's full story here.
Background
Founded in 1983, McKinney York Architects is a full-service architectural firm based in Austin, Texas. With a wide range of experience in projects spanning multiple industries, the firm has earned a reputation for high-quality design and client-focused solutions. Ginger Bradfield, Financial Manager, and Associate, has been with the firm through significant growth and modernization, particularly in how they manage staffing and project efficiency.
The Challenge
Before Mosaic, McKinney York managed their projects through an intricate and manual process involving multiple spreadsheets, and dozens of tabs that required constant updating by multiple team members. According to Ginger Bradfield, “The spreadsheets were never current, and any changes had to be made manually, which consumed a lot of time and often led to errors.” The firm used Ajera for some data exports, but this information quickly became outdated, leading to inefficient staffing decisions and delayed project updates.
The complexity of their spreadsheet system also made it difficult to plan for larger, long-term projects and forecast future staffing needs. McKinney York needed a solution that would provide real-time data, allow for better project planning, and improve profitability.
The Solution
After implementing Mosaic, McKinney York was able to significantly streamline their project and resource management. “Mosaic’s integration feeds information directly from Ajera, allowing project managers to manage their projects in real-time,” said Bradfield. The software has enabled them to forecast staffing needs, plan for long-term projects, and ensure that projects stay within budget.
One of the key benefits Mosaic provided was the ability to eliminate the manual spreadsheets and reduce administrative overhead. “Now, if I make a change in Mosaic, it updates everywhere,” said Bradfield. This has not only saved time but also greatly reduced the potential for human error.
The Results
Since adopting Mosaic in 2022, McKinney York Architects has experienced transformative improvements across their operations. By leveraging Mosaic’s intuitive features, the firm has optimized project planning, resource management, and long-term forecasting, resulting in significant growth and increased profitability.

This increase in revenue is typically all profit, and is a core Mosaic KPI and tracked as part of our services.

According to Bradfield, “Mosaic has paid for itself five times over. The ability to plan ahead and stay proactive has been a game-changer for our firm, keeping us on track for growth and profitability.”
