Integrated Resources and Timesheet management across a global project portfolio
The Indian AgriGIC was one of the Global In-house Centers/ Global Capability Centers set up by a leading global agriculture equipment OEM company with factories, offices and other facilities in more than 30 countries.
The Indian AgriGIC competed with other captive global capability centres of the same parent OEM and hence achieving overall excellence was critical to their survival and success.
Demand for innovation in the design and adoption of newer technologies in the AgriGIC’s business was growing – putting pressure on the captive unit.
AgriGIC was being run as a P&L account, and being a relatively young company, had revenue and profitability pressures. They were also competing with other GIC units of the parent OEM in other countries to grab a share of their in-house business.
AgriGIC received their orders based on bidding where other GICs of the parent competed. Hence the operational excellence, ability to estimate and submit the bid with short response time and at the same time, maintaining profitability was imperative.
AgriGIC did not use a project and resource management software leading to suboptimal management of resources.
Managing the operations team was becoming difficult as the number and complexity of the projects running at a time was increasing daily.
Whizible formed a core AgriGIC team involving the lead engineer, project manager, the VP, and an IT support to work with Team Whizible very closely.
Whizible solution revolved around three key areas that required technical support to eliminate inefficiencies caused by rising volume and complexity of the workload
AgriGIC had to follow certain SOPs as specified by the Parent company. So Whizible product experts customized all the modules and the UI to suit AgriGIC’s requirements and internal standards. Whizible was suitably customized where needed, over a period of one year following the initial deployment.
Team Whizible completed the basic enterprise-wide installation and training in 22 days and the entire deployment after customization in the stipulated time period of one year. There were no project delays.
Since the full deployment, there have been many changes to Whizible at AgriGIC to incorporate new features and functionality.
Whizible software solution is quickly scalable for a growing organization without causing much disturbance in the daily project management.
AgriGIC has been using Whizible solution for a continuous period of 12+ years, which is proof that Whizible solution was successful for AgriGIC.
AgriGIC experienced tangible benefits in all the areas listed below:
Revenue enhancement
Productivity improvement
Operational efficiency
Cost reduction
New wins from the Parent organization
