Timesheets and Cost Analysis

Silver-Owl incorporates a number of integrated time management facilities, each of which can be disabled if they are not required, to help you understand how time - and money - have been spent within your business.

Effort and costs can be analysed using various parameterised reports, either by project, or across your company or parts of it, helping you identify where savings can be made and efficiency and productivity improved.

You can also use this data to develop metrics that will help improve future estimates, helping ensure future projects are delivered on time and to budget.

Personal Level

A simple to use time-recording facility allows all users to book their time worked on each project each week.

Time can be subdivided by Work Items, Tasks, Stages or Phases, or in other ways you define for each project.

Flexitime is supported if required or variable overtime rates can be used.

A simple Time Clock is also available, which allows each user to manually record the time they start and stop work each day. If used, Silver-Owl will ensure that Timesheet entries match it.

Leave, whether Annual or Sickness, can be booked and approved. A person’s non-availability is made available to the planning facility.

Project Level

Costs associated with each Timesheet are calculated, assigned to each project and interrogated.

Standard, project specific or personal rates may be used with three separate rates (e.g. personal cost, charge-out rate and full cost to the business.

Business Level

Costs can be analysed across all projects or subsets of them, over ranges of dates.
