Time Registration
For many Oganisations, quick and accurate registration of employees’ time sheets is a key factor in the ability to optimise project and resource management, manage costs and drive profitable behaviour. Being able to quickly and easily capture the time your employees use on scheduled, as well as odd jobs during the day – replying to e-mails and answering calls from customers, day-to-day visits and other short-term services – is crucial for increasing the number of hours being accounted for and subsequently invoiced.
