FastTrack Schedule Powers G+A Electramedia

Web development firm uses FastTrack Schedule to increase sales, customer satisfaction

As one of the most highly regarded web development companies in Canada, Toronto-based G+A Electramedia is at the forefront of new media development. To maintain that level of success, Electramedia employed the power of FastTrack Schedule.

Turning Projects into Profit

The challenge most commonly faced by Electramedia was how to convey to the client the value of the jobs they completed. With a client list including Mercedes-Benz Canada, DaimlerChrysler AG, and Cryptocard, the firm's average bill runs between $25,000 and $500,000 per project. But G+A Electramedia President Paul Chato found that with FastTrack Schedule, there was a clear relationship between the time it takes to execute a function, the resources required, and the cost of those resources.

"FastTrack Schedule is the greatest tool to demonstrate the value of one's work. It turns what is often voodoo into something that is empirical."

"We present the Gantt chart of the job and clients rarely question the quote. If they do, we project the FastTrack Schedule on the wall and work with the client to change the specs with a corresponding change to the schedule. Without FastTrack Schedule, we wouldn't be able to maintain our profit margins."

Flexibility Is Key

For Chato, it was the Windows/Mac compatibility that attracted him to FastTrack Schedule. In an office of 30, there was a mixture of platforms. But with FastTrack Schedule's cross-platform functionality, exchanging files was no problem.

"FastTrack Schedule is easy to get up and running fast. Load software, give person manual and stir! And it's way easier to use than Microsoft Project."

Says Chato, "FastTrack Schedule is the finest weapon in our client relationship arsenal."
