Advania | Optimizing Workflow and Boosting Revenue with 24Busy

When Advania Norge – part of a major Nordic IT company spanning Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the UK, and Iceland – needed a modern time tracking solution, they required more than just basic functionality. With 800 users across diverse IT services, they needed a platform that could integrate seamlessly with their existing systems while delivering an exceptional user experience.

The Selection Process: Finding the Right Fit

The decision to implement 24Busy (a time and project tracking software from 24SevenOffice) came after an extensive evaluation of multiple vendors. Advania's project team, consisting of key resources from across the organization, worked to ensure user needs were addressed company-wide.

– We conducted a comprehensive assessment of various suppliers before landing on 24Busy from 24SevenOffice, explains Gretland.

The evaluation focused on finding a simple time tracking tool with a modern user interface that could support their complex operational requirements.

HAPPY: Mia Gretland shares how 24Busy from 24SevenOffice has streamlined daily operations and improved workflow efficiency within the company.

Measurable Results: Efficiency and Revenue Growth

Since implementing 24Busy, the feedback from Advania Norge has been overwhelmingly positive. From time registration to approval processes, the tool has helped standardize and simplify workflows, increasing efficiency across multiple organizational levels.

– We set a goal before implementing 24Busy to increase revenue in each department. Now we're seeing positive trends in both registration quality and overall performance, Gretland reports.

The company now experiences more frequent timesheet updates and has seen significant improvements in both the quality and precision of time tracking following the transition.

Seamless Daily Integration

The impact on day-to-day operations has been transformative.

– Feedback from our employees is that daily work has become both simpler and more efficient with 24Busy. Time registration is now easy and has become a much more natural part of their daily routine, notes Gretland.

The time tracking tool proved so intuitive that Advania conducted training entirely in-house, ensuring all users received proper guidance on leveraging 24Busy's standard features for their specific workflows.

Enterprise-Level Integration: The Power of APIs

For a large IT company like Advania, system integration is critical. 24Busy's robust API capabilities have proven to be a significant strength. The time tracking system both receives and sends hours, customers, and projects to other systems including ERP and payroll platforms.

This integration creates an efficient data flow throughout the organization: time tracked in 24Busy forms the basis for payroll calculations that feed into payroll systems and invoicing that flows to ERP systems. This seamless connectivity provides valuable insights while eliminating data silos.

Comprehensive Business Intelligence

The integrated approach makes 24Busy a central tool for both time tracking and invoicing at Advania:

— We look forward to having complete APIs 100% in place, but so far we've achieved a seamless and efficient workflow where everything connects, and we avoid systems that don't communicate with each other, Gretland shares.

– We easily get insights into approved, invoiced, and rejected hours, which provides excellent visibility for conducting necessary analyses around the effectiveness and results of our time tracking.

Looking Forward: Continuous Optimization

Advania Norge continues to fine-tune the system to ensure optimal functionality, with the project team receiving positive feedback on new features as they're released. This ongoing relationship demonstrates 24Busy's commitment to evolving with their enterprise clients' needs.

For Advania Norge, 24Busy has proven to be more than just a time tracking solution. It has become a strategic tool that supports revenue growth, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision making across their comprehensive IT services portfolio.
