Studio Qast

Studio Qast specializes in crafting custom-made cabinets, including clothing closets, storage units, sliding door wardrobes, and walk-in closets. Their mission is to make tailor-made cabinets accessible to everyone, combining craftsmanship with technology to deliver high-quality, affordable solutions. ​

The Challenge 

As Studio Qast expanded, they faced challenges in managing their operations efficiently:

Limited Workflow Visibility: Difficulty in tracking incoming orders, production schedules, and installations led to operational inefficiencies.​

Fragmented Processes: Lack of a unified system to manage customer inquiries, design specifications, and production details resulted in communication gaps.​

Scalability Concerns: With ambitious growth plans, Studio Qast needed streamlined processes to maintain quality while scaling operations.

The Solution

To tackle these challenges, Studio Qast implemented Asana as their centralized work management tool:

Centralized Project Management: Utilizing Asana to track customer inquiries, design approvals, production schedules, and installation timelines, providing a unified view of all operations.​

Custom Workflows: Tailored workflows were created in Asana to manage the unique aspects of custom cabinet design and production, ensuring that every project met specific client requirements.

Team Collaboration: Enhancing communication among design, production, and installation teams through shared Asana boards, ensuring alignment at every project stage.​

Training and Support: Team members received training on Asana's features, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and operational efficiency.
