Case Study: Bq (Spanish smartphone & 3D‑printer maker) achieves streamlined project planning and reduced manual errors with SoftwarePlant's BigPicture

Nike - Customer Case Study

Bq, a Spanish maker of smartphones, tablets, e-readers, 3D printers and robotics kits, needed a robust project management solution for its 3D printing department. Already using JIRA but frustrated by other Gantt tools that required many manual operations and caused errors, Bq adopted SoftwarePlant’s BigPicture to integrate planning directly with JIRA.

SoftwarePlant configured BigPicture’s Gantt module to centralize project monitoring across technical, marketing and design teams, letting managers set milestones, move and color-code tasks and use JIRA filters for tailored overviews. As a result, Bq eliminated time-consuming manual work, reduced planning errors, and now uses BigPicture daily to monitor all projects and speed up new project starts.
