The challenge
Linkviva delivers events and experiential projects where costs move fast and margins are easily lost. Costing, resourcing and finance ran separately, so true project margin appeared only after the event.
Cost leakage was hard to catch in the moment, and resource planning sat apart from finance. The agency needed project margin visible in real time.
What we did
Kaido implemented project-based ERP that keeps event margins visible in real time.
- Project costing tied to procurement and resourcing in one system
- Live margin visibility per event, not just at the end
- Unified resource and supplier planning across projects
- Validated migration and role-based training across project and finance teams
Live project margins, less cost leakage and unified resource planning on one platform.

Why it worked
The outcome came from the discipline every Kaido engagement runs on. Scope and price were fixed and signed at the blueprint gate, so there were no surprises. Data migration was validated and reconciled before go-live rather than hoped to be right. Training was role-based and repeated until the system stuck with the team on the ground, not just in a manual. And the senior consultant who scoped the project is the one who delivered it, so nothing was lost in a handoff.
Linkviva has stayed on a Kaido 24/7 AMC support arrangement since go-live, so the system keeps pace with the business instead of drifting back toward spreadsheets.
