Bennett Freehill is a sustainability engineering consultancy delivering environmentally responsible building solutions across the UK. As their projects and team grew, tracking time, managing leave, and maintaining visibility on profitability became increasingly complex. They needed a reliable, flexible system to give them control over their data and confidence in their business insights.

The Challenge

Before adopting Coretime, Bennett Freehill managed project and HR data across multiple spreadsheets and manual systems. This made it difficult to track billable hours accurately, monitor project performance, and ensure team members’ time was being used efficiently. They needed a single, integrated solution that could handle:

  • Time tracking for a diverse team
  • Clear visibility of project costs and profitability
  • Simple management of leave and absences
  • Seamless reporting for directors and project leads

As their business scaled, the lack of automation was leading to lost time and uncertainty in decision-making.

The Solution

Coretime provided Bennett Freehill with an all-in-one time, project, and employee management platform tailored to professional services firms. Working closely with the Bennett Freehill team, we configured Coretime to mirror their workflows from project setup to leave approval and reporting.

Key features implemented included:

  • Comprehensive time tracking with user-friendly daily entry and project-based allocation
  • Automated leave management integrated with timesheets
  • Real-time project dashboards showing resource allocation and profitability trends
  • Flexible reporting tools giving directors instant insight into performance

The system was rolled out smoothly, supported by onboarding and training to ensure adoption across the team.

The Outcome

With Coretime, Bennett Freehill now has complete visibility of their business operations all from one place. They can see exactly how time is spent, how projects are performing, and where improvements can be made.

Coretime has helped them:

  • Gain clarity on project performance and profitability
  • Streamline leave and absence management
  • Reduce administrative workload for directors and project managers
  • Empower staff with clear, simple time logging

Bennett Freehill continues to use Coretime as a central tool for managing projects and people. As they expand, the platform’s scalability and real-time insights will support future growth and sustainable business performance.
