Create gets a handle on budgets and business costs after creating accurate worked time reports in Timely

We’ve now just started to properly use the time budgeting, especially on large projects, so now it’s mostly running reports. We go in to run a time report on each member of staff, how long they’ve used it to create a project, whether that project is over/under the time budget assigned.”

**Sophie Warner**

**Director of Operations**

Proactive project estimations and budget control

“By capturing every hour that goes into each project, we can follow project budget spend to proactively manage the return of our work… \[and\] calculate better base hourly rates for future projects.”

**Oskari Leino**

Director of Business Control & Operations

Corsearch keeps OpEx low and makes better staffing decisions with Timely

"Reports help us make decisions on a weekly basis about team capacity and hires. Now we manage our costs better, to the point where we actually use the time that we have as a company to create value for clients."

Walpole reduced sunk time and labour costs on unrewarding contracts

"In the past, we never had 'lessons learned' after-the-fact. There was no transparency over effort put in. A project could have been costing the business more than it was making. With Timely we discovered that we lost 50 hours on unproductive deals.”

**Stuart Wymant**

**Customer Success Manager**

More time for client work.

"Timely has taken the time tracking workload from our consultants and freed their time for more important work.  

Before Timely, it took me two hours a week to track my time across all tasks, clients and projects. I had to create another time entry for tracking the time, which was totally inefficient.”
