The Challenge

Scattered Teams and Time-Consuming Custom Specifications

Highly customized builds across multiple locations made it difficult to track project lifecycles and manage resources efficiently.

✦

Difficulty Tracking Multi-Location Projects

Multiple projects in multiple locations made it hard to track what part of the lifecycle each project was in.
👥

Slow, Manual Specification in Excel

Specifying customized items in spreadsheets was time-consuming and made it difficult to finish specifications quickly.
↗

No Way to Tag Materials by Location

The team needed a way to sort and tag materials according to where they were being used.
The Solution

Fohlio's Centralized Design Platform
