Case Study: elite | studio e achieves 90% on-time project completion with Wrike

Hospitality Interior Design and Construction Management Firm elite|studio e Increases On-Time Project Completion to 90%

elite | studio e is a hospitality interior design and construction management firm that designs dining spaces, coffee bars, and micro-markets for hotels, corporate, healthcare and education clients. After doubling in size, the team relied on email, calendars, and whiteboards to manage complex projects that can last up to six months, which led to communication gaps, missed deadlines, and an inability to forecast the project pipeline.

They implemented Wrike as a centralized, cloud-based project management system—using Request Forms, project templates, Timeline View, and @mentions—to standardize intake, track dependencies, and replace email for project coordination. With top-down adoption and a pilot rollout, visibility, accountability, and collaboration improved, errors dropped to about 10% (mainly on rush jobs), delivery timelines became clearer, and on-time project completion rose to 90%.
