The decision to start using time trackers
The company wanted to identify which areas of work and processes are the most time-consuming for their teams. This would allow them to automate and be more efficient. Additionally, it was also important to enable time tracking for each employee. This would allow them to have better self-assessments of their performance at work.
Choosing TimeCamp
TimeCamp was implemented back in 2016 in TenseApp, a Grupa TENSE subsidiary company focused on internet analytics and web design. The employees would track their spent time across different projects and optimize their performance. Thanks to numerous positive reviews regarding TimeCamp allowing the teams to better manage their workflow and automating some of the work, it was decided to also implement TimeCamp in Grupa TENSE.
The implementation process
The implementation was preceded by a presentation for the managers and employees. Not everyone in the company had a fully positive outlook on the implementation. Each error or bug during the implementation was treated as an argument against the new tool. One of the most troublesome things was tracking the time away from an employee’s computer, which resulted in manually adding time entries for work done away from the desk. On some rare occasions, there were also instances of the app crashing and having no time entries. However, TimeCamp was very supportive and offered additional training and consultations. Over time, TimeCamp has become Grupa Tense’s go-to tool both for teams and the company’s management.
