, faced increasingly complex workforce planning for its Management Services—assigning up to 20 developments per Area Manager within a 90‑minute drive, adapting to personnel change and rapid growth. To modernize this manual process they engaged Cadcorp and implemented Cadcorp SIS Desktop as their territory management/GIS tool.

Cadcorp delivered a flexible GIS with drive‑time/network analysis and instant boundary edits, enabling automated area assignments and scenario planning. Using Cadcorp’s solution McCarthy & Stone cut workforce‑planning time from 27 to 10 days per year, reduced average drive‑time by 10 hours 24 minutes per month, and made recruitment more targeted—freeing HR capacity, boosting Area Manager productivity and improving work/life balance.
