Lysander Associates recently took on Rapport3 to help them cope with increasing demand and growth following the pandemic-induced boom in the logistics industry. 

Lysander is a privately owned multi-disciplinary construction consultancy working with an extensive and varied list of clients across the Industrial, Commercial and Residential sectors. Their talented team of senior Project Managers, Cost Consultants, Surveyors and Engineers are all specialists in their field, having worked for major surveying consultancies, main contractors and client organisations. Their work focuses on maximising opportunity and effectiveness throughout property lifecycles, from pre-acquisition, construction, refurbishment and fit-out through to hand over, sale or redevelopment.

Lysander had invested a lot of time into various spreadsheets and processes that were struggling to meet the growing demands of more rapidly changing projects. The huge growth in the UK logistics industry since the COVID-19 outbreak made those challenges even greater. So they decided to take on Rapport3 to help streamline their processes and cope with this change. 

Our Rapport3 solution is a powerhouse encompassing all your administration, project costing and project accounting needs, with handy features such as an intuitive project search, resource planning, business intelligence, budget planning, expenses, QA, team management and more all displayed on sophisticated dashboards. This will be configured for Lysander Associates to standardise how jobs are priced up and how resources are allocated.

Our Contacts (CRM) module contains a powerful dashboard, with features unlike any competitor, including a campaign management system, comprehensive integration with Outlook, the capability to manage business development tasks through mobile and Outlook plugins, and an intelligent contact lifecycle. The module will encourage all of Lysander’s staff to keep contact information up to date, whilst the Outlook plug-in and mobile app will ensure that the contact database grows and business development tasks are created and actioned by the right person at the right time.

Our HR module keeps key staff information available in a searchable database, including skills information and performance reviews, enabling you to keep track of your team as you keep track of your project. The new skills matrix available in the HR module is just one example of how Lysander can empower staff to provide data that helps win more work and resource projects more intuitively. The various dashboards and standard reports included in Rapport3 will help Lysander’s directors to make faster and more informed decisions to ensure continued success through these challenging times for our industry.

We look forward to seeing their success with Rapport3!
