Introduction

Accurately tracking time and materials is critical for ensuring profitability, accurate billing, and maintaining clear audit records. However, traditional manual tracking methods often lead to double handling of data, increasing the risk of errors, delays, and lost revenue for contractors. Without a streamlined tracking process, it can be difficult to justify claims, track labour costs, and monitor material usage efficiently.

The Time and Materials Tracking App simplifies the process by providing quick, easy, and reliable reports that accurately document work completed, labour hours, materials used, and equipment utilisation. With automated tracking and real-time reporting, teams can reduce errors, streamline payments, and maintain a full audit trail.
