Copy of Evolution of a digital timesheet

The Evolution of MyTimesheets - from humble beginnings to sophisticated solutions.

Like most good ideas, MyTimesheets started with a simple problem: how do we make it easier for employees to record their hours and for employers to process them accurately?

MyTimesheets App (with photo and gps verification) vs Biometric Timeclocks

Occasionally, we are asked why we don't use biometric time clocks with MyTimesheets. The reason is simple - we use a tablet-based app with employee PINs and Photo Verification because it is often more effective and cost-efficient than using biometric devices for time and attendance tracking, especially for small to…
