The company was growing, and so was the number of projects. The engineering department felt the urge to upgrade their time tracking system to keep up with the increasing number of projects. As soon as the department employed TimeCamp, they saw improved resource allocation, higher productivity, and bolstered cost control.

EGTC Infra is a leading civil engineering company operating throughout Brazil. The company constructs roads, bridges, airports, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities for both private and public clients. It proudly upholds the values of sustainable and ethical development to drive excellence in the industry.
In spite of its long track record of success, EGTC Infra’s Directorate of Engineering felt it was time to improve several areas of its daily operations, namely resource allocation, cost control, and productivity management.
TimeCamp has helped us identify highly profitable projects, allowing us to focus our resources more effectively. Additionally, it has uncovered bottlenecks and areas needing improvement, leading to enhanced productivity and efficiency. The accurate time tracking and detailed reporting have also supported better decision-making and resource management.
Stella Ferreira da Silva
Information Analyst at EGTC Infra Directorate of EngineeringTracking the engineers’ work hours and accurately estimating project timelines were becoming increasingly difficult as the business grew.
The Directorate of Engineering began to face escalating challenges regarding resource allocation and the bottlenecks that followed.
In short, the company’s department struggled with three priority issues before employing TimeCamp:
The engineering department needed precise data on employee hours and resource usage to enhance their allocation and future project planning.
Without a unified system to track project hours and the involvement of individuals at different stages of a project, understanding the full scope and status of ongoing and past projects was challenging.
Inaccurate time tracking led to challenges in managing costs and evaluating productivity. The Directorate needed a tool to simplify performance analysis.
After pinpointing these struggles, the Director of Engineering began searching for a robust work hours tracking system. As the company states on its website, it "always seeks innovative solutions."

TimeCamp won over the Directorate for its ease of use and the ability to add time logs at any stage of a project. As she noted, the “possibility of recording which employees were dedicated to past projects” was one of the reasons that swayed the decision-maker to choose TimeCamp.
Before using TimeCamp, EGTC Infra Directorate of Engineering’s efforts to measure project hours and track individual workers’ contributions were challenging. The situation now looks different, as Stella reported, "Since we started using TimeCamp, we've seen several key benefits in managing our engineering projects."
Benefits of using TimeCamp
Using TimeCamp made a big difference in how EGTC Infra’s engineering department managed projects. It boosted productivity, cut down on admin work, and helped identify highly profitable projects.
TimeCamp lets the department check productivity and forecast monthly salaries and bonuses for the employees. They do this by comparing the average of 175 working hours per month per user.
Furthermore, TimeCamp's reports and attendance modules cut down the time needed for admin tasks. Stella estimates she saved up to 3 hours a month on reporting by using the data from TimeCamp in their Power BI for easy viewing and analysis.
Lastly, TimeCamp also helped EGTC Infra’s Directorate of Engineering find the most profitable projects, guiding them to put resources where they get the best returns.
