Getting it wrong with manual entry timesheet solutions

Quite simply, in today's business, you cannot afford to get it wrong, because if you do, your competitors will be on you like bees around honey.

The simple fact of the matter is that if your business currently uses time sheets and timesheet technology to time software usage or to manage yours and your staff’s time, then you are wasting a heap of money on a neglected resource.

Of course pundits will often say that change management for larger organizations is a real-problem when a new software paradigm emerges, and while true, the speed of the return on investment should be one of the key deciding factors.

With MetriQ, staff are more integrated into their own time management, with a pro-active approach that actively encourages staff to be more attentive as to how their time is consumed. Over the years we have learnt a great deal about specific client usage of our software, and one of the biggest surprises to us were that implementation of MetriQ was far easier than we had imagined.

In such businesses, staff often believe that automated time capture is big brother breathing down their necks, watching everything they do. Actually, MetriQ is elective, and staff soon realize that they only need to use the software if they want to time their work. Even better, they soon realize that one of the tasks that they hate the most in the office environment is the completion of online timesheets and excel spreadsheet timesheets, which take time to complete and require a backtracking through the day to see how and when time was consumed.

For those businesses that still insist on using timesheets to record time, the data they get out is often inaccurate and misses whole swathes of billable time, most especially manual events such as telephone calls and co-worker interruptions, a breeze for an automated time tracking software such as MetriQ.
