Know Where Your Team Is. Know How Time is Spent.

Challenge

Highfield, a 40-person electrical contractor based in Manchester, had engineers submitting handwritten weekly timesheets — creating disputes with clients over billable hours, payroll delays, and an inability to track job profitability accurately.

Solution

Rolled out a mobile time-tracking app with job-code clock-in, GPS verification for on-site attendance, and automatic timesheet generation feeding directly into both payroll and job-costing reports for client invoicing.

Results

• Client billing disputes reduced from 8 per month to zero in the first 3 months
• Payroll processing time dropped from 2 days to under 2 hours each week
• Job profitability reporting became available in real time — unprofitable contracts identified immediately
• Recovered £18,000 in previously unbilled hours in the first 6 months of tracking

Challenge

Nuvelo, a boutique consulting firm in Toronto with 18 consultants, billed clients by the hour but tracked time manually in spreadsheets — making monthly invoicing a 3-day process that was consistently late and sometimes inaccurate.

Solution

Implemented project-based time tracking integrated with their billing software — consultants logged time against client projects throughout the day, and monthly invoices were auto-generated and dispatched on the 1st of every month.

Results

• Monthly invoicing cycle reduced from 3 days to 2 hours
• Invoice accuracy improved — billing disputes dropped from 5 per month to 0
• Consultant utilization visibility enabled better project allocation — billable hours up 17%
• Average payment collection time reduced from 38 days to 21 days due to faster, accurate invoicing
