How does Deante, which exports its products to 60 countries, manage projects in IC Project?

Challenges

Deante is a Polish brand with more than 30 years of tradition in the interior design industry. The dynamic growth of the company and the growing number of projects meant that the team used multiple planning and communication tools — separate for tasks, communication and progress reporting.
Such a model made it difficult to manage the flow of information, caused duplication of data and slowed reactions to changes in schedules.

With a large number of simultaneous production, marketing and implementation projects, there was a need to consolidate all activities in a single, coherent environment.

Purchase decision and objections

Deante's design team was looking for a solution that would connect all areas of work — from planning, to communication, to schedule monitoring and reporting.
However, questions have arisen as to whether implementing one system will slow down the activities of teams accustomed to different tools. The key was therefore the simplicity of use and the ability to adapt the IC Project to existing processes.

During the presentation, we showed that the IC Project system is intuitive and can naturally replace existing solutions, combining their functionalities in one space. Thanks to this, Deante was able to go through the transformation process without interruption in his daily work.

Deployment process

The implementation started with an audit of the tools used so far in the company. The IC Project team helped map key processes and prepare a new work structure that combined the needs of different departments — from marketing to administration and production.

The configuration of the system was carried out in stages. First, project management and team communication were moved, and then schedules, automations, and reporting were implemented.
The training took place in the form of practical workshops, during which employees tested the system on real examples of projects. Already after the first week, the team noticed an improvement in the fluency of communication and the clarity of the tasks.

Solutions

IC Project brought together all the key work processes at Deante in one place. The team gained a single source of truth about projects, deadlines and responsibilities.

The system replaced three different tools that previously required separate logins and manual transfer of information. Now everything — planning, communication and control — is done in one environment.
With Gantt schedules and automatic notifications, teams respond faster to potential delays. Any change in the project is immediately visible to everyone involved.

In addition, the implementation of communication modules allowed to reduce the number of internal emails and meetings, and decisions are made on the basis of current data, not guesses. As a result, processes in the company have become more fluid and projects are better synchronized between departments.

findings

IC Project introduced a new standard for project management and communication at Deante. The company gained a single tool for coordinating work throughout the organization, which made it possible to increase the speed of operation and transparency of processes.

Replacing the three systems with one solution not only simplified everyday work, but also improved the quality of collaboration between teams. As a result, Deante responds more quickly to changes in schedules and can execute key initiatives more efficiently.

The most important achievements:
- Replace three different tools with one IC Project
- 25% smoother communication between company departments
- 34% faster response to delay in schedules

Key conclusions and customer opinion

IC Project has become a tool that brings all Deante departments together in a single, cohesive work environment. The company has gained not only greater control over the execution of projects, but also a greater culture of communication and order in the organization.
