Where construction projects lose time and money

Time card accuracy

Paper time cards that don't add up at payroll time

When workers fill in time cards after a shift, or a foreman reconstructs them for the whole crew, payroll data is often incomplete. Hours get miscounted, job codes get mixed up, and resolving discrepancies takes more time than it should.

Job costing

Labor costs become clear when the job is done

Construction margins depend on knowing what labor costs each job. Without real-time tracking of crew hours, the cost picture often comes together only after the work is complete, leaving little time to catch overruns or adjust plans.

Multi-site tracking

No complete record across job sites

When crews move between sites and timesheets arrive from different locations, compiling an accurate record of hours becomes a manual task. Payroll takes more effort than it should, with plenty of room for errors.

Overtime management

Overtime costs that add up unnoticed

Construction workers often put in long hours, and overtime costs add up quickly. Without automated tracking, overtime may go unnoticed until payroll makes the extra hours visible, making it harder to keep labor costs under control.

What construction companies say about actiTIME

Very easy to install

actiTIME is very robust, integrated well into your business process, and, most importantly, it helps you focus on your business instead of monkeying around with technology.

The tool was extremely easy to install, configure to our business needs and move to production. We've also noticed positive changes in the work process - it has reduced our payroll processing from 4-6 hours per week to 45 minutes per week.

This program is an intelligent solution for time billing. It took me a few minutes to install and start using, unlike the other software packages that I tried.

Now we account for all time spent. We can easily print reports, add new customers and control project billing. actiTIME is very easy to administer, and it allows for adding new projects as they arise. Our staff finds it very simple to use as well - I have absolutely no complaints from anyone.

Insightful data

actiTIME is precisely what we've been looking for and more. The simple and easy-to-use nature of the software combined with its powerful analytics features makes it perfect for our company purposes.
