Case Study: HBL Associates saves time and scales growth with Total Synergy

How HBL Associates use Synergy to stay nimble

The civil and structural engineering consultancy HBL Associates faced challenges with scaling its business due to a reliance on disparate spreadsheets for project management. This manual system resulted in error-prone data entry, a lack of real-time visibility into business health, and a significant loss of engineering time, costing the firm an estimated 44 hours per week. They turned to Total Synergy and implemented its Synergy Cloud platform to address these issues.

By deploying Total Synergy’s industry-specific software, HBL Associates gained an integrated system with linked data and single-source visibility across all projects. The solution provided the scalability the firm needed for future growth. The most significant result was a massive reduction in administrative workload, saving an estimated 44 hours per week. This gave fee-earning engineers more time to focus on their core billable and design work, improving both efficiency and job satisfaction.
