Everything is so much more intuitive. Contracts and invoices take half the time to compile and issue.
Company Background
Mako Engineering is a consultancy firm that recently transitioned from WorkflowMax to Clarc's integrated project management platform. As the director, Michael shared his team's positive experience with the switch.
Transition Experience
Coming from WorkflowMax (WFM), Michael noted, "Our experience has only been positive. Every feature is more intuitive, loads faster. It's an absolute joy to use." He highlighted Clarc's user-friendly interface and improved performance tailored for engineering workflows. The transition process was smooth, with Michael adding, "While using the trial, the Clarc team responded very quickly with any questions. The migration went smoothly, and the Clarc team went above and beyond with the help I expected."
Standout Features for Engineers
Several of Clarc's features stood out as significant improvements over WorkflowMax for Mako Engineering's needs. Michael specifically stated, "Yes, the contract and invoice features both far exceed what WFM could do." As an engineering firm, Mako Engineering has the ability to set profit margins, allocate budgets to each project stage, and gain real-time visibility into progress data - capabilities that could prove valuable. Additionally, Clarc's shared workspaces offer the potential for seamless collaboration through file sharing, live chat, and e-signatures.
Project Tracking
Mako Engineering is considering utilizing Clarc's project timeline visualization and budget tracking capabilities more extensively going forward, with Michael stating, "We don't really use this feature in our business because we're quite a small consultancy. However, we are considering starting to use this because it looks appealing."
Invoicing Efficiency and Productivity Gains
A significant impact has been improved invoicing efficiency within Clarc's integrated platform. Michael shared, "It has halved the amount of time we spend invoicing, because we can do everything from within Clarc." Overall, he noted positive impacts on productivity and efficiency, saying, "Everything is so much more intuitive. Contracts and invoices take half the time to compile and issue. And the feedback response when looking for a project or client is very quick."
