About the Project
Global Fire and Security Ltd required a more accurate and efficient method for processing engineer timesheets. The existing system relied on manual input via Excel spreadsheets or paper forms, which was both time-consuming and error-prone. Inaccuracies in time tracking led to complications in payroll, and engineers often had difficulty recording precise job times and statuses. A digital, automated solution was needed to streamline the process and ensure reliable data collection directly from engineers’ PDAs.
Our Solution
Varciti developed a custom SharePoint-integrated application that automates the extraction and presentation of time data collected from engineers’ PDAs. The new system is user-friendly, cloud-based, and includes tools for both engineers and Field Line Managers (FLMs) to review and export timesheet data.
Key Features of the Solution:
- Automated Data Extraction:
Data from the engineers’ PDAs, captured via the CASH system, is automatically exported to a central SharePoint database, eliminating the need for manual entry.
- Excel Export Functionality:
Engineers can generate Excel timesheets directly from the app to submit to their FLMs, maintaining flexibility while improving accuracy.
The solution is fully cloud-based and responsive, allowing access from desktops, tablets, or mobile devices anywhere.
