- Want better clients?
- Money burned… where did it all go?
- Which projects mean the most to me?
Those are questions a timesheet can answer for you.
Five Timesheet Features
More than a timesheet! 5 features to make time keeping even easier. (scroll down for video)
- Project task list
- Time log list
- Expense and mileage tracking
- Customizable invoice templates
- Request PTO and other time off
Project task list. This timesheet has a full project hierarchy. That means you have projects, subprojects, and tasks. Each task has estimates, actual work, percent complete, and a Gantt bar.
Time log list. Actually, the time log contains the same information as the timesheet. It’s just organized differently for ease of use.
Expense and mileage tracking. You can enter expenses on a one-off basis, plus enter quantities of expenses or miles using a template.
Customizable invoice templates. Create your own client invoice templates with your own logo and company style.
Request PTO and other time off. Employees can submit time off requests, plus the system will accrue hours for vacation and other time off
What do you think? Is that more than a timesheet? 🙂

Interview: Time Tracking App
Smartphones have changed the way people can enter their time onto their timesheet. Consultants can take their phone out into the field and record their time, it then goes into the cloud and is recorded.
Also clients are able to follow the progress done on their projects with Project Bot. They log in with their own ID and follow along. No longer do they have to call the office for the updates!
Benefits of using Standard Time®
The three biggest benefits of using Standard Time® are keeping track of billable vs non-billable hours, keeping priorities in-line and keeping on budget.
Timesheet Tasks
With the Standard Time® timesheet see only the projects and tasks you’re working on. You don’t have to wade through all your coworkers stuff, only your own!
1999 Tech Startup
Remember the “good-old-days?” Tech start-ups are not what they used to be.
Manager nearly loses his spine
This project manager went to the doctor for his annual checkup and nearly lost his spine!
Beware, Project Managers!
This can happen to you. Go to the doctor with a headache from your over-budget project, and lose your spine. Hope you enjoy the lighter side of project management. 🙂
What happens when your project is over budget by 12X? You go to the doctor with a splitting headache. Or what happens when all the employees are camping out on the easy tasks and ditching the crap? Schedule your appointment. The doctor will see you now!
Zombie project manager gets canned
Project managers need to see this!
Barcode Scanning
Barcode scanning can be used for assembly and manufacturing shops using Standard Time. You put a bar code your work orders and track them with Standard Time. How easy is that!
Imagine knowing how long it takes to assemble a product. Sure, you have a good guess. But you might be shocked to know the actual time. Or the variances. What’s the longest it takes? Or the shortest? What factors contribute to long assembly times? Or the shortest?
Knowing these things can change your business.
How barcode scanning in Standard Time works
First you scan an employee name. That tells the system who is doing the work. Then you scan a project task name. The timer in ST immediately starts. Scan the employee name with the word STOP and the timer stops. Now you know how long this employee worked on that assembly. The software totals up all the employee time for each assembly. Now you have the raw materials for your stats.
