Daily hour submissions
Daily hour submissions are a prerequisite for running a profitable practice. That is what 20+ years of experience has taught us.
Timely and accurate hour registrations lets you know the precise amount of hours and fee spent on projects so far. Knowing the precise status is the ideal foundation for planning the future and this is what lets you manage your projects.
We suggest that hours should be submitted on a daily basis. This is firstly because people typically tend to forget what they did last Tuesday. And secondly, if a project status is determined by 3 week old hour submissions, the project leader is unable to make informed decisions. Submitting hours on a daily basis, enables the project leader to take appropriate action in time. This is what makes them a business leader.
The timesheet is created with the user in mind. We know that submitting hours can be time consuming and we strive to make the process easier, by eliminating unnecessasry steps. There are numerous features that ease the process.
Attach notes directly to your hour registration. These can be made mandatory by project management, depending on the needs of the project and the client.
Add expenses directly through your timesheet. Fill in the quick form and the expense is attached to the specific hour registration. This minimizes expense mix-ups, and eases the invoicing process.
If you’ve worked on a project which is missing on your timesheet, self-allocation is possible, if allowed by the project leader.
Each individual timesheet includes an integrated and updated status of remaining holiday/TOIL.
The balance table shows your normal working hours, the registered hours and the balance between the two. This gives a clear overview of the hours spent on a day.
Build-in business rules and functions secure that the registered hours are complete and of the utmost quality. These include: only registering hours on ongoing stages, you cannot skip days, there are no unnecessary entries.

Daily hour submissions is a habit. It is a habit that you, as a practice, must implement in the organisational culture. It is a habit which cannot be purchased with any new system.
What we can assist with, however, is giving you the necessary tools to ease this new habit and cultural change. This is for instance through:
Timesheet reminders are sent directly via email, after n days.
We will submit your timesheet when you are on holiday.
