Have you ever felt in the dark about the financial staus of your projects ?
This case study features an interview with James Atkinson of BlackCap Group, a civil construction company, who discusses the challenges they faced in managing project information and how Varicon’s cost management software helped to solve those problems. Prior to implementing Varicon, BlackCap Group had issues with inaccurate and out-of-date information stored across multiple spreadsheets, which hindered their ability to accurately forecast project outcomes and manage costs. With Varicon, the team was able to integrate the solution on site and in the office, reducing wait times for vital information and allowing for proactive daily cost management. The software’s contract management tools also helped BlackCap Group get paid faster and avoid missing out on variation revenue. Overall, the team found Varicon easy to use and appreciated its ability to provide up-to-date information for accurate forecasting and project management.
“Varicon is a global software system that is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the civil construction sector.”
One of the biggest challenges to the civil construction industry is not having real-time information readily available. The result of information being kept in multiple places is inaccuracy and forecasting being impossible. Knowing how individual and multiple projects are proceeding is key to the success of any business.
James has found this to be a challenge within his business and why he started working with Varicon.
James and the team have integrated the solution on site and in the office to reduce wait times for vital information on their projects.
“We love the fact that Varicon has taken a bit of time, worked really really hard at producing a software that has a bit of an Apple feel when it comes to ease of use.”
