Case Study: Seattle BioMedical Research Institute achieves 100% audit compliance and streamlined time tracking with Replicon

Non-Profit Organization Gets Compliant with Federally Funded Audit Requirements

Seattle BioMedical Research Institute (Seattle BioMed) is a Seattle-based non-profit infectious disease research center of nearly 400 people that relies on federal grants and must track actual hours for audit compliance. Before 2010 the institute used a paper-based, twice-monthly timesheet process with double data entry across about 260 employees, creating inefficiency, audit risk and potential exposure of funding.

Seattle BioMed implemented Replicon’s TimeAttend and TimeBill, with professional services integrating the system into their UltiPro payroll and labor-distribution workflows to automate imports/exports and enable tiered project/task tracking. The change eliminated double entry, provided robust reporting for audits, achieved 100% compliance, drove quick user adoption across 300+ users, and streamlined time collection so the organization can focus more resources on its research mission.
