Case Study: Alchemy streamlines Workday implementations and cuts forecasting time by 75% with Smartsheet Modern PPM

Alchemy uses Smartsheet Modern PPM to streamline Workday project implementations and respond faster to higher education customers

Alchemy is a North American higher education consulting firm that implements Workday solutions for colleges and universities. The company struggled with fragmented project tracking across spreadsheets and legacy tools, manual double‑entry into Workday, poor executive roll‑up reporting, limited project snapshots for leaders and customers, and time‑consuming forecasting of billable hours.

Alchemy standardized on Smartsheet Modern PPM (Advance Gold) using Control Center templates plus Bridge, Data Shuttle, and the Salesforce Connector to create a single source of truth, automated workflows, and real‑time dashboards. The result: centralized visibility and transparent customer reporting, automatic alerts for roadblocks, more time spent on client work, and a 75% reduction in time spent forecasting billable hours.
