01Starting point

How did the client work before?

For many years, Lischke Consulting had used custom-built software to manage clients, projects and consultant assignments. The system was a central part of daily business operations, but technically outdated.

Its support depended on a single person. When the previous developer was no longer available and the source code was missing as well, maintenance and further development were no longer secured. A system failure or the loss of important access credentials could have seriously affected daily work.

02Challenge and goal

What needed to be improved or achieved?

First, it had to be clarified whether the existing system could be continued and adapted, or whether a new development made more sense.

The goal was to keep the proven business processes, reduce the dependency on a single person and create a more accessible solution for the staff that can be supported in the long term.

Our solution

Lipro 4.0

After reviewing the existing system, we decided together with Lischke Consulting on a complete redevelopment. The requirements were documented in a detailed specification and used as the basis for “Lipro 4.0”.

The core functional areas were brought together in one web-based application:

01
Clients and acquisition
Management of clients, contacts and potential orders.
02
Project management
Central recording of projects and assignment of the consultants involved.
03
Resource planning
Planning of consultant assignments and an overview of available capacity.
04
Time tracking
Recording of project hours worked and comparison of planned and actual assignment times.
05
Reports and analyses
Overviews of projects, clients and consultants, with exports as PDF and Excel.
06
Users and access rights
Access to functions and data according to each person’s role.

The user interface and navigation were redesigned. Relevant existing data was taken into account for the migration to the new system.

04Result and benefit

Lischke Consulting received a newly developed platform for the core processes of project and resource management. Staff can access the application in the browser and work on clients, projects, scheduling and hours in one place.

At the same time, the redevelopment creates a basis for regulated support and further adjustments. This reduced the risk of the previous dependency and made further development of the software needed every day possible again.
