Challenge to solution

Four manufacturing pressures, and what Celoxis changed

In manufacturing, project management often gets sidelined behind operational excellence — until it can't be.

  1. Before

    Lack of Portfolio Visibility

    Executives struggled to gain a comprehensive view of the project portfolio, impacting resource allocation and prioritization.

    After with Celoxis

    Enhanced Portfolio Visibility

    Celoxis provides centralized project management, enabling better decisions with a clear portfolio view.

  2. Before

    Inefficient Communication and Collaboration

    Inefficient communication and collaboration among project teams led to delays and misunderstandings.

    After with Celoxis

    Improved Decision Making and Efficiency

    Executives report a 15-20% improvement in decision speed, and the PMO Director saves 5-10 hours weekly on reporting.

  3. Before

    Siloed Project Management

    Projects were managed independently, making it hard to track progress, identify dependencies, and allocate resources.

    After with Celoxis

    Increased Project Success

    Celoxis helped Knape and Vogt boost project success rates by 25% and reduce costs by 10%.

  4. Before

    Difficulty Tracking Finances

    Manual tracking of project financials made it hard to assess profitability and spot cost-saving opportunities.

    After with Celoxis

    Enhanced Financial Transparency and Control

    Better financial transparency enabled improved resource allocation and cost-saving identification.

Before Celoxis

The struggle with Viewpath

Before switching to Celoxis, Knape and Vogt relied on Viewpath and manual processes for project management.

What was breaking

  • Manual Processes Heavy reliance on manual processes was time-consuming, error-prone, and lacked transparency.
  • Limited Tool Capabilities Viewpath was inflexible and lacked the portfolio management capabilities KV needed.
  • Data Silos Financial data was scattered across systems, making it hard to see the full picture of costs and profitability.

I wanted to let you know that this year I celebrate my 25 years as a PMP, and Celoxis is the best project, portfolio management tool I have ever worked with. Great company, great product, great customer service.
