Case Study: Oculus reclaims creative time and improves project visibility with Projectworks

Oculus saves 76 hours of admin time a week with Projectworks

Oculus, a landscape architecture firm with studios across Australia and Washington, faced a significant operational challenge. Their project management was mired in a chaotic system of disconnected spreadsheets, which consumed 15-20% of the team's time with administrative tasks. This created data inaccuracies, decision bottlenecks, and siloed studios, ultimately hindering the creative energy of their award-winning designers. To address this, they turned to the vendor Projectworks for its project management software.

By implementing Projectworks, Oculus replaced their manual processes with a live, centralized system. The solution provided real-time data visibility, empowering project leaders to manage budgets and resources directly. This shift saved the team an estimated 76 hours of admin time per week, reclaimed a full week each month, and improved cross-studio collaboration. The measurable impact from Projectworks included tracking 319k billable hours and managing 541 projects, which unlocked the team's capacity for creativity and strategic growth.
