Case Study: Satterfield & Pontikes Construction improves schedule visibility and on-time delivery with SmartPM

Satterfield & Pontikes Construction avoids 430-activity schedule surprises with SmartPM

Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, a major construction firm, faced significant challenges with schedule management. Their primary issues included a lack of portfolio-wide visibility, an inability to see the impact of schedule changes, difficulty quantifying delays, and shortcomings in forecasting and identifying trends. Their existing processes, which relied heavily on custom Primavera reports and Excel, were cumbersome and provided limited, siloed information, making it difficult to convey critical data to field teams effectively.

The company implemented SmartPM's automated project controls technology to augment their existing Primavera scheduling. The solution provided comprehensive visual dashboards and analytics, enabling proactive conversations about workloads and adjustments. As a result, Satterfield & Pontikes gained crucial visibility into forecasted performance, mitigated end-date slippage, and delivered a major project on time. SmartPM saved significant time in reporting and allowed teams to consistently identify critical trends, ensuring higher-quality schedules and timely project delivery.
