The Need for a Consolidated System
GSP use Flo10, which is now part of Milient's brand.
The rapid growth of the business highlighted the need for a consolidated knowledge and project management system. Flo10 was adopted to improve internal communications, collaboration, and project quality and compliance.
Enhancing Knowledge Management
One of the key challenges associated with business growth is maintaining communication and consistency across all offices and departments. Ellen Fraser describes Flo10 as a collaborative tool that provides everyone with an understanding of company activities and easy access to the right information. Flo10 has enhanced Gateley Smithers Purslow’s culture of knowledge sharing, making it simple for staff to find and engage with company standards, guides, policies, and news. The long-term plan is to transition from internal emails and messaging services to sharing most, if not all, company communications via Flo10.
Streamlining Project Management
Prior to Flo10, project monitoring was managed through complicated and lengthy spreadsheets that required time-consuming manual updates. With an average of 2000-3000 projects to manage annually, individual updates became unmanageable. Flo10’s intelligent project tracker was introduced to allow fast and efficient access to project workflows, information, and progress reports.
Ellen Fraser explained that Gateley Smithers Purslow sought a 'one-stop-shop' where all relevant project information was centralized, improving efficiency and simplifying reporting and compliance.
Improving Employee Engagement
Project Tracker has also improved employee engagement by setting clear goals and establishing accountability. Team members can track and manage their projects from start to finish, receiving alerts when tasks are missing or overdue. This system not only enhances efficiency but also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility among employees.

We were looking for a platform where all information could be accessed from one place, and Moment provided exactly what we were looking for.
We decided to adopt Moment because we previously faced challenges with planning resources.
