Real time logging
As it was cloud based, the responsive interface allowed remote users to log time and expenses instantly against their assigned cases
Application Development - Case Study - Time Tracking System
Overview
Our client required an application where their remote users could log time, notes and expenses against defined clients and projects.
Users were rarely in the office, and time keeping was kept on daily spreadsheets, time consumingly e-mailed and collated at the end of each day. Each of those then needed to be cross checked and invoiced, causing a bottle neck stopping users doing their day to day job.
Requirements
- Reduce administration for all users
- Allow users to log time / expenses from any location
- Conversion of time to invoices
- Approval and reimbursement mechanism
- Basic client and project management
- Reporting on user and team performance
- Migration of the existing paper based system, with decades of data

Core Application Framework
Our solutions share a core framework developed in house that has been deployed with all our applications. This core framework provides a proven, secure scaffold which bespoke applications are constructed upon.
As well as being attractive, our application design is 100% responsive so it works on any desktop, mobile or tablet without any software to install.
The interface adapts to suit its platform, so you get the same experience regardless of how its viewed, and updates to any part of the application are instantly accessible on all devices.
Unlike off-the-shelf solutions there are no subscription charges or costs per user - once the development is complete the number of users in the system is unlimited.
This allows your solution to scale with your business, and with tiered, enterprise level security, the solution can tailor access and permissions to your exact requirements.
Deployed on our cloud hosting platform, our solutions aren't restricted to use within your office. Allowing remote users, home workers or just users on the move to continue working regardless of location.
Its online location also allows integration with external services, such as workflows attached to online stores or allowing management of public facing services in real time.
Each user type has their own customised dashboard with graphs, lists, reminders and alerts
Data is visualised, patterns analysed and performance realised using interactive pie/bar charts
