Case Study: List GC achieves faster, data-driven project planning with smartPM.solutions

List GC - Customer Case Study

List GC, a major construction company, faced significant challenges with its reliance on Excel for complex financial planning and project performance management. As the company grew, their spreadsheets became unwieldy, with some reaching 800-900 lines, leading to immense workloads, a lack of trusted data, and employees spending more time checking formulas than performing value-added analysis. This situation prompted them to seek a professional FP&A tool and partner with vendor smartPM.solutions, which implemented a solution based on Unit4 FP&A technology.

The solution from smartPM.solutions provided a single source of truth, automated reporting, and enabled dynamic scenario planning. The results included streamlined processes, maximum data transparency, and a significant cultural shift toward data-driven action. Quantifiable impacts were substantial; smartPM.solutions helped achieve estimated savings of 5 hours per week per project manager. This efficiency allowed for taking on additional projects, leading to a calculated bottom-line impact of approximately €450,000 per additional project per year, alongside savings from a reduced error rate and reduced support overhead.
