Timesheets

Timesheets without the
spreadsheets.

Picture this. It's 4:52 on a Friday. Fourteen timesheets are still missing. Finance wants the file by five, and someone has typed the Harbour Road code wrong. Again. Twelve times. You'll be fixing it on Monday.

Picture this. It's the last Friday of the month, and it's quiet. Everyone's hours are already in, against the right codes. Nobody was chased. Finance has its file. And you can already see next month's workload, and who has room for the next job.

The real cost

How much is timesheet admin really costing you?

Slide to your own numbers. First the hours spent on the admin itself. Then the bigger one: work your team did that never made it onto a timesheet.

And the hours nobody wrote down
0
hours a monthabout 0 working days · 0 working weeks a year
0
a month of work done, never billed0 a year · 0 forgotten hours a month

It hurts most with your most expensive people: one forgotten hour from a senior engineer or a partner can be worth more than a whole afternoon of admin. That's why timers fill the timesheet as people work, and why everyone can see when their week is short.

How it works

Filled in, followed up, collated, exported.

A week of timesheets in about 30 seconds. Pick the kind of firm you are.

What's inside

The timesheet that fills itself in.

01 · Timers

Press Start. The timesheet fills itself in.

Press Start on whatever you're doing, on a board, in an outline or in My Tasks, and the time lands on your timesheet by itself. On your phone too. Stop when you're done, and that's your timesheet filled in. No remembering on Friday what you did on Tuesday.

Big jobs can come in from your work-breakdown spreadsheet, with a row for each role, so everyone has their own row to start. That's an optional add-on.

02 · Several people, one task

Two people on one job? Both press Start.

When a task needs more than one pair of hands, everyone runs their own timer on it. If someone's already on it, your button says Join. Each person's time lands on their own timesheet, and the task adds it all up against the hours planned for it.

Try it: start Jo, then join Sam. The demo runs fast: a second is six minutes.

03 · Copy from last week

A normal week takes one click.

Copy all brings last week's rows across with their hours, day by day. Or add rows one at a time with the green +. Look back further if last week was unusual. Then change what was different.

Try it: press Copy all, or + on one row.
04 · Am I done?

Nobody has to chase anyone.

Hours worked, contract and the difference sit at the top of every timesheet. The difference counts down as people fill in their week and turns green at “On contract”. They know when they're done, and so do you.

05 · One export

Finance gets one file, not forty.

Admins export the week for everyone, or for one team leader's people. Team leaders can export their own team's week. If finance needs its own layout, talk to us.

Against the project list, or against the work itself.

Teams that only want timesheets type hours against the project list. Teams that run their jobs in Tyto press Start on the task they're doing, in whichever view suits them, and the hours land on their timesheet by themselves.

Live

See your team as it works, not as it reported on Friday.

Who's on, what they're busy with right now, and what's done and next. Every change shows up for everyone the moment it happens, without a refresh and without asking.

  • Who's on. A green dot on everyone who's online.
  • What they're busy with. A bubble over each face with the task and a running clock. Whoever's working comes first.
  • Done and next. Open anyone to see their To-do and what they've finished.

And because the clock is running anyway, the hours are already on their timesheet.

Team Live
Plan · Load · Do · Measure

Your timeline, workload and timesheets are the same hours.

Most firms keep the plan in one tool, the hours in a spreadsheet and the utilisation in someone's head. In Tyto each feeds the next, so you see when the team is stretched, and when to hire or train, before it hurts.

Lay the job out on a timeline.

Each task's estimate becomes a bar, sized to the working day of the person doing it. Link tasks that wait on each other, then drag one: everything after it moves too.

FAQ

What firms ask us

Do we have to run our projects in Tyto to use timesheets?

No. Your team can type hours against your project list and never touch a task. Tasks and timers are there when you want them.

Can it use our own project codes?

Yes. Your project list holds every code and name, and whether it's billable. We bring it in when we set you up; your admin keeps it up to date after that.

Can staff mark their own time as billable?

Only if you let them. Billable comes from the project they pick, and you can lock it so the whole firm agrees.

Who sees whose timesheet?

Everyone sees their own. Team leaders see their team's. Admins see everyone's.

Can it match our finance spreadsheet?

Director and team leader summaries are built in. If finance needs its own layout, talk to us.

Our team works across several countries. Does that matter?

No. Everyone fills in their week from wherever they are, and team leaders and admins see it as soon as it's in. Nobody has to find a time that suits every office.

Does it work on phones?

Timers started and stopped on the phone app land on the timesheet. The timesheet itself is filled in on the web.
