When you move from a few well-organized projects on a single site to an avalanche of assignments to manage, from the shortest to the most complex, the risk is simple: losing track. This is exactly the challenge that O2M has met by structuring its processes around a single tool. The result: greater visibility, less friction, and above all, a team moving in the same direction.
Rapid growth... and weak signals that become strong
At O2M, our mission is clear: to help companies make an ambitious environmental transition, with scientific rigor and pragmatism. But as the team grows and projects multiply, daily life becomes (very) sporty.
A wide range of projects, from flash diagnostics to multi-year support. A growing team and the creation of several regional agencies. Deadlines to be closely monitored. And what about tools? A pile of unsuitable software, too cumbersome, too much geared to sales…
Added to this were more complex HR issues: time and absence management, monitoring of workloads… And an organization that had to get out of its silo. to move away from silo-based work.
Why Furious (and no other)
Before finding the right solution, the O2M teams tested a number of different solutions, none of which fully met the team’s specific needs:
- Too many settings.
- Too focused on financial logic
- Too much oriented towards ESN or T&M (whereas O2M does 95% of its work on a fixed-price basis).
Furious stands out for its adaptabilityadaptability fast learning curve and its project-oriented approach. There was no need to call in an external consultant to set it up: the teams were able to move forward on their own, backed up by clear tutorials and an available support team.
The 5 immediate benefits of switching to Furious
At O2M, the adoption of Furious hasn’t just been smooth – it’s been profitable. In just a few weeks, the teams began to feel the very tangible effects of the change. Fewer misunderstandings, more fluidity… and above all, more time to concentrate on what really matters: projects.
Here are the 5 key benefits right from the start:
1. Three times faster time recording
It’s often the first hurdle in a growing organization: time recording, seen as an administrative chore that quickly becomes a productivity sinkhole. With Furious, the time spent per week per employee is reduced to from 30 minutes to just 10 minutes.
2. Project data centralization accessible to all
In the past, project information was scattered between departments, spreadsheets, e-mails and cascading meetings. Now, however, it’s up to you, everything in one place one project, one interface, one source of truth.
3. Smoother follow-up of billing schedules
Invoicing on time is good. It’s even better not to have to rely on a single contact to do it. With Furious, deadlines are visible to all concernedThis makes the process more collaborative… and more reliable.
Result: fewer oversights, fewer delays, more cash flow. And a few less e-mails with the subject line “Have you seen the X invoice?”.
4. Absences declared in the blink of an eye
Absence management – a potential source of tension – has been considerably simplified. The process is now seamless from start to finish, for employees, managers and the HR department alike. Less stress and more time for everyone.
5. Better visibility of workloads and schedules
Load planning was a sensitive issue. Thanks to Furious, it is now better structured, clearer and shared. While the team acknowledges that there is still room for improvement, the foundations are solid.
Anticipating peaks, spotting troughs, distributing effort: that’s what intelligent resource management is all about. And it’s what allows you to adjust decisions without waiting until you’re in the red.
Concrete changes in teams
No outcry, no “digital revolution” to get used to. The transition was a natural one for the teams, even if some changes took a little getting used to.
From now on :
- Consultants declare their time autonomously.
- Sales people track their actions and use a CRM for the first time.
- Specifications have been standardized.
And even critical KPIs (overruns, performance) become accessible at a glance.
More agile management, faster decisions
One of the major gains cited by O2M is the ability to the ability to manage projects in real timewith a clear view of projects in progress.
And that’s no luxury when you work in a sector where projects follow one another as quickly as calls for tenders.
