“BrightWork was able to come in and give us exactly what we wanted and what we needed as far as reports and project management. We have been very happy with BrightWork and give them the highest grade possible.”
Hanns Schweis, IT Manager, Thermal Dynamics
Problem
Pre-BrightWork, Thermal Dynamics was very unorganized and often one person did not know what another person was doing. To create simple reports was very time consuming because information was stored in several different places like email and Excel files.
Solution
Thermal Dynamics started with SharePoint, and then looked for a solution that could extend SharePoint for project management and fit their business processes. BrightWork was able to customize a solution around their APQP system, which is specific to the automotive industry. They now manage all on-going projects with BrightWork and use the system as a one stop shop for reporting and compliance for the very strict APQP process.
