Studio acht elevates project transparency with Easy8

Previous state

Before fully adopting Easy8, Studio acht struggled to efficiently track key operational areas such as attendance, licences, certifications, and vehicle reservations. These processes were either handled manually or managed in isolation, making it difficult to maintain accurate and up-to-date records.

Key use cases

Studio acht leverages Easy8 to gain structured control, transparency, and reporting capabilities across its architectural planning and execution:

• Project Management: Manages multiple projects and sub-projects in one centralized platform, improving visibility into workflows and task assignments.
• Budget & financial reporting: Uses dashboards to track budget data and project overviews, offering a clearer financial perspective.
• Data transparency: Seeks full visibility into reported project and budget data across the platform.
• Time tracking: Lacks a robust system for tracking hours dedicated to individual projects. Because our projects are large-scale, span multiple years, and involve dozens of team members.

Core functionality:

• Dashboards
• Reporting tools
• Financial data management

Departments using Easy8

Easy8, which is deployed on the Cloud, supports collaboration across the company:

• Application administrator / studio lead: Oversees configuration, dashboard setup, and overall system improvements.
• Project Manager: Collaborates on workflows, task updates, and progress tracking via Easy8. 
• Financial & coordination teams: Though less quantified, likely involved due to their need for budget integration and reporting transparency.

Customizations & integrations

Studio acht has tailored Easy8 to better fit its architectural workflows:

• Created custom dashboards and widgets designed for project tracking and budget visibility.
• Maintains intention to streamline reporting and reduce dependency on manual Excel exports.

Benefits & impact

The implementation of Easy8 at Studio acht delivered significant value:

• Improved project visibility: All tasks and subtasks are now trackable in a single system, enhancing coordination.
• Enhanced financial oversight: Dashboards support quick reference to budget allocations and project financial health.
• Greater data transparency: The studio benefits from centralized access to project details and financials—serving both internal decision-making and client communication.
