Why should my company use online timesheets?

Timesheet System Key Features

Multi-Level

Tempora provides multi-level time recording and reporting, allowing you to see the data that matters to your company at a summary or detailed level. Our reports don’t just show time but a breakdown of costs, selling values and profit and loss.

Timesheet Prompt

When you need to make sure timesheets are complete the Tempora prompt is the right tool for the job. This software is installed on the staff member’s machine, when a timesheet is not submitted on time the prompt will lock their machine from all applications but the Tempora timesheet. Once the timesheet is complete the prompt will unlock their computer so they can access other apps.

Reporting

Tempora has a wealth of prebuilt reports that can be run, these reports are broken into easy-to-understand sections so you can always find the data you need. All Tempora reports can be exported to Excel, emailed to other staff or automated to be delivered to you daily, weekly or monthly.

Report Filters

Import Reports

There’s no need to lose historic data when moving to Tempora, we can import all your historic data and have it available in the Tempora reports.

By using a template, quickly add advanced time recording structures to clients or projects. When a template is changed it will update all clients or projects using that template. This allows you to make changes for hundreds of items with just a few clicks.

Late Timesheet Reminder

Tempora will automatically remind your team to complete timesheets each week by email. A summary of who has late timesheets can be sent to department leaders. This can save your admin team hours that can now be more productively spent.

Learning a new system can be a challenge for a busy admin team, we provide training sessions for maintaining the system and running reports to get your team up to speed and familiar with Tempora.

Move Time

Mistakes can happen a staff member may have been recording their time to the wrong item for weeks or even months. Instead of manually adjusting each record you can move all the time to the correct item. This can save hours of admin allowing your team to stay focused on what matters.

Holiday approvers will be notified by email any time a holiday request is made. The holiday approval page shows all staff you can approve a holiday for and their availability allowing you to quickly identify if the request should be approved or declined.

Holiday requests are automatically added to the staff member’s timesheet, the time is removed if the request is declined.

Client Testimonials & Feedback

Studio Coordinator

From a business management point of view, the ability to be able to identify over-spend on jobs has been a huge advantage for Balmond Studio.

“Because we charge a fixed fee for our services, it’s very easy for us to spend unlimited hours on projects if we’re not careful,” says Studio Coordinator Sara Adams.

“Tempora helps us control that.”

Head of Finance

“In the beginning, getting staff to fill out electronic timesheets was something of a culture shock. These days, they do it without thinking, which means that at any point in time, FKC has reliable information on the progress of jobs.

“That’s the beauty of Tempora,” says Ms Stevens.

“It allows us to see what’s going on on a daily basis, which means we can act straight away to fix things.”

Construction

We implemented Tempora because it gave us considerably more granularity on the information that we recorded, and the ability to analyse that information and drive improvements as a result.

As an example, prior to implementing Tempora there were regular complaints that our design team's productivity was significantly hampered due to IT/Technical issues. We were able to capture exactly where these issues occurred, quantify, categorise and address them. This has resulted in better IT performance and a better relationship between the business and IT.

In short, Tempora has done its job, and done it well.

Operations and Finance Manager

“With Tempora,” she says, “there’s nothing clouding visibility. We can see clearly how jobs are progressing, on a phase level as well as by client or project.

This helps to prevent over-spend.

"Our cost and charge rates are all embedded into the system", Ms Draper explains, "so we can see very quickly how much each job is costing us."

Systems Project Manager

So successful was the introduction of Tempora’s timesheet reminder in Kingly Street that BBH started to install it in other offices.

“It wasn’t a deliberate roll out,” says Systems Project Manager Joanna Smith, who helped with the system integration in Singapore and China, and provides remote support for the Prompt in New York.

“But as finance people in different countries starting talking about how the Prompt was improving time capture, it started to snowball. That’s why Singapore were so keen to have it.”

Director of Strategy

"Tempora has a great interface and is very user friendly. With a few tutorials from the attentive support team we’ve been able to get the visibility we need to effectively and efficiently manage capacity and resource planning. We can very quickly add new clients and projects to ensure we’re tracking time from the off, and the number and type of reports gives us the data we need to make timely and strategic business decisions. It’s also been a huge help on tracking the amount of time spent on clients, internal work, and prospecting, to ensure we’re getting the most cost-effective balance of time across the agency."

Group Financial Controller

Global media planning and buying agency ZenithOptimedia use Tempora timekeeping software on a daily basis to run reports and provide analysis at various levels: by client, department, brand, campaign or person.

“[Tempora] allows us to maintain our efficiency as an agency,” says Ms Hillary.

“By running custom reports, I can see quickly whether a client is profitable or not. Tempora allows us to compare profitability year-on-year, or by department – which means I know whether the TV department is more efficient than the press department, or whether each department has improved in the following year by client.”

Financial Services Consultancy

When we first started using Tempora we did not know all the possibilities that the product offers. We only used it as a timesheet system but it is a great app that has allowed us to analyse our gross margin, selling rates, and cost rates with additional filters like practices/departments. Tempora’s customer service is really good, they provide quick solutions for each issue or question that we have. They are always supporting our sales department allowing us to get the maximum benefit of the application.

Public Affairs Consultancy

We have been users of Tempora since 2017. The system is customisable and after consultation with our employees Tempora helped us to devise a system to match our business needs. The system is enhanced by it’s extensive reporting capabilities providing us with “just in time reporting “on client activities and profitability.

The Admin function is structured in a logical way and as well as the support available through the Help and Resource Centre there is the extremely supportive helpdesk team in particular Drew Kite who tirelessly provide timely support and solutions to our queries.

The HR Licence extension is a fantastic addition to Tempora and the the automation of the holiday request / approval process has made such a difference to our team in terms of efficiency and time saving. The module is also supported by a great suite of reports. Further customisation was possible recently when we requested an additional feature that would allow us to see all employee leave for a particular month all at the same time.
