In 2023, the employment pension insurance company\u00a0Varma<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0adopted\u00a0Scudo Pro<\/a><\/strong>, a modern cloud-based service developed by\u00a0Scudo Solutions Oy<\/strong>, to improve cost management for its construction projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varma\u2019s Development Specialist Joel Kasurinen<\/strong> describes the company\u2019s reasons for tendering a new project management system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe wanted to streamline and improve the processes related to managing our construction projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Varma recognized the potential of the joint solution delivered by\u00a0Scudo Solutions<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Gravicon<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to enhance its processes and develop new ways of working. With the new system, project reporting and monitoring have become more efficient, and project management now benefits from improved predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Smooth implementation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The implementation project of the cloud service was carried out in cooperation with\u00a0Gravicon Oy<\/a><\/strong>, where Scudo Solutions supplied the\u00a0Scudo Pro<\/strong>\u00a0software solution and Gravicon provided the\u00a0Modelspace Projects<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0software solution. The implementation was executed professionally and according to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varma\u2019s representatives, Development Specialist Joel Kasurinen<\/strong> and Construction Manager Tommi Mets\u00e4l\u00e4<\/strong>, praised the smooth cooperation between Scudo Solutions and Gravicon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe integration between Scudo Pro and Modelspace was seamless.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Varma\u2019s experts also feel that Scudo Pro and Modelspace complement each other well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that Scudo Solutions and Gravicon have worked together on previous projects \u2014 their ways of working have become very smooth,\u201d Kasurinen explains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Near real-time cost forecasting and easy access to information achieved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scudo Pro solved several challenges in Varma\u2019s construction project cost control \u2014 for example, providing centralized and easy access to project cost realization data for project managers directly through the Scudo Pro cloud service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In practice, this means that cost forecasting is now straightforward and can be done almost in real time. In addition, Scudo Pro has helped Varma streamline its work across projects \u2014 reporting, monitoring, and data transfer have all become significantly easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The best and easiest option for project cost management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scudo Solutions is a well-established player in the Finnish market, and Scudo Pro already included ready-made integrations with various project management systems (such as Modelspace) and numerous financial management software tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Varma, the solution was easy to adopt since it did not require developing internal processes from scratch. Scudo Solutions\u2019 Scudo Pro<\/strong> was clearly the best option on the market<\/strong> for Varma\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Users enjoy working with Scudo Pro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a successful implementation and Scudo Solutions\u2019 customer-oriented support, Scudo Pro has been fully adopted at Varma. Users actively utilize the system for project management, cost tracking, and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important element is the automatic flow of information between systems enabled by easy integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very satisfied with our choice of Scudo Pro!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
