Case Study: Pearl Companies achieves 25% utilization increase with Kantata

Pearl Marketing Group Increases Utilization by 25% with Mavenlink

Pearl Companies’ in-house Pearl Marketing Group supports a diverse enterprise and handles roughly 120 new projects each month. Rapid growth exposed a lack of visibility into workload and capacity, making it difficult to scale, coordinate dozens of interdependent tasks, and accurately allocate resources.

By standardizing on Mavenlink—integrating a custom web request form, reusable project templates, Gantt charts with dependencies, and time tracking—the team consolidated three systems into one and automated project workflows. The change delivered a 25% increase in average utilization (with some individuals over 90%), clearer capacity forecasting, faster time-to-market, and more time for creativity and campaign refinement.
