Case Study: Fraunhofer IWU achieves efficient multi-project oversight and streamlined resource planning with InLoox

Employees of the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology chose the project management software InLoox

Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology (Fraunhofer IWU) needed a proven way to streamline development projects, coordinate teams working in parallel, and optimize resource and task allocation for automotive and mechanical engineering research. After evaluating several options, the institute selected the project management software InLoox, praised for its intuitive interface and tight integration with Microsoft Outlook.

InLoox was deployed to handle planning, team coordination, document management and progress control, giving managers instant visibility into tasks, priorities and team capacity. The solution is now used by 50 Fraunhofer IWU employees, required only a two-day training, and was ready-to-use within one week of shipment; it has reduced redundant work and reporting/meeting overhead while improving resource planning and project oversight.
