LE34: digital transformation case study

When LE34’ Swedish subsidiary started growing, they knew it was time to look for a professional business solution.

Digital Transformation Case Study

As the biggest survey company in the Nordics, LE34 paves the way for tomorrow’s major climate, construction and infrastructure projects.

When LE34 set foot in Sweden, a small, not integrated module system was enough. 7 years later they had grown from 3 to 30 employees (50 planned in short) and are now dealing with about 300 projects per year. Looking for an integrated system that would replace the small islands for time and expense reporting they had been using so far wasn’t an option anymore.

The Challenge

There was no automation at all, all was manual. To the point where the accountant would type the same data three times.

Because of the positive experience with Navision in the Danish headquarters, where they deal with about 12,000 projects per year, they decided to go for Business Central.

We needed an integrated professional ERP to leave behind the separate systems we had. Since we sell hours, project management capabilities like the ones from Progressus Advanced Projects were of vital importance to us.

The Solution: Advanced Projects (Progressus)

By transitioning from their legacy system, LE34 now benefits from a comprehensive ERP environment designed for project-driven businesses.

Recognising that Time & Expense reporting is central to effective project management, the system offers out-of-the-box functionality that is both intuitive and logically structured, ensuring minimal learning curves and rapid adoption.

From a financial management perspective, the emphasis has been on enabling fast, flexible, and precise invoicing. By ensuring all essential project data is captured during project creation, customer-specific invoices can be generated in just one minute, aligning with client preferences and billing structures.

The benefits of Advanced Projects in combination with Business Central

  • LE34 can now set up projects in one minute using templates that they build as they wish. It’s all about data discipline, ensuring that everything sits correctly in the system.

  • Time & Expense are key for them. They encountered no problems during their go-live phase. On the second day of using Advanced Projects, all their time reporting was successfully booked. The implementation was highly successful, with all employees finding the system very easy to understand.

  • When all relevant project data is entered during project creation, it takes only a minute to issue an invoice tailored exactly to the customer’s preferences.

  • They simply love the invoice suggestion feature, considering it brilliant compared to what they previously had. It has significantly helped them streamline the invoicing process.

  • The invoice specification is a valuable feature for outlining the hours spent per day on a specific project.

  • Compared to their old system, they now have a transparent ERP system with a fantastic controlling environment, including business intelligence tools.

The next steps

For the sake of full integration, budgeting and planning will be implemented in phase #2. This will replace the Excel sheets that are currently being used for forecasting.

Progressus Advanced Projects will also be implemented in the Danish headquarters in the near future. With its 450 employees, 23 offices and 12,000 projects per year, a challenging implementation we’re really looking forward to start with our Danish partner Elbek & Vejrup.
