Case Study: SWCA achieves 50% faster project efficiency and 20-day faster revenue collection with Deltek Vision

Growing environmental consulting firm empowers project managers, reduces DSO and increases efficiency by 50% using Deltek Vision

SWCA is a 30-year, employee-owned environmental consulting firm with over 750 staff across more than 20 U.S. offices that was growing about 12% annually. As growth accelerated, the firm struggled with multiple stand‑alone, homegrown systems that kept critical project and financial data siloed from project managers, made reporting slow and error-prone, and delayed invoicing and time entry.

SWCA implemented Deltek Vision (including Resource Planning and CRM) to centralize project and financial data on a single system, giving project managers real‑time visibility and standardized workflows. The change cut data re‑keying by 75%, made contract reviews 50% faster, moved sales forecasting from weeks to daily, halved invoicing time, reduced time entry from two weeks to one, and shrank DSO from 90 to 70 days—collectively improving cash flow, reducing costs from maintaining multiple systems, and better supporting future growth.
