Inspire Communities Improves Operations with ClickTime

Inspire Communities is a highly experienced owner and manager of affordable housing communities nationwide. With decades of experience in the manufactured home industry — and proven expertise in acquisitions, management and partnership strategies — Inspire Communities offers not only home ownership, but also the affordability, convenience, and security of community living.

Using ClickTime, Inspire Communities is able to more cost-effectively manage their business, and quickly and accurately report on employee time.

A More Efficient Process

With employees at more than 40 locations, Inspire Communities needed a centralized system for managing and reporting on employee time. Before turning to ClickTime, Inspire would use an Excel template that employees at the various locations would fill out, sign, and email or fax for approval. It could take days to import the results and process payroll.

“ClickTime completely changed how we track employee time,” said Inspire Communities CFO Krista Snelling. “We’re now much more efficient at how we manage our business.”

“ClickTime cut out three full days of work a month,” said Snelling. “That’s a lot of time. Our jaw dropped.”

Powerful, Custom Reports

The Inspire Communities team was looking for a cloud-based time tracking solution that went beyond simple timesheets and offered deep insights into the data. After assessing numerous options, ClickTime came out a clear winner.

“ClickTime reporting is best in class,” said Snelling. “It’s dynamic, and there are robust tools that allow me to build exactly what we need to work more efficiently.”

Inspire Communities is a unique and multi-faceted business, and it was critical for Snelling to deploy a time tracking technology that could be completely customized to fit the exact needs of the business.

“Everything in ClickTime can be customized,” said Snelling. “My account is specifically designed to fit our processes and reduce the amount of time we spend on operational and HR activities.”

Easy to Use

With a busy team, no one has time to learn a complicated system or onboard new employees. Luckily Inspire Communities was able to deploy and begin using ClickTime almost immediately.

“It’s so easy to use, both for me and our employees,” said Snelling. “The system is intuitive and well-liked by our entire team. In the past, it could be a challenge to ensure employees enter time. ClickTime even has automated reminders that make it easy for me to manage the process and keep everyone on track.”

“And it does a lot from the admin side, but from the user side it’s so simple — you couldn’t make it any easier,” said Snelling.
