No matter what size your business is, time tracking is always a good idea. Without time tracking software, it's easy for your employees to get lost in projects and hard to follow their efficiency and productivity. Below are more reasons why it’s worth considering implementing a time tracking software for your business:

Track Work Efficiently

Time tracking software can create time sheets, which makes it easier to understand your company's workflow. Moreover, you can do without the punch-in/punch-out process and other old-fashioned attendance systems, which make time tracking process more complicated and less convenient both for you and your employees.

Improved Client Billing

More than a software for tracking vacation time or employee hours, an encompassing time and expense system such as Moniroo should prove to be a trusty guide in helping to determine employee efficiency, project budget, internal cost and time off scheduling. A reliable time and expense software should also give staff a real-time visibility of all time and expense data.  

Here are top 3 reasons why it’s worth investing in a time and expense system:

1. Track Project Cost and Budget

Apart from determining a project’s budget in the initial planning stages, ensuring that the costs are in-line every step of the way is a must. Tracking progress, time spent on specific projects and determining available resources allows a project manager to identify issues as they happen and make corrections (allotting more or less time depending on the tasks accomplished).

A time and expense management system also keeps a record of tracked projects allowing for better budget and time estimates in the future having the records as reference.

Despite the weather conditions this week, summer is approaching its peak and while employees are taking their vacation leave time, many organizations find it difficult to capture time off. Managers are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of accrued vacation leave records and they also need to ensure that time is reported accurately in accordance with the respected policies regarding vacation leave.

So what if employees could request time-off via the internet and managers could approve these requests and view their department’s work schedules online? It is obvious that a time tracking software reduces the time required versus manual options and the savings accelerate quickly. Additionally, the costs of archiving paper documents will vanish.

WebSan Solutions offers a robust, out of the box Time and Expense Management System that keeps track of your employee’s time and expenses easily. Moreover, its unique project management features will monitor your projects and your costs efficiently.
