Before KeyedIn, we worked as three separate groups—engineering, operations, and customer installations. KeyedIn was huge for us in allowing us to bring in engineering projects that handle product releases, operation projects that would be maintaining our existing platforms, and then customer projects that were ongoing and fast-paced. Before we had no way of tracking that. KeyedIn’s dashboards allows us to see each one of those areas separately or all at once.

KeyedIn helps us deliver more projects on time. Our techs can see their priorities and can tell where a request falls on the priority list. Response from senior management has been exceptional—they can go in and run a real-time information on the projects.
