Four departments. Zero visibility. Everyone missing deadlines.
Large utilities conglomerate · Marketing Comms, Marketing Ops, eCommerce
The client
A large utilities conglomerate in the infrastructure sector.
Managing complex project workflows across Marketing Communications, Marketing Operations, and eCommerce.
The challenge
Each department was an island.
Every team tracked projects its own way, with minimal collaboration — a reactive scramble that killed productivity.
- Information silos: each department tracked separately, fragmenting data with no cross-team visibility
- Deadline disasters: poor communication meant reactive workflows, delays, and duplicated effort
- Stakeholder gaps: critical people weren’t involved at the right stages, causing delays and accountability issues
The solution
One system, total visibility.
A comprehensive Airtable project management system connecting all departments while respecting each one’s workflow.
Centralized project tracking
One platform where every department logs, updates, and monitors work in real time.
Customizable dashboards
Role-specific views — each team sees what it needs, leadership sees the full picture.
Automated notifications
Alerts that tap the right person on the shoulder at exactly the right moment.
Project ROI reporting
Built-in reporting so resources go to the work that actually returns.
