Bringing Replicon Timesheets to Hive to Consolidate Reporting at a Data Provider

The Client

• This company is a leading provider of data, technology, and marketing services designed for salespeople, marketers, and professionals.

• They were facing challenges integrating their existing time-tracking software, Deltek Replicon, with Hive.

• Despite using Replicon effectively for time management, the company needed a seamless way to synchronize this data with Hive Automate to enable better project management and data-driven decision-making.

The Challenge

• The Replicon API was difficult to use, preventing automated data transfer to Hive.

• Administrators wanted to maintain strict control over data access to prevent unauthorized modifications.

• Project managers struggled to consolidate data from two systems, hindering their ability to analyze project budgets and task durations efficiently.

• Without integrated data, managing PTO and resource allocation became cumbersome, affecting project scheduling and execution.

The Solution

• Automated CSV Reports: Utilizing Replicon's ability to generate automated CSV reports of time entries and email them regularly.

• Data Parsing and Integration: Building a system to receive these CSV reports, parse the data, and match it to the appropriate employees and projects within Hive.

• Resource Allocation Integration: Leveraging Hive's resource allocation features to provide detailed insights into time spent on tasks, including PTO tracking for accurate project scheduling.

The Results

• The automation eliminated the need for manual data transfers, reducing errors and saving significant time.

• Project managers could now access all relevant data within Hive, enabling better budget analysis and project management.

• The solution ensured that sensitive data remained protected while still being accessible for necessary reporting and analysis.

• Project managers gained a clear view of resource availability and PTO, improving project planning and execution.
