Have you ever felt that your projects are taking more time than they should? Or projects are using up non-billable hours in unnecessary admin? Are you spending way too much time wrangling complex spreadsheets rather than concentrating on your business? This is where Salesforce Time Tracking can help.
With Salesforce timesheets in Mission Control, you can easily manage the time you and your colleagues spend on tasks and projects. With the data you gain from more accurate time tracking, you can streamline projects and tasks so they’re more cost-effective and efficient, with less wasted time as everyone is aware of each other’s availability.
TOP REASONS TO USE SALESFORCE TIME TRACKING
If you’re a business owner managing multiple projects and resources, you understand that your time needs to be billable. But how much time do you and your colleagues waste on administration, or on unprofitable projects?
Unless you can track your time on tasks and projects accurately, you won’t be able to answer that question, which means you’re at a disadvantage when you’re bidding for your next project.
With Salesforce timesheets in Mission Control, you can turn time spent into money earned. On your Kanban board, each task owner can log time against any action they’re working on, and the board updates in real time.
CHECK YOUR PROJECT’S HEALTH
With more accurate time tracking, you can see quickly if a task is taking more time than you’d scheduled, or that you’re on track to deliver on time and to budget. As each employee logs time spent on tasks, you can see easily where your colleagues are spending their time, and if the resource is the best fit for the task. Real-time updates mean you see quickly when an employee is struggling and you need to intervene to keep your project on track.
ANALYSE PROFITABILITY
Once you build a database of projects, tasks and time spent on each task, you can see which projects are more profitable so you can identify your ideal clients.
IMPROVE YOUR QUOTING AND ESTIMATING PROCESS
Once you start gathering data on time spent on different types of tasks, you’ll be able to estimate and quote more accurately for better profitability and time management.
IMPROVE TEAM MORALE AND PRODUCTIVITY
With your helicopter view of tasks and resources, you’ll see when an employee is spending more time on a task than you’d scheduled. Rather than add to employee stress, you can step in with help (or reassign that task before your budget blows out or you run into problems meeting your milestone).
SIMPLIFY INVOICING OF BILLABLE HOURS
With Salesforce time tracking, you can see hours scheduled, completed and remaining for each task, with hours broken down into billable, non-billable and overtime.

If you feel you’re dumping information from system to system than finding your ideal clients, take a look at a few of the features and think about which ones could give you back your time.

USER PERMISSIONS
Time tracking makes it easy for your employees and colleagues to log their own hours per task by setting up and assigning user permissions. It’s simple to do and you won’t be logging hours historically, meaning you’ll get more accurate time capture.
SALESFORCE1 MOBILE APP
With this cloud-based app, any employee or colleague can log time directly from the Salesforce1 mobile app, no matter when or where they’re working.
The ultimate benefit of Salesforce timesheets in Mission Control is they enable you to analyse the true costs of your projects, which means more transparency, better reporting and more accurate quoting.
