Case Study: PLY+ improves time management and transparency with Monograph

How PLY+ Replaced Manual Spreadsheets With Monograph

PLY+ is an architecture and design research firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, that had been growing in project volume and complexity, with nearly 18 projects at different stages at once. To manage scheduling, budgeting, and team coordination, the firm was relying on manual spreadsheets and timesheets in Excel and Google Docs, which created a lot of upkeep and made it harder to maintain transparency across the practice. PLY+ turned to Monograph to find a more flexible, user-friendly alternative.

Using Monograph’s practice operations platform, including tools like Resource and MoneyGantt, PLY+ was able to streamline weekly planning, track fees and schedules more visually, and improve remote coordination. The result was better time management, stronger transparency across the firm, and less manual administration. Monograph helped PLY+ replace spreadsheets, reduce friction in project management, and give the team clearer visibility into what needed to happen each week.
