Each task has registration and geographic tracking with Quickbooks Time

4.0 last year

Comments: Look for time and project management systems that don't require extensive learning curves and can be picked up with minimal effort. When we're out and about, we never have to worry about the app crashing. Your time management skills are put to the test by the fact that this item is here.

Pros:

This software includes tools for tracking employees' arrival and departure times and locations, as well as the total amount of time spent at each job site. This helps you save time and money by preventing the worker from clocking in from another location. The distribution and use of the software is possible on a wide range of mobile devices.

Cons:

Sometimes the gps location is off. The app's features may sometimes occasionally be unclear. Additionally, it cannot operate without a connection to the internet.

Simple Time Tracking for Graphic Designers

5.0 last month New

Comments: It's a reliable tool for basic time tracking and invoicing, but it lacks design-specific features that would make it ideal for a graphic designer’s workflow, especially for managing multiple ongoing creative projects. It’s best suited for those who need straightforward time management without too much complexity.

Pros:

The tracking system helps me as a graphic designer to accurately log hours spent on different design projects, ensuring proper billing and productivity tracking. The integration with QuickBooks for invoicing is seamless, saving time on administrative tasks.

Cons:

It can feel overly simplistic for designers who need more project-specific tracking features, such as task-based time logs or advanced reporting. Additionally, the interface might feel a bit basic for those used to more visually detailed tools.

Nice idea but somehow confusing

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: We’re excited about it and thought that we dont need to other paid websites which mean less work by that i mean the transfer from another website to another. Unfortunately, it was too difficult due to some approval issues from our-side and how confusing it is

Pros:

I like the idea of how they try to include labour time and try to make it easy for the user which is nice

Cons:

Unfortunately, for my team and i, it was somewhat difficult and confusing. I’m not sure if it’s the wrong setting but when we decided to move the labour time in the invoice, it need admin approval which is quite annoying because sometimes, our upper managements are not always here and sometimes our the customers get upsets about it.

QuickBooks Time: Your time- tracking solution

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: The first highlight of my experience with QuickBooks Time is that I can integrate my QuickBooks accounting software to it. It is very easy to use also and helps me to keep track of my team members no matter where I am and this is because I can use both my desktop or mobile.

Pros:

The mobile app gives me access to information anytime I have to step out and I am not with my computer. This is what I like the most about it.

Cons:

I do not have what I like least about it at the moment.

QuickBooks Time is the best assistant.

5.0 last month New

Comments: As an accountant dealing with different employees on a contract, I see Quickbooks Time as the best assistant because it allows me to reconcile different data components when calculating employee wages and charging my clients. I get all this information in one place.

Pros:

I like how I can track my employees away from the warehouses. I can keep track of when they clocked in without following them up.

Cons:

I need additional controls to ensure employees are physically present on-site when they clock in. The system's lack of a messaging tool makes it difficult for employees to communicate on shift changes.

Perfect for in the Moment -- Difficult to back fill time quickly

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: QuickBooks has been very helpful in helping me identify how much time I spend on various tasks and how I can improve efficiencies throughout my workday.

Pros:

A very efficient way to log hours and track task allocation. The time clock feature is especially useful for logging hours in real-time.

Cons:

If you have a busy day and fall behind in tracking your time, it can be quite cumbersome and time consuming to backfill or clean up hours from previous days.

Time Tracking Made Simple!!

5.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

I love that Quickbooks Time is very easy to use and for our employees to understand. We utilize the geofence feature often and we also utilize the job costing/tracking time coding as well. It has been an easy way for us to keep all our payroll in one place.

Cons:

We have some issues here and there with an employee not being able to put in a time sheet due to a random glitch, but it's not a big deal to us!

Save time with Quickbooks Time

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: It has been a positive experience overall. We have used the software since it wasa T-Sheets prior to intuit purchasing them and changing over to Quickbooks Time. The transition was not difficult. Prior to using the software my field supervisors were submitting paper timesheets for all the employees. This has been a massive improvement.

