What are the important features of a time tracking software?
First of all, time tracking is an additional task for every day. Therefore the motivation to use the software often lacks: "We have already got so much to do." As a consequence, entries are not made accurately. This of course causes errors in the evaluation of a project. In order to have employees accept the software, it must be easy to use. Ideally, it lets you start tracking time for a task with a single mouse click.
Timesheets for billing and invoices with a detailed activity list are common in many businesses. Project time tracking software should include these features to avoid additional software and reduce the time needed for administrative tasks. Besides these features, Xpert-Timer also includes an open programm interface to exchange data from and to ERP and CRM systems.
Todays project teams are working together on different projects the same time. Multi-user capability and also the ability for offline/online synchronization is a must. A great asset to the Windows software is the mobile time tracking app for Android smartphones. Employees can track their times on the road and immediately synchronize the data over the internet with the central server. Alternatively, they can synchronize through the local network, when they return to the office. Major advantages are: the project information is always up to date and waiting times, for example at the end of a month for billing, are eliminated.
A good time tracking software answers questions like: How much time was needed for a certain project? Was the budget estimated correctly? Where can we improve? With powerful, customizable reporting you can find the answers.
