I see no limit to how many we could be with Time & Project

Time & Project is a good foundation for us and we have really been able to grow with the system

Brightvision uses the product Millnet Time & Project, which is now part of the Milient brand.

Brightvision requested a time reporting system and obtained a long-term partner at the same time. From 5 employees to 60 employees around the world, Time & Project acts as the hub between all their systems. There, they get an overview of all the employees, projects, finances and sales.

Brightvision is one of the Nordic region's leading telemarketing companies and specialises in IT- and technology-intensive industries. They act as a strategic partner in the early part of the sales cycle by booking meetings, mapping markets and finding new potential customers. Since 2006, Brightvision has been a frequent user of Millnet's time reporting tool Time & Project. The need for a more efficient and structured system became clear already when they had 5 employees. The Excel that was used at the time was messy and far too manual.

- "It was only natural that we chose Millnet (now Milient) because we already had an ongoing relationship with them. They were our customers and bought our services. They had an eye on our organisation & knew that Time & Project would suit us." says Fredrik Gunnarsson, CFO at Brightvision.

Able to grow with Millnet

Time & Project has been used since the day they had 5 employees to now have 60 consultants both on site at the Gothenburg office and remote around the world. Every day, there are calls on at least 50 different projects and today it is fundamental for Brightvision that the employees should be able to easily account for their time in different projects. This is to have a basis for salaries, invoices and the complete status of the prepared budget and goal fulfilment in the various projects.

- "Time & Project is a good foundation for us and we have really been able to grow with the system. We have connected all our other systems to Time & Project because that is where all the data comes from. It is very flexible.” says Fredrik Gunnarsson, CFO at Brightvision.

More functions

As a complement to Time & Project, Brightvision has also connected the analysis tool Millnet Analytics. The numbers that the employees enter in Time & Project are displayed in a neat, clear view in Millnet Analytics.

- "In Millnet Analytics, we can always have a clear overview of how things are going in all our projects. We use it a lot for project follow-up, financial follow-up and sales follow-up. We would not have been able to keep track of our projects without Time & Project and Millnet Analytics. It is the combination that is so powerful.”

Have you looked at other options?

Yes, about 4 years ago we looked at other options, says Fredrik. We found other systems that were perhaps flashier, that had more features and settings, but we lacked the control that we feel we have in Time & Project. It feels like we have such a good grasp of where things are, we have control over the database and we have so much integrated, so we don't find the openness and simplicity that we get with Time & Project with anyone else. In addition, the system requires so little time, both internal time and consultant time, so I have no doubt that it is the most affordable option on the market for us, says Fredrik Gunnarsson.

Quick moves and a good collaboration

Fredrik also tells us that today they use all the functionality that is in the system and that they also added some fields to customise it even more.

- "It takes about an hour from the time we come up with the proposal to Millnet that, for example, we want to add additional fields, until it is in the system. It is easy to work with Millnet, they are easy going and pleasant. If we wanted to start a bigger project, they would be there and think it was fun.”

Continues to grow

“Time & Project is a good foundation for us and we have really been able to grow with the system.”
