INEIGHT DELIVERS FLEXIBILITY, CONTROL, INCREASED EFFICIENCY

After looking at other solutions, OCL Group chose InEight Billings, which they now use for data capture; payroll, the creation of labor, equipment, materials, services (LEMS); reporting; and many aspects of billing and invoicing.

“As our Operations Services Lead, I coordinate administrative roles and responsibilities for the projects, and I also do billing for about half of our projects, so I'm utilizing InEight daily,” says Hendrickson.

Hendrickson notes that she appreciates the level of flexibility that InEight Billings provides—particularly the ability to tailor fields and reports to match client requirements—and how well it supports their integrated administrative processes.

OCL’s current workflow involves using InEight Billings for time sheets, rate tables, project setup, work breakdown structures, daily reports, and locking transactions in Billings. Then the team exports the data to Eclipse for payroll management, and to Google to create specialized project invoices.

“I couldn’t do my job without every feature that we use within Billings,” says Hendrickson. “If we’re doing time and materials work, we have the LEMS that we've generated in InEight, which the client signs, and then that becomes the backup for our invoices.”

Billings has also been useful for getting new members of OCL’s growing admin team up-to-speed quickly.

“The Billings test environment is really helpful because we can work in it without modifying our actual data. It’s great for training because we can still do our day-to-day work, and they can practice in an environment that won’t affect our actual data,” says Hendrickson.
