Pac Studio: Clarc specialises in serving the construction industry

"We are Pac Studio, a medium sized architectural firm based in Auckland and practicing around New Zealand. We are a practice that undertakes all scales of work and look to be involved in special projects with unusual solutions. The hallmarks of our projects are Design Excellence, Sustainability and Fun."

‍

"We used a project management tool, WorkflowMax, to try and manage our projects and billing before switching over to Clarc. The issues we had were that it was generic, not focused on the professional services sector and definitely not tuned to the use of an architecture firm. It was cumbersome, required lots of time and the reporting functions didn’t provide us with insights that were useful. It slowed us down, rather than empowering us with information."

"Clarc is fundamentally focused on the delivery of projects for professional services businesses in the building sector. So its structure is familiar, its auto mationand connectivity to Xero is clear and the reporting functions are brilliant in terms of managing a growing architectural practice. We can keep up to date on every project, track the projects and staff against our own determined metrics and have easily readable graphics we can share with clients and collaborators."

"The reporting functions in Clarc are really useful as a manager. We can see how projects are performing, where interventions need to be made, where our resources are being used. The information helps us tailor our project delivery, but also how we manage the practice as a whole. Clarc has really given us powerful insights into the way we naturally operate and where we can improve. It’s helped us find a much more streamlined way of managing our administration."
