Time & Project Management Program

• Replaces paper-based timesheets
• Eliminates timesheet collation time and error
• Shows time spent as well as time remaining on each project, to help stay under quote
• Shows project status on one page, in real-time
• Shows the billing efficiency of each team member... and encourages self-management (a performance report may be produced at appraisal time)
• Capture the smaller jobs and bill the client when time has accumulated to make it worthwhile
• Helps to predict capacity requirements by providing task projections against each team member

Zen benefits

Increased capacity

With our billing to hours worked ratio improved to an average 1:1 ratio, we have increased our productivity by around 23% (without increasing our salary bill).

Self-managing staff

Because our designers can see their own billing efficiency in real time and the hours spent and remaining on a project, they manage themselves better to meet targets. Zen has also increased the accuracy of our quotes because we have better historical data and can see exactly where we previously went wrong.

Reduced administration

We estimate saving around 30 minutes per designer each week from faster timesheet entry. Additionally our administrator no longer needs to collate or check timesheets, saving many hours per week as well as removing possible error. Zen does all this at a mouse click and gives complete up-to-the-minute reports.

Practical management information

Live information on billable staff and their productivity is presented in clear table and graphical formats. Managers have the opportunity to analyse team members and their efficiency using specific tools and measurements included in Zen. Account or project managers can see the exact status of each project in real time with information very simply presented.
