We work in construction and have a large team spread across the UK. We design, manufacture and install complex and tailored façade solutions globally. We wanted a system where we could manage projects and resources, but leverage the team’s collective efforts to regulate, report on and deliver programmes in a more efficient and collaborative way. We needed to plan out our work in Gantt chart format, and issue it out to our clients, but then have the full team accountable for each task, feeding back to generate progress reports. We looked for a long time for the correct integrated programme and work management platform, but none of the usual suspects had quite what we needed. Then our IT consultant recommended Celoxis. After some initial testing, we were convinced – it’s the perfect solution for our needs. We can manage our high-level programmes and granular work all in one place. Management resources have been reduced as we can focus our interventions. We can programme human resources for all projects, heatmap clashes and find gaps. It’s provided structure, efficiency and resilience to our operations. The structure of the platform itself is such that it’s very easy to use. Indeed, many users have required very little training. That said, where you do need to make customisations you can pretty much change whatever you need with the options available. The ‘Apps’. These are fantastic. For me it’s less like an app as I’d understand it, but more like a support ticket that you can customise and add workflows & changing accountabilities to. We use the standard ‘Issues’ app to assign work that’s outside of the main programme but have built custom apps that manage several processes – one of them controls the flow of information from design, to procurement, to production. I like being able to add virtual users and no extra cost. We’ve been able to add many subcontractors and manage their work too. You can build custom reports to tell you pretty much anything you want to know, from any part of the system. These are also very easy to use & don’t require training. Another thing I like is being able to export programmes/tasks as an internet calendar so Celoxis work can be shown alongside meetings in Outlook calendar. We now run the full project life cycle through Celoxis, from concept design to sign-off on-site. The only thing we don’t put through it is purchasing & detailed production planning. Overall, I would highly recommend Celoxis to anyone who needs to execute project work, especially if you have workers in different locations and you’re seeking to bring control under one roof.

Cloud-based so SSO can be configured for easy access and implementation across the business Apps allow configuration for custom requirements; for example, we built a Risks App. Celoxis team always willing to help and assist The easy-to-use interface has made it smooth to get the team to adopt and use the system The reporting tool is sufficient for requirements.

It is super easy to set up and use and has a nice, clean UI. I use it everyday to track resources and track project status.
