Using Journyx Timesheet, Arista Marketing Improves Accuracy of Job Cost Analysis and Bid Proposals

In Less Than One Year, Arista Sees ROI of Implementing Timesheet Software

AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 12, 2006) – Since deploying Journyx Timesheet for time tracking and project management one year ago, Arista Marketing Associates, Inc.’s job cost analysis is more accurate due to the ability to track project hours against employee hourly rates. Additionally, the accuracy in budgeted hours for bid proposals is higher.

Arista uses Journyx for reports on direct and indirect labor costs per-project, and measurement of budgeted hours versus actual hours in addition to tracking employee time. Journyx is the first company to provide Web-based time-tracking and project accounting solutions that guide customers to per-person, per-project profitability.

Arista chose Journyx Timesheet over other solutions due to customer responsiveness, Journyx working within Arista’s budget to provide a quality product, and an on-line demo customized to Arista’s needs that they were able to “test drive” for as long as needed.

“Journyx has allowed us to reduce headcount, eliminate late and missing time sheets, and provide real-time forecasted hours versus budgeted project man hours,” said Jim Zamichieli, vice president, Information Technology, Arista Marketing Associates. “Any time software provides ROI in less than one year, you know that you made the right decision.”

Every employee of Arista, totaling approximately 175, is required to enter their time using Journyx. Each hour that an employee works is tracked back to a project, both internal and external. Since Journyx can be delivered as an on-demand solution, Arista is able to pull reports detailing time and project data at a moment’s notice. Arista drills down on reported hours by client, project, department, job function and user. Journyx Timesheet’s email notification functionality reminds employees when it’s time to submit timesheets and ensures that reports are pulled with up-to-date information.

“Arista recognizes the truth that we preach to our customers – that time is as critical as money. Many companies are not accustomed to allocating and investing time with the same level of care as they would with more traditional assets,” said Curt Finch, CEO of Journyx. “By investing in a time-tracking system that is a window into their real-time costs, Arista can make smarter decisions about their projects because they’re armed with more knowledge.”
