Tracking actual time spent on projects

This gives you a clear picture of how work is progressing, helps you identify tasks that are taking longer than expected, and enables you to assess your workload more accurately. Thanks to the time tracking functionality, you have reliable information with which to analyse performance, adjust schedules and optimise resource allocation. This means you can manage projects more effectively, keep costs under control and optimise your team’s overall productivity.
Case studies
Engineering office in Switzerland 45 employees
Issues
Planning was non-existent, leading to real inefficiency.
La solution 
Peter W., owner and director of a large engineering firm in Switzerland, manages 45 employees at 3 sites.
Although its invoicing is optimised on the basis of the times reported by its employees, there is a great deal of uncertainty as to how much time should be spent on each assignment, due to a lack of coherent planning. In the end, it’s not uncommon for projects to literally explode the hours announced in the estimates… Which of course poses a commercial problem, and many hours spent are not invoiced in the end.
Thanks to Teambook and the appointment of a planning manager reporting to the management team, month-by-month planning and communication with engineers and draughtsmen have finally become possible!
