Case Study: Golden Spiral achieves 21% utilization increase in two months with Kantata

Golden Spiral Increases Utilization Rates by 21% in Two Months

Golden Spiral is an integrated marketing agency focused on B2B technology companies. With 11–50 employees, the firm struggled with disconnected tools—LeanKit for project mapping, Basecamp for communication and Harvest for time—forcing financial reporting into spreadsheets, obscuring project status and wasting time.

Switching to Mavenlink gave Golden Spiral integrated project financials, resource planning and reusable templates, and the team adopted it within days. Within two months utilization rose 21%, billable achievement improved from 84.6% to 95.2%, and the agency began delivering more projects on time and on budget while standardizing PM best practices.
