awork x thjnk: 98% tracked times and 30% lower tool costs

The Challenge

thjnk used to work with numerous separate tools that were hardly integrated. Project management, time tracking, capacity planning and communication took place on different platforms – which cost time, created sources of error and made it difficult to maintain an overview. Above all, the flood of emails posed a major challenge for the flow of information.

Tool confusion
Separate systems without interfaces made efficient workflows difficult
Communication chaos
Up to 60 internal and external emails per person every day
Workflow

The Solution

The introduction of awork as a central work management tool created the basis for standardised, digital processes at thjnk. Project tasks, capacities, time tracking and communication were combined in one platform. Guest access also allows customers to be seamlessly integrated into projects – for genuine collaboration on an equal footing.
