Case Study

Champion Industrial

TeamGantt helps Champion Industrial streamline scheduling and align office and field teams—eliminating delays with a single live timeline.

Matt Pearson, Director of Project Management

“To be perfectly honest, it’s one of the most user‑friendly programs I’ve used. Everything’s there—it’s on the screen; it’s just a matter of clicking it and exploring.”

Champion Industrial Contractors is a 93‑year‑old firm specializing in mechanical projects for food processing plants, hospitals, schools, and more. 

Before TeamGantt, Matt Pearson used Excel, Microsoft Project, Google Sheets, texts, and emails to stitch schedules together—often sending outdated plans to field crews. They needed one intuitive platform to keep office and site teams aligned in real time.

Challenges before TeamGantt

  • Scattered communication: Schedules and docs lived across email, spreadsheets, texts, and meetings.
  • Manual scheduling: Excel and MS Project files were slow to update and hard to share with remote crews.
  • No single source of truth: Project documents and updates were scattered and difficult to track.
  • Growing complexity: Coordinating more concurrent jobs made every task harder to manage.

Why Champion chose TeamGantt

Champion wanted a tool that could:

  • Act as a blank canvas, fitting their established workflows
  • Unify schedules, tasks, and docs in one user‑friendly platform
  • Push live updates from the office straight to the field
  • Offer quick adoption, with no steep learning curve

How TeamGantt improved operations

1. Centralized timeline & docs

Every schedule, file, and conversation now lives in one workspace—no more context‑switching.

2. Real‑time updates

Office and field teams see changes instantly, so crews work with the latest plan.

3. Custom boards per department

Fabrication, shipping, service, and install each have tailored boards—just drag and drop as priorities change.

4. Effortless cross‑scheduling

Inbox filters by job number let managers coordinate dozens of projects without duplicating effort.

Measurable results

  • Significantly fewer missed tasks, thanks to transparent, shared scheduling
  • Same‑day updates for field crews instead of multi‑day delays
  • Smoother handoffs between fabrication, shipping, service, and install teams
  • Portfolio‑wide visibility for proactive, year‑round planning

Conclusion

Replacing disconnected spreadsheets and legacy tools with TeamGantt’s dynamic platform gave Champion Industrial Contractors clarity and control. Now every team works from one live timeline—eliminating oversights, speeding collaboration, and confidently managing multiple projects from office to field.
