time tracking always sounds a bit like punch cards for smoking breaks. But the fact that this image is Service industry is outdated, as all those who often invest one or two hours more in their work than is written on the sheet know. Especially for companies that work in projects, the recorded working time is the essential basis for invoicing. How you and your company can benefit from ERP system can benefit from integrated time recording? Quite simply:
1. make your employees happy with time recording
Everyone wants qualified employees. However, in order to optimally utilise and promote their qualifications, you should also invest in their satisfaction. A flexible workplace is the be-all and end-all for many people today - because everyone has to go to the dentist sometimes. Nevertheless, employers want transparency about their working hours. Integrated time recording creates a basis for both.
2. make your customers happy with time tracking
With a customer about (not) services rendered Services arguing is no fun. In our experience, black and white is always the better basis for argumentation. Here too, service providers and project companies are particularly affected. However, it can also be beneficial for manufacturing companies if the working hours are recorded using software, as the activities can be recorded separately. This allows the workflow The time recording system can be used to specifically identify and improve "slow" locations.
3. make yourself happy with time tracking
Let's be honest - payroll accounting based on Excel lists or even handwritten timesheets are no fun and, if we are honest, are also quite error-prone. Integrating working time recording into a system is therefore not only "time" efficient, but also reliable and simple. The start and end of working hours, breaks and business trips are easily recorded, the billing effort is reduced and holiday entitlements are regulated. The resulting transparency also provides an overview of the estimated times for individual tasks. Unproductive tasks become visible and can be optimised.
Time recording connected or integrated ?
Spoilt for choice is the motto. There are many time recording systems. From simple input interfaces and recording terminals to mobile solutions. For the connection or integration into a ERP softwareThe choice is already somewhat limited. You can either use time recording via an interface or look for ERP software that already includes time recording. The latter has the advantage that there are no delays or errors in data transfer and the recorded times can be used at any time, e.g. projects and thus simplify the invoicing process.
Also advantageous are the Cloud ERP with regard to mobile time recording. Employees in the field can record their working times from anywhere. Special "time recording hardware" is already available for this case, which can be connected to the system via terminals using UMTS/GPRS.
