Case Study: Firstco achieves better visibility of resource allocations with Silverbucket

A Better Visibility of Resourcing Allocations

Firstco, a systems engineering company specializing in transportation control systems, faced a challenge managing its growing number of projects and resources using unwieldy Excel spreadsheets. To gain better visibility into resource allocations, they implemented the Silverbucket resource management solution in August 2017.

Using Silverbucket, the company achieved a top-down view of all projects and personnel, which streamlined their monthly production meetings and reduced their length. Directors now concentrate on resolving overall resourcing issues instead of trading people. The solution also provides forecasts that allow project managers to proactively address potential resource conflicts and drops in allocation, ensuring better planning across their approximately 65 ongoing projects.
