The challenge

North Development, a South Florida firm founded in 2021, grew from a first project budgeted around $110 million to a recent project budgeted at $400 million. Its manual approach — relying on Excel, locally stored folders, and email threads — lacked visibility, created confusion between departments, and slowed invoice approvals, contract management, and budget syncing.

The solution

North Development adopted Northspyre to centralize documents, automate the invoice approval workflow, and manage individual project budgets with clarity for all stakeholders. The Northspyre customer success team led the implementation with ongoing training and Zoom sessions to help the firm see ROI quickly.

We are taking hundreds of millions in projects under management, and this is done hand in hand with Northspyre.
