Case Study: Howden Technology achieves faster reporting and smarter resource management with Smartsheet

Howden Technology cuts reporting from 30–40 minutes per slide to under 10 with Smartsheet

Howden Technology, an engineering company in the air and gas handling industry, faced challenges with global project collaboration among its 6,000+ employees. Using scattered Excel files led to version confusion and outdated data, while manual reporting and resource management were slow and inefficient. Seeking a unified platform, they turned to Smartsheet's Intelligent Work Management Platform, including its Resource Management capability.

The solution from Smartsheet created a common source of truth, standardizing data and offering flexible project views like Gantt and Kanban. Smartsheet automated reporting, cutting slide preparation time from 40 to under 10 minutes, and provided clear resource visibility for better workload balancing. The implementation also fostered a stronger collaborative culture, notably through a COVID-19 dashboard, leading the team to make Smartsheet their default tool for new projects.
