Time, Resources & Projects

Next-Gen Timesheet Management & ProjectControls Intelligence Platform

Cloud platform that unifies timesheets, expenses, plant hours and earned-value analytics. Deploy in a few days—no per-user penalty.

01The Problem

Why Traditional Tools Hold Projects Back

By replacing error-prone Excel workbooks with a unified cloud workspace, this timesheet and project controls platform now eradicates version-control headaches and manual reconciliations that sap productivity.

When teams collaborate in real time on a centralised system, data accuracy soars and decisions rest on a single source of truth instead of conflicting spreadsheet copies.

Meanwhile, legacy ERP modules—from the bulky Oracle suites to EcoSys implementations—still demand months of custom configuration, siloed data exports and issues with connecting contractors or organisations outside of your project, delaying insight delivery and inflating project costs.

Security & compliance

Hosted in Microsoft Azure ISO 27001 data centres with geo-redundant storage, TLS 1.2 encryption, Azure Defender threat monitoring and full audit trails. Pen-testing is routine, certificates rotate every 90 days.

02The Ecosystem

Unified Ecosystem for Timesheet, Control & Resource Management

The solution delivers a secure, agile cloud platform for workforce management and reporting across multiple sites, projects, joint ventures, integrated teams and subsidiaries, unifying operational time management on a single, consistent platform.

It is an end-to-end platform that unifies project and portfolio oversight through seamlessly interconnected modules. Built on Visualisation Driven Interaction, it delivers intuitive control, real-time reporting, and pinpoint forecasting, maximising precision while minimising effort.

At its heart, the unified oversight hub brings together every facet of project and asset stewardship, front-line operations, information governance, risk and regulatory oversight, contract and supply lifecycles, site maintenance, stakeholder coordination, and standards administration. Leveraging live analytics and frictionless workflows, it delivers full visibility, airtight accountability, and peak performance with minimal effort.

03The Platform

One-Touch Timesheets, Real-Time Project Intelligence

Timesheet tracking dashboard showing the unified workforce and cost engine

01Single Source of Truth

Unified Workforce & Cost Engine

Capture time, expenses and equipment hours once; the data immediately feeds payroll, invoicing and project actuals. Fast crew templates, geo-fencing and offline mobile apps keep field entry under 60 seconds.

Real-time project controls dashboard tracking earned value versus burnt cost

02Earned-Value, Live

Real-Time Project Controls

Budget, earned value, SPI/CPI, commitments and forecast-to-complete surface on a single screen. Integrated workflows stop over-booking against client POs and flag overruns before they land on the balance sheet.

Integration and automation hub mapping purchase orders and schedules to cost codes

03Zero Re-Keying

Integration & Automation Hub

An event- and timer-based engine ingests flat files, emails, APIs or webhooks—then uses automated document analysis to auto-map POs, schedules and resource spreadsheets to the right cost codes. No more re-keying. Works with or without connectivity; sync is automatic when coverage returns. Geo-fenced tasks prevent off-site time fraud and simplify compliance audits.

04The Trade-off

Value vs Implementation Effort Matrix

The same outcomes a heavyweight ERP delivers after months of configuration, reached in days. High value, realised at low effort.

06FAQ

Common Questions

Can we roll out a single module first and add others later?

Yes. Modules are typically licensed in blocks; you can start with timesheets only, then switch on earned-value or cost-control project control dashboards when you are ready, unlike EcoSys or Oracle solutions, which usually deploys as an all-in-one stack.

How easily can we build custom dashboards or reports?

Power users create widgets in a drag-and-drop designer—no SQL required—and share them via role-based dashboards. This eliminates the dependency on specialised BI consultants noted in many “best time-tracking apps” reviews.

Who owns the data, and how can we extract it?

You retain full data ownership. All records sit in a dedicated tenant and can be exported on demand via the REST API or through scheduled CSV drops, ensuring compliance with modern data-sovereignty best practice.

Can we integrate with finance or scheduling tools without a six-month project?

Yes. Out-of-the-box connectors push approved hours to payroll, import POs from finance, and update actuals in CPM schedules. Because mapping lives in an integration hub, you avoid the custom ETL code that Primavera P6 timesheet migrations often require.
