A More Streamlined Approach To Project Management For Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB)

Our very own Business Development Manager, Becky Pemberton visited Dave Marks, Digital Lead for Project Management at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) to discuss how their approach to project management has improved since coming onboard Sypro.

Dave Marks, Digital Lead for Project Management at Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) said: “We wanted to stop doing contract management in an entirely manual way and that was about efficiency and de-risking. We wanted to do it in a way that tied in with our project tool kit philosophies which is transportability of data across systems, that was one of the main reasons why we did end up partnering with Sypro because we felt that they were very open to our approach and sympathetic and understood from the get go what we were trying to do.

Their offering in that space in terms of assisting us in being able to get at our own data, rehome it if we need to and produce the right outputs given for particular clients was better than their competitors. That’s why we went with Sypro.”

How Sypro is helping

The team at RLB needed an in-house go-to contract management solution across all project management. They were looking for efficiency and de-risking to take out manual ways of contract management and that’s where Sypro came in. Sypro helped to pull data across other tools to fit all their clients and partners needs while providing an easy to use tool across all contracts. RLB were keen to utilise all of their data and Sypro enabled this to fit in with their approach and modal.

Dave Marks and his colleagues are now able to take a portfolio of how all their contracts are performing and draw intelligence from those reports and data, analysing supply chain and underperforming projects to improve the overall performance of the company.
