Case Study: Village Gourmet achieves 90%+ productivity with Insightful

How Village Gourmet Removed Distractions to Achieve 90%+ Productivity

Village Gourmet, a specialty food manufacturer in the USA, was struggling with inconsistent productivity across its hybrid and remote teams. Although employees appeared busy, projects were still delayed due to limited visibility into workflows, remote work activity, and the main sources of distraction—especially too many meetings. To solve this, Village Gourmet turned to Insightful’s productivity monitoring and workforce analytics platform.

With Insightful, Village Gourmet analyzed app and website usage, productivity patterns, and meeting load to identify where focus time was being lost. The company introduced “No Meeting Wednesday” and new guidelines for more productive meetings, which helped increase company-wide productivity to 90–95% and made Wednesdays the most productive day of the week. Insightful also improved transparency, workload balancing, and employee engagement through data-driven reporting.
