TimeFox has replaced guesswork in time tracking with accurate information that is boosting productivity and profitability for this leading elearning company.
Etraffic Solutions Inc. is an international provider of online learning applications and content for K-12 and adult learning. Originally a small family-run business, Etraffic has grown dramatically in recent years. With this growth has come the realization that loose staff time estimates were not a strong foundation for building the business.
"We needed to track time and costs accurately both for client billing and for future estimating," explains Marilyn Foreman, Finance Manager at Etraffic. "As our business moved to a project-based environment, we discovered we had specific client, project and task recording requirements."
Two staff members who had worked with TimeFox in the past recommended this Web-based system. It was an instant fit. It takes Etraffic staff members only minutes a day to track their time, which reduces work for the Finance department. Equally important, TimeFox has taken the guesswork out of time tracking and time estimating. This has resulted in more accurate client invoicing as well as more exact historical information for future pricing.
"TimeFox has proven to be indispensable," Marilyn explains. "It helps determine time allocated to projects, track costs and determine areas where productivity can be improved. I don't know how we worked without it!"
Implementing TimeFox was easy, she reports. It took two hours to provide staff with a briefing. Due to the user-friendly software, the whole team was up and running by the end of the day. TimeFox is easy to maintain, and Etraffic employees are filling out their timesheets on a daily basis. "All of the staff seem to enjoy it," Marilyn says, "which is a feat in itself, since these are designers and programmers using the software!"

Accurate time and expense tracking has had a direct impact on productivity for Etraffic. TimeFox allows the company to track productivity to a level of detail that they couldn't achieve in the past. Staff can now see where their time is actually spent, and management can get an overall look at staffing needs.
"Our staff likes TimeFox because it's easy to use. Our managers like TimeFox because it's increasing our productivity."
The best thing about TimeFox for Etraffic? The user-friendliness and flexibility of reporting choices. Although Marilyn and her team originally expected to get a simple time-tracking system with TimeFox, they got much more. TimeFox analyzes areas such as staffing, project costs and the accuracy of time estimates. This allows the company to estimate jobs more accurately, use resources more efficiently and increase revenue.
