Podio Customization in Action
Client Example 1 – An International Team Unites
This aggressively expanding company was struggling to help it’s international workforce to collaborate efficiently together. On top of this, they were drowning in the sheer amount of manual administration that was necessary across all of their teams (in each country) and they needed a faster, smarter and more integrated way to work.
By integrating Podio with their phone systems, finance systems and a powerful document generation system, the company was able to significantly reduce the processing time of orders from 45 minutes to 3 minutes. By building a collaborative space to manage projects, they were able to work closer together on unified data, increasing the volume of opportunities they could handle and significantly decreasing time-to-close.
By developing a seamless integration of their phone & finance systems, we increased productivity and transparency, and ensured they were working on accurate numbers at all times.
Client Example 2 – A Manufacturing Company Manages Their Production
This $12M turnover manufacturing company needed a good business system to help their production lines gain efficiency, minimise waste and boost profitability.The core challenge we identified when we met them can be summed up in one word: visibility. With a 24-hour production cycle in place across multiple locations and multiple teams, they had no clear way of tracking a job from start to finish.
This caused huge stress amongst the staff, and led to a number of confrontations with clients angry about missed deadlines.
The system we designed integrated into each section of the business to help track a job as it moved around the different processes. Everyone could now see exactly where each job was at all times, and who was currently working on it, which meant that decisions could be made without leaving their desks and wasting 45 minutes chasing around the building.
This also led to a much more efficient queueing system for jobs in each department, and problems could be identified right away and the correct people notified (including actively managing client expectations) and actions taken.
The key result for the company was around capacity. By being smarter and having more visibility they were able to free capacity across their locations which has allowed them to take on more work without having to increase their overheads on production machinery and staff.
Client Example 3 – Managing a $7B Oil & Gas Project
Our client is the largest private Oil & Gas company in the world, and they approached us as they were looking for a tool to help them manage the legal and logistical obligations that come with organising a $7B project in Africa.
We developed a robust an dynamic activity management system that was based on the extensive legal processes that had been mapped out by all companies involved. Our system essentially brought the legal processes to life, creating dynamic and interactive task management, calendars, warnings and scenario planning.
The team involved went from wondering when obligations were due to being able to see exactly what tasks and activities were coming up, so they could effectively plan their schedules. Our innovative scenario planner allowed them to simple click on a scenario to activate all processes and tasks associated with it, and point them directly to all the relevant documentation for the specific tasks they needed to work on.
What Do Clients Say about Bringing Podio into Their Business?
“We were constantly having to replicate manual processes across our organisation. As we began to scale our company, this became unsustainable and we needed a way of automating these tasks.”
“Our management team now has a lot of visibility across the organisation and we can make datadriven decisions because of that. 1Digital® has worked with us every step of the way as a strategic partner to our business and we’ve been impressed by their attention to detail and their commitment to our progress.”
“If you run a busy production company, you know exactly how important it is to be efficient. Any loss of time or materials can have a huge financial impact on your company. At £12M in turnover, we were really struggling to develop a rigorous system and process that would allow us to scale to the next level.
We now have complete end-to-end visibility of each stage of our operation, from sale to delivery. Working with 1Digital® has been different than any other consultancy we’ve used – they actually deliver.”
“Before our system, we had information on spreadsheets across multiple computers and locations.
We couldn’t be 100% sure what was where and what was current. We have been incredibly impressed by 1Digital®. They took the time to really understand us and built us a completely bespoke system that really delivers. “
