Case Study: The RealReal achieves more focus time and faster scheduling with Clockwise

How Clockwise helps The RealReal move faster while staying accurate

The RealReal, a luxury consignment e-commerce company, needed a better way to manage the heavy scheduling demands facing its Engineering team while keeping focus time intact. Director of Engineering Jordi Adame and his distributed team were juggling frequent one-on-ones, standups, retrospectives, and time-zone differences while also handling a high-volume authentication and publishing workflow for thousands of unique items each day. Clockwise helped solve that challenge with its scheduling and calendar automation product.

By using Clockwise, The RealReal’s Engineering organization was able to automate meeting placement, reduce conflicts, and protect long blocks of focus time for deep work. The company reports more than 4,500 hours of Focus Time created and over 2,700 conflicts resolved, allowing Jordi and his team to spend less time rescheduling and more time on real engineering work.
