Case Study: Makimo scales complex allocations and finances with Primetric

How Makimo used Primetric to scale complex allocations and finances

Makimo, a small software development company in Poland, faced challenges scaling its operations due to fragmented and manual planning processes. Using separate Excel spreadsheets and a custom tool for long and short-term resource allocation created a significant administrative burden and a lack of real-time financial visibility. The disconnect between planning and finances, coupled with no integration with JIRA, made it difficult to forecast accurately and manage their team's complex, multi-project allocations. To solve this, they turned to the vendor Primetric and implemented its project and resource management platform.

Primetric provided an integrated solution that combined resource planning, financial management, and JIRA integration into a single source of truth. This allowed Makimo to manage complex allocations with real-time visibility into employee availability, project budgets, and profitability. The results were immediate; they successfully delivered a complex project during the pandemic using Primetric's drafting tools and gained scalable processes, reduced planning time, and surgical precision in forecasting. The implementation of Primetric eliminated manual errors and gave managers the tools to make informed decisions, supporting the company's growth.
