The challenges
Empire Flippers’ director of operations, Andy Allaway, shared that the company lacked sufficient workday data to manage its 100% remote team. Empire Flippers needed more visibility into the productivity and performance of their remote teams but more importantly, they wanted this data to be easy to consume.
The solutions
Empire Flippers chose Time Doctor because it offered everything that they were looking for to help the company effectively manage its remote teams while also providing instant insights into workday activities. Time Doctor’s dashboards and multiple reporting options provided Empire Flippers with high- level summaries into what is being worked on and how long each task takes to complete, all in real-time. Having instant insights into the performance and productivity of the company’s remote employees was a huge perk for Andy.
For a fast paced company like Empire Flippers, the ability to cut down the time spent on pulling and analyzing reports has been a huge win. Andy can choose what Empire Flippers wants to do with the data and how deep to want to drill down based on the company’s needs at that time. Time Doctor’s features, including automated summary emails, have made it easier to track and analyze team performance. This has freed up more time for leaders to focus on the strategic functions of their roles.
“Time Doctor is invaluable to companies to see what is going on. I’d definitely recommend Time Doctor for a number of different business cases. For any company that has a significant operations function, particularly where people are doing the same role and can compare the stats, Time Doctor is great to get a look at what’s going on in the company and make adjustments where you need to.”
