Case Study: Nanometrics achieves a 30-hour weekly reduction in R&D meeting time with Wrike

Wrike saves R&D team 30 work hours of meetings weekly

Nanometrics, an award‑winning maker of seismological monitoring equipment headquartered in Ottawa, faced rapidly growing and increasingly complex R&D work as market demand expanded. As projects multiplied and priorities grew ambiguous, the R&D team outgrew their in‑house tools and struggled with scheduling, communication and tracking across a larger, distributed team.

By adopting Wrike — using features like Resource Allocation, Workload view, Folder Sharing, Gantt charts and My Work — Nanometrics consolidated project data, clarified priorities and kept change control while sharing the right information with the right people. The result: meetings shrank by 30 hours a week and shifted from status updates to decision‑making, deliverables fell through the cracks far less often, and the team gained better visibility and control to learn from past mistakes.
