Murrelektronik - Streamlining Complex Project Management with Easy Redmine

Murrelektronik, a global leader in industrial automation solutions, faced increasing complexity in managing their large-scale projects across multiple departments and international teams. With diverse project requirements, their traditional project management tools were no longer efficient in balancing Agile and Waterfall methodologies or optimising resource allocation. They needed a flexible, robust solution to enhance visibility, streamline processes, and ensure timely project delivery.

Before switching to Easy Redmine

Before switching to Easy Redmine, Murrelektronik relied on traditional project management tools that struggled to keep up with the increasing complexity of their global operations. Managing multiple projects across international teams, they faced challenges with:

 • Limited resource optimisation: They experienced inefficiencies in allocating resources across projects, often leading to over-allocation or under-utilisation of team members.

 • Poor project visibility: Tracking progress and maintaining clear communication between teams in different locations was a significant challenge, leading to delays and a lack of real-time insights.
