Muscatine Power and Water saves 79 hours per pay period with Journyx

Muscatine Power and Water (MPW), a large municipal utility in Iowa, faced significant timekeeping challenges. They used 17 different versions of an Excel timesheet, requiring 8-10 administrators to manually enter data into Microsoft Dynamics GP, which was time-consuming and error-prone. MPW needed an automated, accessible solution to track time on specific work orders and empower employee accountability. They turned to vendor Journyx for its project time management software.

The solution implemented was Journyx, integrated with Microsoft Dynamics GP. This provided a simple, intuitive interface for all employees, including mobile access for field staff, and verification rules to reduce errors. The results were substantial: MPW saved an estimated 79 hours per pay period, eliminated the downtime previously associated with pay period closes, and achieved relatively error-free submissions. According to an MPW accountant, Journyx empowered employees and freed administrators for more valuable tasks.
