Runge

  Achieving visibility and transparency

across a global company.

One of the global leaders in provision and development of mining software solutions and advisory services – Runge Pincock Minarco – chose TX Chrono to enable project time keeping and time sheet automation through Team Foundation Server.

As a result RPM team managed to:

• Achieve required consistency between time sheets and TFS data
• Save time and money by eliminating a need to reconcile time sheets against TFS Work Items manually
• Build more accurate daily Sprint Burndown charts updating TFS Work Items through TX Chrono UI more timely
• Make time reporting much easier and less painful for the team

Customer’s Need:

RPM is a world’s largest publicly listed independent group of mining technical experts. The company operates offices in 19 locations across 13 countries and serves customers in over 118 countries.

Managing multiple on-going projects is a difficult task from various points including time keeping and billing. As the engineering team was growing RMP had to face new challenges:

Back in 2009 RPM started to look for an easy-to-use and flexible tool to replace the previous solution that involved running reports to manually reconcile time sheets against TFS and was less effective but time consuming.

The RPM team had other specific requirements that finally determined their choice of a new solution:

• Single entry of data for timesheets and TFS Work Item completed work
• Upload facility to SAP

 Solution and Outcomes

TeamExpand was very happy to provide an easy-to-work with, simple and cost effective solution to help RPM team achieve their business goals and objectives. Our experts also managed to implement a number of custom requirements including a build to export timesheet data in order to upload to other ERP systems.

Besides being able to cut off expenses associated with manual time sheet management RPM managed to minimize time and efforts spent by the engineering team on time reporting as developers do not longer need to understand what project to book time to but can simply book against TFS tasks assigned to them.
