Background

Vision in motion: tackling growth barriers head-on

For over 35 years, Kinetic Vision has been a leader in innovation, helping clients across industries bring complex product ideas to life. Known for excellence in engineering and design, the company thrived as its client base and project portfolio grew. But with growth came operational challenges that threatened their progress. 

Juggling disconnected systems and manual processes, Kinetic Vision faced major roadblocks. Financial forecasting became unreliable due to outdated tools, and their resource management system struggled to keep pace with the growing team. Month-end financial closes stretched beyond 15 days, invoicing delays disrupted cash flow, and a lack of real-time data left leadership unable to track project profitability effectively. 

For Kinetic Vision, these inefficiencies weren’t just operational headaches—they were barriers to continued growth. Kinetic Vision needed more than a quick fix—they required a scalable solution that could unify their financial forecasting software, capacity planning tools, and resource management systems into one seamless platform. Only then could they regain control and continue driving innovation.

Challenge

Turning operational obstacles into opportunities for growth

As Kinetic Vision grew, their systems couldn’t keep up. Disconnected tools and manual processes slowed everything down. Financial reporting took weeks. Projects lacked real-time visibility. Teams faced inefficiencies and burnout. Scaling was becoming a struggle, not a success.

  • Financial blind spots slowed decision-making
    Without a centralized financial system, Kinetic Vision struggled to track project profitability, cash flow, and revenue. Month-end close took over 15 days. Invoicing delays disrupted cash flow, and leadership lacked real-time insights, making timely decisions difficult.
  • Manual resource planning led to delays
    Kinetic Vision relied on manual processes to assign workloads, which led to delays in project delivery. Some employees were overloaded, while others were underutilized, increasing the risk of burnout and inefficiencies.
  • Disconnected systems created inefficiencies
    Homegrown tools and fragmented processes slowed collaboration and project delivery. Teams encountered errors, delays, and operational bottlenecks. These only made it harder to scale efficiently.
