As technology evolves, so does the way that we can use it for business, and it becomes more affordable for small
businesses.
Time tracking and scheduling are key parts of a large number of businesses, while these have traditionally been
done on paper (or possibly excel in more recent times) there are now cloud-based options to help modernise and
streamline the process. One such option is Xero timesheets.
You might be asking what the upsides of using online timesheets are and is it worth changing. We have summarised a
few upsides of moving your timesheet onto a cloud-based system.
Upsides of Cloud-based Timesheets
- Practical and Flexible Scheduling – with online scheduling, employees can see their upcoming
shifts and time off from their phones. This means that they no longer need to be in work to check their
shifts, and you don’t need to send them out as your employees can check them themselves from anywhere. - Up-to-the-minute Time Tracking – your staff can clock on and off or record their time from
their phones, no longer will you need to wait on sheets of paper being sent in by your employees or have to
sort through them. By using the online timesheets, you can keep a real-time track of where time is being
spent and can run your payroll early instead of waiting on time sheets being submitted. - Simple and Effective Communication – with a well-designed system you can easily set out
notifications about any changes and let staff know about any available overtime with a touch of the
button. - Improve Visibility – in any business time is money, with cloud-based time sheets you can keep
real-time tracking of where time is being spent to help keep jobs on track and improve your quoting for
future jobs. - More Integration and Less Administration – you can integrate your timesheet software with the
rest of your management systems, helping for all the information to flow through naturally without the need
for your input.
