WHAT KANTATA REPLACED
The Challenge
Boncom relied on several point solutions to deliver a wide variety of client-facing projects including Workamajig for time tracking and multiple project management solutions that varied across teams. However, none of these solutions provided the operational functionality Boncom needed to succeed. Before choosing Kantata, Boncom considered several solutions, including Workfront.
Boncom specializes in bridging the gap between belief and behavior through advertising, experience design, branding and behavioral psychology. Boncom partners with purpose-driven brands who are focused on creating more good in the world.
The Solution
Critical Integrations
Kantata’s OpenAPI eliminated complicated data exporting and analysis for actionable insights. Kantata’s integration with Workday tied together Boncom’s time tracking, project management and client invoicing for accurate project and financial progress insights resulting in a 100% reduction in billing rate errors.
Dependable Time Tracking
Boncom’s legacy systems provided no insights into project burn rate. Kantata time tracking provided both reliable time entry and critical data insights, which informed project and resource management decisions.
Modern, Intuitive User Interface
Providing users with an easy to use, intuitive user interface was critical in ensuring adoption. Kantata’s modern UI led to time entry and project management usage across Boncom.
