Case Study: Garver Engineers boosts project efficiency with SmartPM schedule analytics

Garver Leverages SmartPM Schedule Analytics to Increase Efficiency Across Their Projects

Garver Engineers, a construction and engineering firm, faced significant challenges in managing complex, multi-year transportation projects for state DOTs. Their manual process for analyzing schedules and identifying the causation of delays from change orders was extremely time-consuming and often led to arguments with contractors. They needed a better alternative to this inefficient method.

By adopting the schedule analytics service from SmartPM, Garver gained instant, unbiased insights into their project schedules. This solution automatically identified delays and their causes, transforming their change order negotiation process. The results for Garver were substantial, leading to a 200% increase in departmental productivity, with schedulers doubling their project load. SmartPM provided the clear, visual data that ended disputes and became a key competitive advantage for the firm.
