Case Study: Fujitsu achieves real-time project visibility and accurate effort estimates with Replicon

Real-time Views of Project Time for Accurate Estimates

Fujitsu, a global IT services provider with roughly 186,000 employees, struggled with inaccurate effort estimates and a costly administrative backlog caused by an internal Excel-based time and expense system. The manual process led to user errors, incomplete forms, slow verification by personnel, and delayed client billing—making it hard to compare estimates to actual costs or provide timely project updates.

Fujitsu trialed and implemented Replicon’s TimeBill and TimeAttend to gain an easy-to-use, flexible time-tracking solution with real-time project visibility and automated reporting. The new system simplified approvals, enabled immediate estimates vs. actuals comparisons, and cut approval and billing cycles from days to minutes (over a 90% reduction in billing time), improving estimate accuracy, project costing, profitability, and client satisfaction.
