Wrike’s automated processes — dashboards, custom workflows, and flexible functionality — increase efficiency and save time. And Gantt charts deliver a timeline view of all projects, which helps identify holdups in processes. Since implementing the platform, UNSW has seen a 60% increase in reporting capabilities and a 250% increase in communications.
“I’m so glad that we have Wrike as opposed to having information in hundreds of spreadsheets going around thousands of emails, or worse, just in people’s heads,” said David Rorke, Project Officer, UNSW. “Wrike allows us to visualize projects and centralize requests quickly and efficiently, making cross-division collaboration simpler and faster. Simply put, Wrike has been a game-changer for us.”