Pros:

Easy to get timeclock info into quickbooks for payroll

Cons:

There have been a few instances where the connection between the app and quickbooks has failed for some reason or another. Customer support is always able to get it sorted out eventually, but when it goes down and you need to get payroll done it is a significant annoyance.

Easy to use time tracking software

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: We use QuickBooks Time mainly to manage the time spent by the freelancer agents we hire for our customer service department. They are based in different countries within different time zones. So naturally we needed a solution that could make coordinating their schedules and managing their hours a simple streamlined process. So far using this software we cannot complain.

Pros:

The user experience as a whole is fluid. It doesn't have too much of a learning curve. Our Part-time employees can self-report shifts from different countries they are based in. We use accounting software from the same company, so the integration was smooth. Finally, the reporting and analytics were immaculate to monitor the efficiency and costs of our customer service department.

Cons:

Their customer service is generally responsive, during certain times, they can reply late. Besides this, for our simple use, we did not encounter much inconvenience.

The most user friendly time tracking program for companies around.

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: My experience has been overall positive. It is a very reliable tool 95% of the time and when/if it misses a beat it always guides you to rectify whatever may have happened. The integration with QB online makes this program an 8 for me.

Pros:

Quickbooks Time is a user friendly option for Timekeeping. Capable of handling large to small companies. Its's UI is intuitive. It's customization and modification options are plenty for whatever your companies needs are. Best part is that it seamlessly integrates with Quickbooks Online or Quickbooks Desktop.

Cons:

Quickbooks Time is a bit glitchy at times. The Time Kiosk option is very hit or miss. Sometimes it logs out, then you will need a code to designate that computer or device as a Time Kiosk. The experience is time consuming. The communication between QB Time and QB online can be spotty at times causing some payroll mapping problems. However, In fairness QB Time will issue the user alerts and help rectify a lot of the problems you may face.

Quick book review

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Because of its strong labor management and time tracking features, QuickBooks Time is generally well-liked. Its accurate time tracking features, easy interaction with various accounting and payroll systems like QuickBooks Online, and user-friendly interface are highly valued by users.

Pros:

QuickBooks Time is frequently commended for having an intuitive interface that makes managing calendars, running reports, and keeping track of time for both employees and enterprises simple.

Cons:

Even though QuickBooks Time is acknowledged for having an intuitive UI, novice users may still find the initial setup to be a little challenging, particularly when setting up custom rules, permissions, or connectors.

Great Service!

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with QuickBooks has been a positive one. It's flexible, it's functions are diverse and allow me and my employer to be on the same page with my time card and PTO.

Pros:

I like this app because it allows flexibility in time sheets. I can request time off, cancel the time off, and it will show me multiple breakdowns of my timesheet throughout the pay period. I work primarily remotely, this app allows me the flexibility and accountability to my timecard.

Cons:

Quickbooks time takes a long time to fix errors in the software. The PTO request function has not worked for 4 pay periods (8 weeks).

An easy to use Tracking Software, fully integrated with QBO

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: I enjoy this app and thinks it's better than most just because it is already connected to my QBO.

Pros:

I enjoy using this app because it automatically links all of my clients as soon as I add one in QBO. I work on specific clients and am able to switch between them. It also remembers my most used projects and keeps them at the top for easier log-ins.

Cons:

The buttons don't always work, and it can be hard to edit time. Sometimes I have to do the log-in or switching of clients twice, and editing time doesn't always work right away.

LONG TIME USER WHO STILL LOVES IT!

5.0 12 months ago

Comments: I loved it from the first time I used it! It would be hard to replace!

Pros:

I was part of QB time before it was QB time! It was T-sheets! And now actually it is called WorkForce. I started using it bc a crew member saw how frustrated I was trying to manually enter time... isn't there an app for that? Yes! And I have used it ever since! That was 7-8 years ago!

Cons:

Can't think of any! They even kept the classic Tsheets version of the app in the online version which I love bc of the visual set up! I color coat all of my clients etc. They are so very helpful!
