The Challenge
“As the company started expanding we quickly realized that we needed a tool that could keep accurate track of our employees’ timesheets and expenses,” explains Dan Chartier, Sphere’s President.
The Solution
An online search for timesheet systems revealed Timewatch offered the best solution for Sphere’s needs. Specifically, the Timewatch Time&Money® product was the best match for all the services the company required to accurately track employee time and expenses. “Timewatch allows us to make sure we capture all time and expenses to the correct projects,” said Dan Chartier.
The Timewatch Benefit
For Sphere, Timewatch’s ability to accurately track costs on projects sealed the deal. “We have people working all over western Canada and submitting timesheets was a challenge,” explained Dan Chartier. “With Timewatch, we now have the ability to know who has and has not submitted a timesheet. It allows us to see if we are making money on our projects and allows us to report back to our clients weekly on incurred costs on their projects.”
