Spreadsheets have long been the go-to tool for tracking employee time, but in modern organisations, they’ve become more of a liability than a solution.
What once seemed simple and cost-effective now drains resources, introduces errors, and limits visibility across the business.
If your organisation still relies on manual timesheets, it’s costing you more than just time.
It’s costing you accuracy, productivity, and money.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Time Tracking
Manual timesheets might appear cheap on the surface, but the true cost lies in inefficiency and human error.
Consider the hours employees spend logging their time, managers spend reviewing it, and finance teams spend verifying and correcting it.
Every small inaccuracy—a mistyped number, a missing entry, or an unapproved overtime claim—can snowball into distorted data and financial discrepancies.
These errors don’t just affect payroll accuracy; they undermine the integrity of project costing, client billing, and resource management.
Why Spreadsheets Fall Short
s. They lack real-time validation, audit trails, and approval workflows—all of which are essential in a modern business environment.
As your workforce grows, spreadsheets become harder to manage, more prone to duplication, and nearly impossible to keep consistent across teams or departments.
The result?
- Inconsistent data across teams
- Delayed approvals and payments
- Limited visibility into how time is spent
- Increased compliance and audit risks
