Even though TimeLog supports way more processes and functionalities than Ecomentor uses, especially one thing made them think twice.
“We bought C5 for the financial management and had a module for time tracking”, Steen explains.
“But it was an old version and it would have been expensive to upgrade. C5 didn’t support registration of value on work in progress like TimeLog EVM does. Many of our customers already used e-conomic and therefore we needed to find a time tracking system that integrates with e-conomic. We heard of TimeLog via our customers and talked with TimeLog's Søren Lund. The rest is history,” says Sten.
Saved 20,000 EUR on IT investment
”One of the things we liked about TimeLog and e-conomic was that we didn’t need to invest time and money in a large ERP-system to cover our relatively simple needs", Sten Glarkrog explains.
“We have a subscription agreement on both systems and everything is online - and we always get the newest, updated versions for free, because we already pay for using the system. In other words, we saved a lot of money on server solutions, which we should have hosted ourselves. With both systems, we just buy a service and we even have support included in the agreement."
Easy to set up and use
With one click you can transfer invoices from TimeLog to e-conomic and the set-up process itself was not complicated.
“We were among the first to try out the integration, so, of course, there were start-up problems, but they are solved already. If I should set up the integration today, I am sure it would be as easy as that time, if not easier”, says Sten persuasively.
Strong management tools and reports
Sten is very enthusiastic about the overview provided by TimeLog’s management reports.
“In this regard, TimeLog is a really strong partner”, says Sten
He uses the reports for internal reporting and following up on employee performance, resource estimates, illness, etc. “TimeLog is so flexible that all paths lead to Rome.
Many links lead to the same figures and the many reports provide a good overview of the performance on both employee and company levels. You don’t find that in C5 for example”, Sten ends convincingly.
