​Why should I move over to Coretime from an Excel timesheet?

Excel timesheets are ‘free’ and very flexible but they do have their limitations. There is limited scope for validation at entry, so users can, potentially, enter time against the wrong job number, against jobs that are inactive or ‘dump’ time on jobs where time could be hidden. These potential errors typically need to be checked by an administrator before being posted on to a ‘master spreadsheet’ where all time against a job is recorded. This transposition exercise again introduces further scope for errors and takes time. This results in delays in producing reports and invoices. Coretime’s validation, auto-collation and posting removes all of this and allows you to accelerate your reporting and billing - saving you time, money and improving your cashflow.

​What is Accounts Integration?

Coretime offers a two-way interface with your Sage Accounts software to further remove duplication from your business – saving you time, reducing errors and, ultimately, saving you money. The accounts integration allows for Client and Supplier synchronisation (so names and addresses only need to be entered once), Sales Invoices and Receipts to transfer from Coretime to Sage and Purchases to post from Sage to Coretime.

​How do I get employees to submit their timesheets?

Coretime has been designed to make filling out timesheets as quick and easy as possible with a friendly and intuitive user interface. There is a Coretime App that allows your employees to enter time and expenses when they are on-site or away from the office. There is also stopwatch functionality within the system that gives users the ability to log their work in real-time. Automatic email alerts act as a reminder for employees if they get to a certain day of the week without logging enough hours. Administrators and Team Managers have overview screens to track timesheet completion. Finally, employees have their own personal dashboard to track how their week is progressing.
