The Problem

Manual Timesheets Are Costing You More Than You Think

IT firms, agencies, and consultancies lose billable revenue when time tracking depends on memory and late spreadsheet updates.

Excel Timesheets Filed on Fridays

Employees guess-fill hours at week end. Data arrives late. Managers approve without visibility. Billing disputes with clients are common.

Billing Disputes & Revenue Leakage

Untracked hours mean unbilled work. Clients dispute invoices without time logs. Agencies and IT firms lose 15-20% revenue to poor tracking.

No Project Profitability Visibility

Finance has no idea which projects are profitable. Hours aren't mapped to costs. Project managers make resourcing decisions blindly.

Manual Payroll Calculation from Timesheets

HR teams manually calculate overtime and shift differentials from spreadsheets. Errors are frequent. Payroll runs late every month.

FAQ

Timesheet questions, answered

Answers to common questions about time tracking, billable hours, project costing, and payroll integration.

What is timesheet management software in India?
Timesheet management software lets employees log work hours against projects and tasks through timers or manual entries. Managers approve weekly or daily timesheets, which then feed payroll workflows, client invoicing, and project cost reports. It reduces Excel tracking and gives leadership clear visibility into billable hours and project margins.
Can employees track time on mobile?
Yes. Native Android and iOS apps support start and stop timers, manual entry, and project switching. Field employees get GPS-tagged entries. Offline mode syncs when connectivity is restored. No more calling or emailing to report hours.
How does billable versus non-billable hours tracking work?
Each project and task is tagged billable or non-billable. When employees log time, the two categories are captured separately. Client invoices can be prepared from approved billable hours with your agreed rate per employee or role, supporting GST-ready invoice data and line-item breakdowns.
Does timesheet data integrate with payroll?
Yes. Once a manager approves a weekly timesheet, hours sync to payroll workflows. Overtime duration reports and shift-hour summaries use configured rules, so payroll teams reduce manual hour transfer between systems.
Can I track project profitability?
Yes. Map each employee cost rate and each client billing rate to projects. The system compares actual hours logged at cost against billed hours at client rate to show project margin, utilisation percentage, and profitability dashboards.
What approval workflow does the timesheet system support?
Employees submit weekly or daily timesheets for review. Managers can approve, partially approve, or reject with comments. Escalation reminders can be configured if approvals stall. Approved timesheets can lock and feed payroll and billing workflows with less manual handoff.
Can I prepare GST invoices from timesheets for Indian clients?
Yes. Once billable timesheets are approved, teams can prepare invoice data with hour breakdowns, billing rates, IGST, CGST, and SGST splits, and company branding. Invoice data can be exported for your accounting system.
How long does implementation take?
Most Indian companies go live within 2 to 5 business days. Day 1 imports project and client masters, Day 2 builds approval workflows, Day 3 connects payroll and billing workflows, and the remaining time covers training and validation.
How is factoHR India timesheet software different from generic tools?
factoHR India focuses on Indian services and consulting needs: billable and non-billable hours, project costing, approval trails, GST-ready invoice data, payroll workflow sync, mobile entry, and project profitability dashboards in one HRMS software in India.
Can we migrate from an existing timesheet tool with time history?
Yes. Our migration team imports project master, historical time entries, billing rates, approval history, and client records from spreadsheets or your existing timesheet system. Employees see their time history from day one on the new platform.
What is the actual setup cost beyond the per-employee fee?
Standard onboarding has no setup fee. The per-employee monthly price is the price. Custom invoice templates, multi-entity rollouts above five companies, or migration from an in-house timesheet ERP may be quoted separately. Free demo covers full feature access.
Where is timesheet and project data hosted?
Time entries, project logs, approvals, and client invoice data are hosted on Indian cloud infrastructure for data residency. The platform uses industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, configurable retention policies, and audit logs.
Does the platform support multi-currency billing for international clients?
Yes. Premium and Ultimate plans support multi-currency billing with configurable FX conversion to INR for accounting. Useful for Indian IT services, consulting, and digital agencies billing clients in USD, EUR, GBP, AED, or SGD.
What support do we get during the first billing cycle?
You get a dedicated timesheet consultant during onboarding plus daily check-ins through your first complete billing cycle. Email, chat, and helpdesk support are included on every plan. Premium and Ultimate plans add priority response and a dedicated success manager for ongoing optimisation.
