Case Study: Urban Grid achieves 50% higher team productivity and 12% manager time savings with Celoxis

Urban Grid uses Celoxis to optimize project efficiency, save time and resources

Urban Grid, a US– and UK-based solar project developer founded in 2011, faced growing pains as it scaled from a few projects in Excel to managing 20+ concurrent, capital-intensive, multi‑year projects. Spreadsheet-based planning left the company with poor project and resource visibility, unreliable estimates, inadequate budget tracking, fragmented communication, and no scalable change‑management or historical data.

Switching to Celoxis gave Urban Grid a centralized, cloud-based platform with interactive Gantt charts, time‑phased financial reporting, dashboards, resource load views, custom fields and built‑in collaboration tools. The result was real-time visibility, consistent planning and reporting, and streamlined change control—driving about a 50% increase in team productivity, roughly 12% manager time savings, improved budget control and lower operational costs.
