Case Study: Butterfly achieves 20% more billable project time and 16% higher utilization with Kantata (formerly Mavenlink)

Butterfly Increases Billable Time by 20% with Mavenlink

Butterfly is an award‑winning Melbourne digital agency (since 2006) that delivers strategy, design and development across more than 3,000 projects. Relying on a homegrown system and spreadsheets created cumbersome time entry, slow manual reporting, limited project planning and data latency—with team members restricted to 8‑hour bookings and leaders lacking confidence in reporting accuracy.

Switching to Mavenlink gave Butterfly flexible, user‑friendly time tracking, customizable Insights reports and a valuable Jira integration, enabling faster planning, accurate budget tracking and clear capacity forecasting. The changes delivered immediate business impact: a 20% increase in billable project time and a 16% rise in productive utilization, plus quicker insights for better decisions.
