Harringtons PLC
Civil Engineering specialist
The problem
Harringtons was growing fast – turnover up 30% in a year – with 300+ people spread across concurrent sites for John Sisk, Galliford Try, Willmott Dixon and Kier. Paper-based processes could not keep pace with 22,000+ monthly timesheet approvals.
“It's a really strong system. Once it's in place, the benefits are clear. We've reduced a lot of manual admin and duplication, meaning our teams can focus more on managing the work rather than chasing paperwork.”
Scott Carr - Director of HSQE & Compliance
Harringtons PLC
