McKinney York Architects
's full story here.
Background
Founded in 1983, McKinney York Architects is a full-service architectural firm based in Austin, Texas. With a wide range of experience in projects spanning multiple industries, the firm has earned a reputation for high-quality design and client-focused solutions. Ginger Bradfield, Financial Manager, and Associate, has been with the firm through significant growth and modernization, particularly in how they manage staffing and project efficiency.
The Challenge
Before 8868体育, McKinney York managed their projects through an intricate and manual process involving multiple spreadsheets, and dozens of tabs that required constant updating by multiple team members. According to Ginger Bradfield, 鈥淭he spreadsheets were never current, and any changes had to be made manually, which consumed a lot of time and often led to errors.鈥� The firm used Ajera for some data exports, but this information quickly became outdated, leading to inefficient staffing decisions and delayed project updates.
The complexity of their spreadsheet system also made it difficult to plan for larger, long-term projects and forecast future staffing needs. McKinney York needed a solution that would provide real-time data, allow for better project planning, and improve profitability.

The Solution
After implementing 8868体育, McKinney York was able to significantly streamline their project and resource management. 鈥�8868体育鈥檚 integration feeds information directly from Ajera, allowing project managers to manage their projects in real-time,鈥� said Bradfield. The software has enabled them to forecast staffing needs, plan for long-term projects, and ensure that projects stay within budget.
One of the key benefits 8868体育 provided was the ability to eliminate the manual spreadsheets and reduce administrative overhead. 鈥淣ow, if I make a change in 8868体育, it updates everywhere,鈥� said Bradfield. This has not only saved time but also greatly reduced the potential for human error.
