Finishing off our 2022 development plans

Simon
  • Updated

It's time for a final update of our recent updates to TimeSite Pro. Looking back over 2022, we've again had a pretty busy development program. This includes work on our Award Interpretation rules, automatic archiving, major enhancements to our mobile apps and messaging systems, and new timesheet approval, authorisation and review workflows. To finish 2022, we'd like to focus on a significant new integration we've just released. 

Procore's Construction Management solution provides a key suite of capabilities for some of our largest customers and prospects. TimeSite has focused intensely on award interpretation requirements in the construction industry over the last 18 months. We can now provide this capability to Procore customers by enabling them to import Procore timesheet records to TimeSite Pro, have award rules applied to them, and then export these award-interpreted records to your payroll system.

A number of our customers have requested more flexibility in our approval and authorisation workflows to support different sequencing. You can now specify whether timesheet approval is to precede or follow project authorisation. This will enable you to check the accuracy of a timesheet before requesting authorisation of timesheet information from your client or project manager. We have also included authorisation status in key timesheet filters such as Invoice > WIP. And we have improved our new timesheet record review workflow.

We continue to enhance detailed logging of key events and actions in TimeSite Pro, including our new approval and authorisation workflows. Award rules have been enhanced with new options, such as in the task type category filter, enabling us to identify whether the timesheet record relates to available, unavailable, assigned and unassigned work periods.

As is our normal practice, we'll start laying out our 2023 development themes and plans in the new year. We won't implement any major changes to TimeSite Pro over the holiday period. Our support systems — chat, email support tickets, and account monitoring — will remain available except on public holidays. Our team will take a break from 23 December to 3 January 2023. 

We wish everyone a happy holiday season and look forward to a wonderful 2023. 

 

Warm regards, The TimeSite Team
