The Challenge

Prior to Certinia, CHR faced a lack of mature workflows and systems that hindered their rapid growth trajectory, with the absence of a unified and scalable PSA system being a main concern. The process of timesheet entry was also not optimised, leading to compliance issues. In addition, CHR lacked visibility in capacity forecasting, which adversely impacted business performance and client delivery timelines. The need for customisations to suit specific needs was another hurdle, calling for a solution that could offer out-of-the-box configurations while providing the flexibility for future modifications.
