What is online time recording?

Online time recording means that employees record their working times via the web browser instead of a fixed time clock. The times are stored in the cloud and are available at any time for the office, home office and mobile working.

Web-based

Recording runs via check-in/check-out directly in the browser, with no installation at all. This is how web-based time recording works on any device, from PC to smartphone.

In the cloud

All times are held centrally in the cloud and are available on the PC, via smartphone or at the terminal. Online hour recording therefore always stays up to date.

GDPR-compliant

Every employee records their times via an individual login. Personal data is protected in this way and recording remains GDPR-compliant.

Server location in Germany

projectfacts is developed and hosted in Germany. Your online time recording data therefore stays within the German legal framework.

"Every introduction of new software is time-consuming. However, we very quickly achieved that the "time recording" module was used by everyone."

Attendance and project times

projectfacts distinguishes between two different types of time: attendance time and project time.

Record attendance times

Attendance time refers to the gross time that your internal and external employees spend at work each day. In the past, attendance times were recorded using a time clock. Online time recording with projectfacts, on the other hand, offers a number of advantages:

  • You can record times online anytime and anywhere
  • You are completely mobile and can log in and out at any time
  • Web-based time recording works for the office, in the home office and for external appointments

Thanks to the simple handling, your employees will quickly get used to the principle. You retain a complete overview of who is currently working where.

Project times | projectfacts

Book project times

The attendance time only tells you who worked when and where. But you don't know what they were working on. This is where project time comes in. Employees can book individual parts of their attendance to projects. This gives you a powerful tool for accounting, analysis and controlling.

  • Book attendance times easily and flexibly for projects
  • Comprehensive options for analysis and controlling
  • Record and book working times where they occur

Accounting for project times

projectfacts offers more than just online time recording. You can invoice times booked on a project directly to the customer. Individual hourly rates and time surcharges for night or weekend work are automatically taken into account.

Invoicing works at the touch of a button and can be linked to any payment plans and billing rules. The software also creates an activity report for your documentation. You can also automate your project billing if you wish.

Useful tools for your online time recording

Various service functions help to make handling as intuitive as possible. These include:

Stopwatch

Whenever it comes down to the minute. Measure your working time precisely with the integrated stopwatch in projectfacts. Billing couldn't be more precise.

Templates

Simply create templates for time booking. This allows you to book time with just one click. Templates can be saved as bookmarks. So you always have direct access.

Top projects

Projects that are currently moving your entire team are also at the top of projectfacts. This allows your employees to book their time even faster. There is also no need to search for the right project.

Weekly booking

Many employees have tasks that are repeated on a weekly basis. Online time recording provides a simple tool for this. Here you can book times directly on a weekly basis.

Discover the advantages of online time recording

With projectfacts, you not only meet the requirements of the ECJ, but also create the basis for comprehensive time management in your company – including holiday, sick leave, overtime and more.

Analysis and controlling

In projectfacts, you have the option of defining individual performance times for your controlling. These can be made up of billable and non-billable times or, for example, only include certain projects. This allows you to analyse times exactly as you need them for your controlling.

This turns pure online time recording into precise online performance recording that gives you the basis for reliable evaluations.

Analyse employee utilisation

Time recording provides you with a lot of valuable information. You can see at a glance when employees are investing a lot of time in certain projects. You don't even have to take action yourself: the warning function notifies you in good time. Overstaffing of projects can also be easily recognised if many employees only book small time budgets.

Profitability of projects

The evaluation options also include the profitability of projects as a whole. With contribution margins and target/actual comparisons, you can see how your projects are doing at any time. You always have an overview of how efficiently your projects are progressing. Time recording provides you with an effective tool for keeping track of the status of your projects.
