How has Wodociągi Leszczyńskie increased the efficiency of its projects?

Challenges

Wodociągi Leszczyńskie implements many investment and modernization projects, which require close coordination between the technical, planning, execution and administrative departments.
The organization of work so far has been based on several independent tools and the exchange of information through emails and meetings. Such a model made it difficult to maintain a coherent picture of projects and to react quickly to changes in schedules.

Teams working in the field, office, and administration often needed the same data at different times. There was a lack of a central system in which the progress of the investments could be planned, updated and analysed at the same time.

Purchase decision and objections

The Management Board of the company was looking for a solution that would improve cooperation between departments and ensure ongoing supervision of investment projects. An important condition was simplicity of use — the tool was to be useful both for office staff and for people supervising field work.

During the IC Project presentation, the team saw that the system can be fully adapted to the structure of infrastructure projects — from planning tenders and work schedules to reporting progress and archiving documentation. The simplicity of the interface and the ability to access from anywhere turned out to be crucial in making the decision.

Deployment process

The implementation started with an analysis of current investment planning and reporting methods. Together with the Leszczyński Waterworks team, the project structure was defined, which reflected the actual implementation cycle — from concept and planning to technical acceptance.

After the configuration of the system, short workshops were held with the teams responsible for investments and maintenance of the infrastructure. The implementation went smoothly, and users quickly got used to working in a single environment. After just a few weeks, it was noticed that planning and information exchange were faster and with greater precision.

Solutions

IC Project has become the central point of management of investment projects in the company.
All projects — from small upgrades to large infrastructure investments — were mapped in the system, allowing full control over deadlines, documentation and progress.

Gantt schedules allow you to track the relationships between stages on an ongoing basis and respond to delays. Thanks to a common communication environment, the technical, investment and administrative departments are now working on the same data.

IC Project has also streamlined the reporting process. Managers can instantly see the status of each project, and automatic notifications inform about upcoming deadlines or changes in the plan. The team no longer has to exchange dozens of emails — just open a project to know what's going on.
