Challenges Faced
- Inefficient labour time tracking: With multiple projects running simultaneously across various sites and countries, Lamprell struggled to accurately track labour hours. This led to discrepancies in payroll, project costing, and client billing.
- Lack of real-time visibility: Project managers and executives had limited insight into ongoing task progress and resource allocation, hindering their ability to make timely decisions and adjustments.
- Manual processes and human error: Reliance on paper-based timesheets and manual data entry resulted in frequent errors, delays in reporting, and significant administrative overhead.
- Inaccurate project estimations: Without reliable historical data and efficient tracking methods, Lamprell faced difficulties in accurately estimating project costs and timelines, impacting their competitiveness in bidding processes.
- Inconsistent productivity levels: The lack of standardized task management and performance tracking led to varying productivity levels across teams and departments, making it challenging to identify and address inefficiencies.
- Complex compliance requirements: Operating in multiple jurisdictions, Lamprell needed to ensure compliance with various labour laws and regulations, which was difficult with their existing systems.
- Communication gaps: With a diverse workforce spread across multiple locations, maintaining clear communication about task assignments and project updates was challenging.
