If your business relies on billing clients for services based on the amount of time an employee spends working on projects and activities, you know how important it is to have accurate and up-to-date time/expense records. Timekeeper allows your employees to achieve quick, accurate, and comprehensive accounting of their time so that client invoices can be sent out as quickly as possible. Timekeeper fully integrates with your Sage 100 ERP system which allows you to process all time/expense information into a number of different modules.
Differences between SWK’s Timekeeper and Sage 100 ERP Timecard
Some reasons why your company should choose Timekeeper over Sage 100 ERP Timecard:
- The Sage 100 ERP Payroll module is not required to run Timekeeper, but it is required to run Timecard.
- Timecard only updates Payroll and/or Job Cost, while Timekeeper updates Sage 100 ERP Payroll, Job Cost, Accounts Receivable, Sales Order, Time and Billing or Time and Billing Professional.
- Employee expenses can be entered into Timekeeper but not in Timecard.
- Sage 100 ERP eBusiness Manager is not required to run .timekeeper in a web interface but is required to run .timecard.
Three Solutions available when you install Timekeeper
Timekeeper Module: The full timekeeper enhancement runs on a fully installed Sage 100 ERP system. This allows users to record time and expenses, and enables managers to approve time and expense entries added in Timekeeper’s three entry methods; the Timekeeper enhancement, Timekeeper Entry, or .timekeeper.
Timekeeper Entry: A convenient, easy to use, stand-alone application that does not require the user to be logged into the Sage 100 ERP system. This application provides the user the ability to enter time and expenses over a network or internet connection. If there is no connection, Timekeeper will save locally and will sync when a connection is established. Timekeeper entry will run on Windows® XP, Mac OS® X (10.4 or higher), and any other OS capable of Java® Runtime Environment 1.5 (J2SE 1.5) or newer.
.timekeeper: Allows employees to enter time and expenses, and allows managers, salespeople, and customers to review the all the data in a web environment in real-time. Being accessible through a various range web browsers, .timekeeper is the best and easiest way to capture up-to-the-minute time and expense information. The supported browsers for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows include: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Netscape 7.2 or later, Opera 7.54 or later, Mozilla 1.7 or later, Firefox 1.0 or later, and Safari 1.2 or later. .timekeeper is now compatible with Safari on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so now your employees can enter time and expenses remotely without having to use a laptop or a wi-fi connection. This can be implemented without any addition software.
