How Sports Information Services Improved Project Budgeting with Beebole
"Being responsible for a number of engineers and multiple workstreams, Beebole makes my life easier by providing easy-to-access insights on costs and budgets, current work, staff availability, and holiday and absence tracking."
Viktor Peacock
SIS Software Development Manager
Sports Information Services (SIS) is a leading global provider of betting services to retail and online operators. Known for its engaging content and commitment to innovation, SIS continually evolves to meet the betting industry's fast-paced demands. We spoke with their team to learn how they use Beebole's time tracking app to streamline workflows and meet product goals.
Overview
SIS needed a flexible project time tracking tool that could adapt to their specific needs and integrate budget, payroll, and attendance features all in one system. With a fast-paced software development environment, they lacked a centralized way to track time, costs, and staff availability efficiently. Beebole provided an adaptable solution that not only simplified time tracking but also offered powerful insights into project budgets and team performance.
#Searching for a flexible time tracking solution with budgets, costs, & staff availability
Software development moves at breakneck speed, and Viktor Peacock knows this firsthand. As a Software Development Manager at SIS, Viktor leads a team of 12 engineers and oversees the products being built. He wears many hats: ensuring systems and products meet specifications, monitoring team progress, and providing the right coaching and training to help them advance.
Viktor was tasked with finding a timesheet solution that would help him understand his team's project performance and workload at a high level. In addition to his many other responsibilities, he needed to assess and gather insights in areas like activity and cost tracking across all projects. The software needed to simplify this process without requiring hours spent piecing together scattered data. It had to provide visibility and free up time for strategic leadership and mentoring.
#Beebole: the all-in-one solution for budgeting, payroll, & attendance
When Viktor set out looking for a timesheet service, he had a clear set of criteria. As a developer himself, he cared about how the tool was built and valued smart design, adaptability, and control. The flexibility and versatility of Beebole caught his attention.
"My favorite feature is flexibility around administration as it's highly granular and adaptable to suit our current processes," he said.
Beebole stood out for its ability to deliver detailed insights into time spent on tasks and projects, as well as budgets. With real-time tracking, SIS can better understand how time is spent, compare spending across projects, and create more accurate and realistic budgets.
Beyond time tracking, Beebole also helps Viktor monitor team availability, holidays, and absences, all of which are critical for accurate forecasting and resource planning.
"We use Beebole in delivery and PMO departments on a daily basis for activity tracking. The insights gathered are then used at the end of the financial year for budget planning purposes, cross-charging, and tracking costs."
