The Challenge
Robin Criel, CEO of Lanello, had a persistent blind spot: he never really knew what his team was working on week to week. Manual time tracking meant people had to click into each task, but randomized work and context switches meant entries were missed constantly. By the following week, the details were gone. The result was a leadership team making resourcing decisions with incomplete data.
The Solution
Lanello rolled out Rize across the team. Because tracking runs automatically in the background, every hour is captured -- including the ad-hoc tasks that never get a formal ticket. Robin can now see what each team member worked on, where focus time is going, and where the team should redirect effort. No one has to remember to start a timer.
The Results
Robin now has complete visibility into team allocation without asking for status updates. The team spends zero time on manual logging, and Robin uses the data to make better decisions about where to focus. He recommends Rize to everyone who asks how he runs his agency.
“Rize is kind of fixing all those things for me: I know what my team worked on, what I worked on, and also where I should focus more on. I would highly recommend it to everyone.”
