01
The Company
Ingenium Training and Consulting
Ingenium Training and Consulting is a Limerick based organisation that provide management and leadership development solutions. Since opening their offices in 2015, the company has taken off with clients ranging from the oil, engineering, and construction industries. Their StyleUs Decision-Making Report acts as that “initial interrupter” which help uncover the best way for management, teams, and individuals to communicate with a common understanding and language.

The Challenge
Create a more efficient way to generate data
Growing Client Demand
Rapid growth across industries including oil and gas and pharmaceuticals created an increasing demand for Ingenium’s StyleUs reports.
Repetitive Manual Work
Producing reports required extensive copying and pasting between Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
Limited Capacity
Skilled team members were spending valuable time generating reports instead of developing strategy and supporting business growth.
Since opening their offices in 2015, it became evident early on that their offering was in-demand as the organisation grew at a rapid pace. One of the key tools to their unique service delivery is the StyleUs Decision-Making Report; it acts as an “initial interrupter” which help uncover the best way for management, teams and individuals to communicate with a common understanding and language. Furthermore, the results of these surveys encourage a self-realisation moment for the individuals in how they can work more efficiently.
Growth in key verticals like Oil and Gas and Pharmaceuticals meant an increasing demand for the Ingenium team and the Stylus Reports they provide. This demand on their resources meant there was an increasing amount of copying and pasting from Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents instead of spending more time on other areas such as developing business strategies. As an early stage company with a young and energetic team this meant that creating a more efficient way of generating data needed to be implemented.
03
The Solution
Built from First Principles
Treaty developed StyleUs as a completely bespoke platform designed around Ingenium’s unique service and reporting requirements.
End-to-End Automation
The software manages the complete process of compiling survey data and producing accurate, client-ready reports.
Simplified Workflow
A straightforward reporting process eliminated repetitive administration and reduced the time required to produce each report.
Designed to Scale
The flexible platform can continue evolving alongside Ingenium as its client base, team and service requirements grow.
Ingenium knew that they needed a flexible and customizable software solution to cater to their needs. As Treaty Software’s mission is “to help companies achieve their greatest potential using the power of technology”, Ingenium knew they were in the safe hands of an experienced, award-winning software team.
It is a one-of-a-kind piece of software developed from first principles by the Treaty Software team.
Working closely with the Ingenium management team and operations director, Alan Higgins, Treaty Software was able to develop a piece of software that would cut out the unnecessary repetitive admin and provide a simple, straightforward process for producing reports. The software developed is known as StyleUs. It is a one-of-a-kind piece of software developed from first principles by the Treaty Software team. From start to finish, this software looks after curating the survey reports. This is exactly what the Ingenium team required to succeed with their business model.
04
The Result
Daily growth rate of 233%
As the partnership between Ingenium and Treaty Software has flourished over the past 12 months, Ingenium has cut down immensely on the time generating reports manually since launching the StyleUs software. Therefore, the team has been able to place greater emphasis on expanding the business and the team. Without the implementation and development of the StyleUs software, this would not have been possible for Ingenium.
Greater efficiency
Prior to the creation of the StyleUs software, there was an average 30 reports created manually on a daily basis. However, since the new software there is more than 100 reports generated on a daily basis. This is a daily growth rate of 233%. In February the Stylus software it’s highest load producing 181 reports in one day as one of their clients needed the data promptly.
Growing business
The power of technology has allowed Ingenium to reach one of its business goals, which is to move staff members to higher value roles. Ingenium grew their team by 3 members in the past 18 months but were able to grow their project capacity by 7x thanks in large part to the software. The stylus software removed at least 1 fulltime resource from admin, placing them in a higher value position within the organisation.
Customer Experience Improvement
The amount of reports that can now be generated daily means that Ingenium’s clients are receiving the same accurate reports but at a much faster pace. This efficiency means that the business can further develop and handle larger scale clients, helping it to further reach its potential. As the company continues to grow, the software will grow with it.
“Where we see the technology and its advantage is in allowing Ingenium to place our people in higher value positions. With the automation of StyleUs, Treaty Software helped us to develop software which allowed us to do just that.”
