U.S. Foodservice™ Turns to Tenrox Timesheet for Visibility into IT Project Costs Tenrox is the leading provider of workflow-driven timesheet solutions. Tenrox, today announced that U.S. Foodservice – a subsidiary of Ahold – has purchased Tenrox Timesheet workforce management software to track and measure time and labor costs of 200+ IT projects the company undertakes each year. U.S. Foodservice is one of the leading broad line foodservice distributors in the United States with 78 distribution centers nationwide. 400 IT users located across Columbia, Greenville, Skokie and Phoenix will use Tenrox Timesheet. Tenrox Timesheet will provide U.S. Foodservice with increased visibility into IT project costs, and enable the company to analyze these costs versus project estimates. The accurate and detailed tracking of project time, expense, costs, and approvals provided by Tenrox Timesheet enables U.S. Foodservice to improve efficiencies, gain a global view of time and labor costs associated with each IT project, and quickly assess overall project costs and profitability. “Without a timekeeping system, it was very difficult to measure the accuracy of our IT project estimates, and equally difficult to manage our resources,” said Molly Fine, VP of Application Development at U.S. Foodservice. “After evaluating several other solutions, we chose Tenrox for several reasons. The system provided the best value for our investment dollar, and was a perfect fit with our immediate needs. Tenrox also offers a lot of functionality without unnecessary system complexity. In addition, the software's modular approach will enable us to add on capabilities as our needs evolve including, for instance, integration with Microsoft Project and SharePoint once these systems are deployed.” About U.S. Foodservice™ U.S. Foodservice™ is one of the leading broad line foodservice distributors in the United States, with yearly revenues exceeding $18 billion.
