How does the Outlook Timesheet work?
It works in two ways:
- Our web application links directly with Outlook. This makes it easy to allocate customer / project information to appointments, then, when you are ready, you can add them to their timesheet. It takes users seconds as most of the information needed for a timesheet is already in Outlook, and best of all it works on PC, Mac, Phones & Tablets. Customers tell us our Outlook timesheet system saves their users hours each week. See this now ->
- Users of Outlook for Windows desktop editions 2019, 2016, 2013 & 2010 can also use our Outlook plugin. This brings Outlook timesheet functionality within Outlook itself. Again, it takes seconds and saves users hours each week.See this now ->
If you use a Mac, don’t worry, you don’t need a plugin, our standard system works with Mac and iPhone.
How easy is it to use?
Really easy. If users can create appointments in Outlook, they can use OutlookTime® as it doesn’t change the way Outlook works, it enhances Outlook by letting users allocate customers / projects to appointments, and then post them to their timesheet. It takes seconds and saves hours each week. See this now ->
How long does it take to enter a timesheet?
It’s fast, faster than any other system.
Outlook appointments already holds the date, start time, end time, duration and notes. OutlookTime® users simply allocate a Customer / Project, then post it to their timesheet. That’s it! It takes seconds, and saves hours each week. See this now ->
How does OutlookTime® save hours each week compared to other systems?
In a traditional timesheet system, users need to enter a date, a customer / project, start time, end time, hours spent and perhaps some notes.<br><br>With OutlookTime® most of the work is already done as the date, start time, end time, duration, notes, location etc. comes from the Outlook appointment. <br><br>All OutlookTime® users need to do is allocate a customer / project, then post it to their timesheet. It takes seconds as it reuses data already in Outlook, avoiding the duplicate entry of data that traditional systems require, and that is how it saves users hours each week†. See this now ->
