Track fieldwork accurately, stay on top of project costs, and bill with confidence
Coretime helps archaeology teams capture time across excavations, surveys, lab work, and reporting, while improving visibility over budgets, expenses, and project performance.
Where archaeology teams lose time, visibility, and budget control
When work is split across excavation sites, surveys, lab analysis, reporting, and admin, it becomes harder to capture time accurately, stay on top of costs, and keep projects commercially on track.
Billable time gets missed
Capture hours against clients, properties, jobs, or tasks, whether the work happens on site, on the road, or in the office.
Expenses and mileage are hard to keep on top of
Record costs as they happen and link them directly to the right project or client, without chasing paper trails later.
Project performance is difficult to see clearly
Stay closer to budgets, time spent, and profitability with live visibility across active work.

Coretime is one of the most important packages within the business and is based on an annual subscription with full cloud access. This is a truly fantastic system and very affordable for a company of our size, it’s a fraction of the cost of some systems such as Autodesk and Microsoft.

For us, the main benefit is that our system is now more user-friendly in terms of project managers being able to access information, such as seeing how a project is performing against budget. They can analyse how time is being spent and what proportion of it is earning fees – it’s easy to translate.
