It’s no wonder PC Magazine gave TSheets an Excellent Rating and made it an Editor’s Choice. TSheets by QuickBooks is an extremely cost effective timekeeping system for small businesses. It may lack a lot of project management bells and whistles, but it also avoids the price escalation you find with those features–items that many small businesses don’t need anyway. Let’s look at why TSheets has so many HR professionals and business owners humming on Friday afternoons.

Mobile Device Compatibility

Mobile device compatibility tops the list of reasons Business News Daily’s Chad Brooks picked the software as best mobile workforce time and attendance tracking system for 2018. Employees can log in and out of work using iPhone, Android, tablets, laptops, text messages and Twitter. Of 410 independent reviewers for G2crowd.com, 95 percent reported “timesheet entry takes little time and is intuitive for new users.” There’s even a facial recognition feature employers can choose to verify identity of who is remotely clocking in or out (messages are auto-generated for a mismatched recognition condition). Hopefully this won’t put too large of a dent in the Astros’ day game attendance

GPS Verification and Controls

Another TSheets feature that many businesses will like is the ability to leverage GPS technology to track where workers are in real time, and who is on the clock. Some example uses:

• Dispatchers can find the closest workers and efficiently send them to jobs as they arise
• Mileage can be tracked for productivity reporting or employee reimbursement for travel
• In crisis situations, remotely locating employees can speed accounting for everyone’s safety

Management on the Road

Imagine you have a supervisor on vacation out west in SoCal, who has a direct report (non-exempt) at a job site in Kingwood working up against the 40 hours mark. A notification can be set up to go to both so that overtime can be avoided, or approved if acceptable. If the boss tells people not to take work with them on vacation, an alternate person such as an HR administrator can be alerted. Supervisors can review and approve time cards as well as employees’ paid time-off requests from mobile devices.

Easy Integration with QuickBooks

If you’re all in to QuickBooks, it’s all Intuit now. The parent company of QuickBooks just acquired TSheets. So you can be sure the two platforms are, and will remain, quite seamless.
