BDO Switzerland, part of a global network of leading audit, business services, and advisory firms, introduces Dayshape to scale and centralize its resource management processes.
Edinburgh, UK, September 16, 2024 – Dayshape, a software company using AI technology to power professional services firms, welcomes BDO Switzerland as a new customer.
BDO Switzerland joins other Dayshape customers in the BDO Global Network, in introducing the advanced resource management software. Recognizing the benefits of unifying software across the firm and within the BDO Global network, Dayshape was chosen to support its 1,700 staff members.
Matt Cockett, CEO of Dayshape, said: “We’re delighted to welcome another firm within the BDO Global Network as a valued customer. With greater process efficiency and the ability to share resources, BDO Switzerland is strategically positioned to grow and compete in an increasingly competitive market.”
The new software investment is a strategic move to improve the efficiency and scalability of the firm’s resource management processes. BDO Switzerland recognized the need to scale and centralize its resource management function to continue to win both business and talent in an increasingly competitive market. After considering several other software providers, BDO Switzerland selected Dayshape as the software partner to elevate its workforce planning and optimization.
Dayshape visited BDO Switzerland to support and celebrate the firm’s go live.
Beat Rüfenacht, Partner and Head of Audit at BDO Switzerland, shared: “Dayshape really understood our specific needs and industry requirements. We now have a solution that is tailored to those needs, provides flexible workflows, and supports our new and existing processes.”
BDO Switzerland has replaced its legacy resource scheduling tool, having outgrown the system’s limited functionality. By implementing Dayshape, the firm has already alleviated daily frustrations and enabled greater efficiencies for its people. Daniel Gwerder, Partner and Head of Product Development and Digitalization for Audit at BDO Switzerland added: “Dayshape’s advanced functionalities and intuitive, user-friendly interface were strong drivers for us. These features enable more efficient processes while improving our employee experience.”
BDO Switzerland will utilize Dayshape’s Gantt to gain a national view of resources to offer complete visibility of resourcing options. This visibility empowers resource managers to make more efficient and informed scheduling decisions at a firm-wide level. Additionally, this big-picture view enables resource managers to source and share valuable resources across the firm. Together, greater insights and efficiencies will allow BDO Switzerland to optimize resource utilization and deliver the highest quality of work for the firm’s clients.
With Dayshape, BDO Switzerland will also benefit from highly configurable workflows and automated project quality controls. With robust but flexible permissions and approval processes designed to fit the firm’s current business set-up, Dayshape will enable BDO Switzerland to standardize and maintain governance procedures across engagements.
Of the change management process Matthias Schnyder, Head of CIOO and Projects at BDO Switzerland, shared: “The Dayshape implementation process met our high expectations, and the team brought a deep knowledge of resource management to the project. Dayshape is a true partner and the support of their people has been very valuable.”
