Main Challenges

Lovelace Biomedical, a non-profit pre-clinical research organization, faced significant challenges in managing an increasing number of studies, particularly during the surge in COVID-19 research. With around 300 staff members spread across 15 departments, their reliance on manual, spreadsheet-based scheduling led to inefficiencies, communication breakdowns, and an inability to scale their operations effectively.
"Project Insight was a game-changer for us. It streamlined our entire scheduling process, allowing us to focus more on our research and less on managing spreadsheets. We went from being the 'rescheduling department' to a team that could confidently take on more studies, thanks to the efficiency and real-time updates provided by Project Insight." - Alicia Holk, Research Associate/Physiology Coordinator, Lovelace Biomedical

The software's ability to import data directly from Excel, coupled with powerful customization options, provided the perfect fit for their unique needs. Project Insight's real-time updates and seamless integration with Outlook transformed the way Lovelace managed their projects, ensuring that every change was immediately reflected across the organization."
