TechBean Systems Gains Real-Time Control & Efficiency with ProjectBase

About TechBean Systems

TechBean is a systems integrator offering cutting-edge home and building automation solutions across India. With a team of 40 professionals spanning engineering, sales, procurement, and project execution, TechBean manages highly customized projects with hundreds of SKUs, tight timelines, and evolving client expectations.

Before ProjectBase, the team relied on a custom Tally-based solution and numerous Excel sheets to track material flow, billing, and project progress often resulting in delays, visibility issues, and duplicated effort.

The Challenges Before ProjectBase

As TechBean scaled its operations and began handling multiple high-value projects simultaneously, their manual and semi-digital workflows began to break down. Specific pain points included:

• Limited visibility into project-level profitability
  
• Manual tracking of 300–400 materials per project using color-coded Excel sheets
  
• No real-time updates on billing, material status, or site consumption
  
• Difficulty coordinating between project managers, procurement, accounts, and stores
  
• Inconsistent data leading to delays and missed insights
  

TechBean needed a platform that could unify its operations, reduce administrative overhead, and offer instant access to key project metrics.

The Solution: ProjectBase

TechBean adopted ProjectBase on October 11, transforming how their teams plan, monitor, and control project execution.
