MiCiM has leveraged the combined power of Asta solutions to improve the visualisation, coordination and accuracy of its programmes to deliver exceptional blue-chip construction projects
MiCiM (Mission-Critical Management) provides end-to-end project management and construction delivery services in the UK.
Since MiCiM was founded in 2016, the company’s goal has been to provide best-in-class programme production, management, controls and project reporting.
Early on, MiCiM’s leadership team recognised that market-leading planning and project management software would be essential to deliver its end-to-end services to a high standard.
MiCiM chose Asta solutions to run its client programmes
After extensive research into the features, strengths and limitations of all construction planning software available on the market, MiCiM chose Asta Powerproject to run its client programmes.
Bengisu Uygur, planning manager at MiCiM, said: “After researching all software options, MiCiM preferred Asta Powerproject because it offers robust planning and scheduling features, an intuitive interface and high levels of flexibility.”
Asta Powerproject excelled in six key areas compared with rival programme management systems
1. Intuitive interface
Asta Powerproject is easy to use, so MiCiM felt confident its teams could get up to speed quickly.
2. Robust functionality
Asta Powerproject offers a wide range of planning and scheduling functionality and can handle even the most complex projects.
3. Flexibility
Asta Powerproject offers a range of customisation options, so MiCiM’s users can tailor the software to their specific needs.
4. Easy collaboration
Asta Powerproject has strong collaboration features, enabling MiCiM to share project data and communicate with team members in real-time.
5. Support and training
MiCiM was impressed by the comprehensive training courses, online resources and technical support available to their workforce when needed.
6. Risk management
Asta Powerproject’s built-in risk management feature allows project managers to identify and mitigate potential risks. MiCiM knew this would help its project teams to stay on track and avoid delays or cost overruns.
Saving time and improving customer satisfaction
By investing in Asta solutions such as Asta Powerproject, Asta Vision and Asta BIM, MiCiM has been able to automate planning and scheduling, optimise workflows, unify project data and use real-time insights to make faster, informed decisions.
These changes have delivered significant, tangible improvements for the company, including:
20% reduction in planning time (saving around 16 hours per week).
20% reduction in reporting time (saving about eight hours per week).
10% average increase in programme consistency and integrity.
“Together, Asta Powerproject, Asta Vision and Asta BIM have given us improved visualisation, better coordination, increased accuracy and stronger communications. This has helped us to improve project outcomes and on-time, on-budget delivery.”
Continuing to innovate
MiCiM is still a relatively young company with big ambitions to match. The planning department’s slogan is “bringing intelligence through digital innovation” and Asta solutions will continue to help it push the envelope.
Going forward, the company is interested in exploring the capabilities of Asta Connect to prioritise projects, manage risks and provide more report options for informed decisions.
MiCiM would also like to roll out Asta Site Progress to its teams to provide app-based updates that enhance communications and eliminate errors and delays.
