Challenge to solution

Six pressures on delivery, and what Celoxis changed

Faced with growing complexity across projects, people, and financials, SweetRush turned to Celoxis.

  1. Before

    Project Scheduling Complexity

    Juggling multiple projects, resource constraints, and shifting priorities made scheduling complex and time-consuming.

    After with Celoxis

    Streamlined Project Scheduling

    Centralized scheduling across all projects and teams, with real-time visibility into resources and timelines, simplified planning and execution.

  2. Before

    Team & Client Collaboration

    Dispersed teams, multiple tools, and limited visibility made collaboration with internal teams and clients difficult.

    After with Celoxis

    Improved Collaboration

    A single platform brought teams and clients together with greater transparency, making it easier to share information, track progress, and keep everyone aligned.

  3. Before

    Billing Leakage

    Billable work was sometimes missed or under-reported, leading to revenue leakage and time lost in manual tracking.

    After with Celoxis

    Improved Billing Accuracy

    Time tracking and project visibility ensured all billable work was captured, reducing leakage and improving accuracy.

  4. Before

    Project Selection

    Without a clear view of project data, it was harder to prioritize opportunities and confidently commit resources to the right work.

    After with Celoxis

    Optimized Project Portfolio

    Centralized data and real-time insights made it easier to evaluate opportunities and select projects that align with strategic goals.

  5. Before

    Accurate Cost Tracking

    Tracking actual costs across projects was challenging, making it difficult to understand margins in real time.

    After with Celoxis

    Margin Boost

    Real-time cost tracking provided better visibility into project profitability, helping the team stay on top of budgets and margins.

  6. Before

    Executive Reporting

    Creating accurate, up-to-date reports for stakeholders was manual and time-intensive, limiting visibility into business performance.

    After with Celoxis

    Simplified Reports and Accurate Reporting

    Real-time dashboards and automated reporting made it easy to share accurate, up-to-date insights with executives, improving visibility across the business.

Before Celoxis

The struggle with Microsoft Project & spreadsheets

Like many growing professional services organizations, SweetRush relied on Microsoft Project and spreadsheets to plan, track, and report on its work. As the business scaled, this approach became increasingly complex and difficult to manage.

Disparate tools, manual updates, and limited visibility made it hard to get a clear, real-time view of project health, resource capacity, and financial performance. What worked in the early days no longer met the needs of a larger, more dynamic organization.

What was breaking

  • Siloed project data across multiple tools and spreadsheets
  • Time-consuming manual updates and inconsistent reporting
  • Limited visibility into resource capacity and project status
  • Difficulty tracking financial performance in real time
  • Increased complexity as the business scaled
  • It was clear they needed one connected system.

The reporting is the best that I've seen and is definitely one of the strongest muscles of Celoxis. Celoxis is truly a powerhouse when it comes to project management, and it is a great tool for planning and organizing project-related efforts.”
