Now
we
know
if
we
are
going
over
budget
on
a
particular
project,
if
a
project
will
be
late
and
where
to
allocate
more
resources
and
finance
ahead
of
schedule.

Manager, Desenco
Group
The
Business Desenco
Group (www.desencogroup.com) is a Dutch property and facilities management
consultancy with project managers and consultants working across five business
divisions.
The
Challenge
A joint venture (on a 50:50 basis) with Chesterton Workplace, a leading UK facilities
management company, highlighted the need to track consultant’s utilisation
rates right across the group. Consultants work across multiple projects at any
one time and the existing system could not cope with this complexity.
The
Solution Desenco
implemented Asta Teamplan
for project and resource
managers and Asta Timesheet
for its consultants.
Asta Teamplan was integrated
with ERP system,
AllSolutions, to provide accurate reporting on project costs.
Managers
can easily
identify potential
project and
cost overruns
and take corrective
action.
Results Managers
can
easily
identify
potential
project
and
cost
overruns
and
take
corrective
action.
Managers
have
a real-time
view
of ‘who’s
doing what’ and can forward plan consultants’ workloads in order
to optimise utilisation rates.
