Essence is operating in a competitive landscape while focusing on scaling up the business to become a national Project Management super power. This requires systems that can meet the demands of the changing industry environment while providing the highest standard of value to its clients and end-users of the projects they deliver, ensuring repeat work.

"The monthly reporting at the end of the month consumes a lot of our time as project managers - but working with 91���� helps reduce that time..."
_{- Therese Jensen, Project Manager}

Core to their services, the team at Essence are responsible producing reports on the progress and status of each project. This is a recurring compliance activity for Essence' team of project managers which consumes valuable time every month.

Monthly Reporting is critical and necessary, yet takes project managers away from driving quality on-site where Essence can maximise value to their client's budget, delivering multi million dollar construction projects.

In addition, an unwavering need for each project to maintain the highest data security standards is critical for Essence to maintain trust and assurance.
