In-House Time Tracking Feature Eliminates $30K Annual Third-Party Costs

Double

Double's internal engineer was not a good fit for developing a time-tracking feature, and they were spending $30,000 annually on a third-party service.

The team built an in-house time-tracking feature that automated 90% of invoicing processes.

Key Results
  • $30,000 annual third-party costs eliminated
  • Invoice turnaround reduced from 2 weeks to 5 days
  • 90% of invoicing processes automated
