The Challenge

Our Client faced critical operational challenges that were impacting project delivery and profitability:

Scattered Data Across Multiple Excel Files: Project data was spread across hundreds of disconnected Excel files with inconsistent formats
No Centralized Visibility: Management couldn't get a unified view of project status across all locations
Difficulty Tracking Work Progress: No real-time visibility into project completion percentages or milestone achievements
Sales Order Confusion: Inability to track which sales orders were in progress, completed, or closed but not yet invoiced
Inconsistent Reporting Formats: Each site team used their own Excel format, making consolidation a nightmare
Delayed Decision Making: Manual data consolidation took days, leading to outdated information for critical decisions

Our Solution

Acrolyze developed a comprehensive planning and project management system that transformed how Empire Construction manages their operations:

  • Standardized Excel Template: Created a centralized, standardized Excel format for site reporting that all teams now use consistently
  • Centralized Data Integration: Built a unified dashboard that aggregates data from the company ERP system and all site Excel files into a single source of truth
  • Real-Time Project Tracking: Implemented automated data extraction and consolidation that updates dashboards instantly when site reports are submitted
  • Location-Based Project Management: Enabled viewing of all projects by location with detailed status indicators
  • Progress Monitoring: Added visual progress tracking showing percentage completion for each project with milestone tracking
  • Sales Order Workflow Tracking: Created a comprehensive workflow to track sales orders through complete lifecycle: Open → In Progress → Completed → Invoiced → Closed
  • Invoice Status Dashboard: Built dedicated views showing completed projects awaiting invoicing to prevent revenue leakage
