Challenge
Redrawing plans across multiple platforms
Before using magicplan, project managers at GUS Groupe LeRiverain created rough sketches and then had to redraw those sketches in another platform. Mathieu explains that this meant the same work was done twice and created unnecessary duplication across projects.
He states that the team was “working in duplicate,” which increased the time spent on documentation and added extra work that did not contribute additional value to the projects. Because of this repetitive process, the team began looking for a way to simplify how plans were created and managed.
Solution
Adopting magicplan with in-office training
After discussing options with other franchisees and reviewing the platform, GUS Groupe LeRiverain decided to try magicplan. Mathieu explains that the beginning phase required some adjustment, but that personalized training played a key role in helping the team adopt the tool.
The training was conducted directly at their offices. According to Mathieu, this hands-on approach helped the team progress faster and better understand how the system works. He also notes that the team felt supported and that feedback shared with magicplan was heard and acknowledged.
Results
Time savings and clearer reporting
As magicplan became part of daily operations, the team began saving time on project files. Mathieu explains that reports now look more professional and that both internal teams and project managers benefit from increased efficiency.
Jonathan, the lead project manager, uses magicplan every day. He describes being satisfied with the platform and notes that it allows the team to work faster and more efficiently. He shares an example of working on a loss that required drawing several units and explains that he was able to complete the work much faster than on similar projects in the past.
Jonathan also describes improvements in communication with insurers. He states that reports generated with magicplan are clear, complete, and well structured, which helps with communication and file processing.
“We are saving more and more time on our files, and the reports look more professional.”
“I use the magicplan platform on a daily basis in my work, and I am very satisfied with it.”
“The reports generated for insurers are clear, complete, and well-structured, which greatly facilitates our communication and the processing of files.”
Outlook
Increasing daily use and ongoing support
Mathieu explains that project managers are using magicplan more frequently and that feedback from the team has been very positive. He notes that the platform helps save time on projects and is increasingly becoming central to how work is managed.
Jonathan highlights the quality of support provided by the magicplan team. He describes the team as attentive, available, and supportive in helping them improve their use of the platform over time.
