The TIMETOACT GROUP faced a massive challenge: countless hours lost due to inefficient work logs, duplicate entries and errors that led to high costs. By integrating Tempo Timesheets and SAP, the TIMETOACT GROUP has transformed a flawed, inefficient system into an automated, accurate process. The result: over 10,000 hours less administrative work per year, 100% billing accuracy and significantly optimized budget control.

The cost of lost time and the opportunity for 350% ROI: Time-tracking reinvented and integrated
At the TIMETOACT GROUP, every hour counts – whether it's for customer projects or internal tasks. But the monthly drama of time tracking was omnipresent:
A harmless reminder lands in the inboxes: “🕒 Reminder: Please submit your work logs by Friday!”
Initially ignored, panic sets in by Thursday at the latest:
- The phantom of forgotten hours: ‘What did I actually do last Tuesday?’
- The spreadsheet zombie: Scroll through emails, Slack and Jira, trying to reconstruct their time.
- The overtime overlord: “Why are there suddenly 300 hours booked?”
- The witch of the error account: Drives team leads crazy as they desperately try to assign hours correctly.
- The billing grim reaper: “27 hours on a Monday? Explain that to accounting!”
The only solution? Real-time time tracking – but only a few make it. So the confusion starts all over again every month.
The challenge: Hidden costs due to inefficient time tracking
Our team members logged hours in different systems, often twice, to ensure that invoices and internal billing were correct. This led to:
Hours had to be recorded in Tempo Timesheets, SAP and other tools.
Incorrect bookings led to financial losses and problems with customers.
Absences and errors had to be laboriously corrected – an enormous cost factor.
Without real-time data, budgets were exceeded and teams overloaded.
The solution: a seamless integration of Tempo Timesheets and SAP
Our answer to the problem? A smart, automated interface between Tempo Timesheets and SAP. This is how it works:
- One-time entry in Tempo Timesheets – no more multiple entries necessary
- Automatic synchronization with SAP and Personio for payroll, invoices and overtime control
- Microsoft Teams notifications for instant error correction and budget control
- Integration with M365, Slack, VS Code, GitLab, GitHub & more to generate worklogs with one click
- Automatic worklog suggestions based on the day's activities
The benefits: More efficiency, lower costs
- 10,000+ hours of administrative work saved per year
- 350% ROI in three years through reduced errors and optimized processes
- 100% billing accuracy – no more lost billable hours
- Faster invoicing & better budget control
- Early detection of overload – HR can react before burnouts occur

Integrating Tempo Timesheets with SAP wasn’t just a technical upgrade - it was a step-change towards operational excellence and enabling our group-companies to jointly deliver value to our customers.
Conclusion: Time is money – we're using it better now
By integrating Tempo Timesheets with SAP, TIMETOACT has transformed an inefficient, error-prone system into a lean, precise process – and is eliminating unnecessary time drains.
