Firm profile
Jahn is among the most iconic names in architecture. Founded 60 years ago, the studio has reshaped cities and changed minds with a group of professionals sharing the same passion for architecture, design, and technology.
Before integrating Monograph into their operations, Lynda faced tedious and inefficient processes tracking staffing hours.
Time cards were filled out by hand or tracked via Excel spreadsheets, making it difficult for leadership to maintain accuracy in tracking hours and managing staffing effectively.
Staffing Needs Visibility
The adoption of Monograph brought a substantial transformation.
The most surprising benefit reported is the ability to see and track team members’ availability for staffing needs in real-time.
This feature enables her to determine quickly whether staff are ready to take on new projects or if additional resources need to be deployed because some team members are overloaded.
Such immediate visibility ensures optimal workload distribution across projects.
Accounting can be more delineated for services to clients in order to track completed tasks. We can see how accurate we are with predictions and improve future contracts.
