Main Features

Automatic project time-recording for maximum accuracy

With online project time tracking from GFOS, you can easily book the productive time of your employees to projects, sub-projects, tasks and/or activities as well as locations. Automatic project bookings can be made to one or several master projects on a percentage basis, and times can also be allocated online via the activity monitor, either directly or subsequently via correction process. The booking can also be made on the time tracking software terminal or in the GFOS app. The data can then be used as a basis of accounting for controlling purposes.

Create favorites in the GFOS project time-recording software to keep the time spent by your employees to a minimum. In addition, the integration of the GFOS modules allows you to limit the hours of project time tracking to the maximum evaluated hours of time tracking software.

Further efficiency is made possible by transferring project master data via an interface from a higher-level system such as order processing. You can also transfer the evaluated project times to another system - for invoicing, for example.

In the application

Map individual project structure

The GFOS system includes an authorization concept that allows only authorized employees or project managers to use project time-recording software. This means that employees can only access approved projects or activities to book their times. Supervisors can also allocate working times to projects.

In addition, our project time tracking solution allows you to create a simple structure and adapt it to the current circumstances in your company at any time, for example by merging or deactivating different projects. The system allows you to book projects, sub-projects, tasks, activities and/or locations - according to the individual requirements of your project business. You can use the app to record project times at different locations and at any time. A pin function provides quick access to frequently required projects.

Precise controlling with project time tracking

Store project properties in the project master data. You decide whether a project is billable or not. This makes it easy to evaluate the booked project times. In addition, the times can be transferred to a connected controlling system via a defined standard interface; this helps avoid duplicate data management and errors. The ongoing calculation of hours worked ensures that the project is constantly monitored in terms of time and costs.

Generate project reports at the touch of a button or visualize various evaluations, such as a target/actual comparison, the monitoring of project progress and the timely detection of missed deadlines. Automatic monitoring of all project times to be recorded and reporting of deviations provide additional security in the process. The generation of automatic messages in the event of discrepancies between time tracking software hours and project bookings can be set at any time. In addition, further evaluations are possible via project time-recording:

Employees' project times
Comparison with attendance and absence recording
Statistics
Time accounts with project times
