MSAE Delivers Best-in-Class Program Management with ClickTime

The Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) is a not-for-profit membership organization that provides Michigan-based associations with access to a wide range of networking, educational, and professional opportunities.

Through ClickTime, MSAE has gained a deeper understanding of their operations, improved program management, and increased employee productivity.

Powerful Insights Drive Business Strategy

By tracking time, budget, and employee cost data in one unified system, MSAE is able to more effectively manage their business and focus on what matters most — delivering on their mission to help Michigan Associations.

“The data in ClickTime shows us what it cost our organization to run a particular event or educational offering,” said said Denise Amburgey, Chief Financial Officer at MSAE. “We then use this information to help us better manage and plan future activities.”

“Using ClickTime, we’re better able to determine our staffing needs and ensure we are making the best use of our resources at all times.”

Through ClickTime, MSAE has streamlined its operations, and increased productivity across the organization.

“ClickTime offers so many benefits, it’s amazing,” said Amburgey. “It has helped us understand the true cost and effectiveness of our educational programs and events. It helps with budgeting decisions. And it’s a product that is easy for my team and for me to use.”

Improved Reporting on Employee Time

Rather than have to manually sift through spreadsheets or take educated guesses on where employees are spending their time, ClickTime enables MSAE to instantly understand which programs require the most or least amount of employee resources.

“Our supervisors can now see which programs our employees are spending their time on,” said Amburgey. “Before ClickTime, this type of analysis could take hours.”

The reports in ClickTime not only help with the day-to-day and week-to-week management of employee time, they also provide an easy way to share critical information with auditors or other organizations.

“At year end I run a report for each employee to determine where they have spent their time,” said Amburgey. “We share this report with our audit firm, and they allocate the time to each program on our 990.”

“ClickTime just makes everything easier!”

Word-Class Support and Easy-to-Use Timesheets

Amburgey and her team use ClickTime to track time, manage budgets, and report to stakeholders. Whenever she has a question about how to use the app, ClickTime is always there.

“The support team is responsive and helpful,” said Amburgey. “They take the time to walk me through new features and help us get the most out of our time tracking data.”

But it’s not just the support that makes ClickTime so easy to use. It’s the app itself. With a few simple clicks, employees are able to log their timesheets in ClickTime, which is transformed into powerful data for Amburgey and her organization.

“ClickTime is simple. It’s easy for everyone on our team. Whether we are using the mobile app to track time or reporting on program budgets, ClickTime is clear, intuitive, and built for an organization like ours,” said Amburgey.
