Solution

BeRepublic was already a customer of Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects. Three years back, when BeRepublic wanted Andrés to analyze the profitability of his 4 member team, that's when he started using Zoho Analytics. When they started importing and analyzing the data into Zoho Analytics, they realized the power of this tool and adopted it company-wide.

The company started to do performance and profitability analysis for all their teams. With data coming in and flowing seamlessly from Zoho Projects to Zoho Analytics, they had their first dashboard across departments in a short amount of time.

Powerful query tables and pivots in Zoho Analytics enabled BeRepublic to get deep insights, like how many employees are working in a project at any given point in time, hours spent per employee per project, costs involved, and effort required to complete projects. From then on KPIs became transparent and easy to track.

These dashboards are shared with 30 plus users across the company and is the main source for their leaders to monitor, measure and proactively drive projects.

"I started to analyze the data for my small team first, and then realized that I can calculate the profitability of all teams across the organization. So after some initial setup with Zoho Projects, we had our first dashboard on profitability. Soon, I liked the tool and started running dashboards to calculate P&Ls across the company."

BeRepublic's project managers started using Zoho Analytics for other analytical needs, like profit and loss, marketing campaign analysis, and more.

Now the dashboards carved out of Zoho Analytics are used as the main way to analyze the ROI of the employees at BeRepublic.

Having benefited, BeRepublic started moving all their data into Zoho, and in few months, they plan to begin leveraging Zoho Analytics for their clients, as well.

"Now we get a single piece of truth on how many hours each employee puts in project-wise, which wasn't possible earlier. Our decisions are now 200% more data-driven than before. Zoho Analytics is quite complete for its price and is a very solid tool."
