Data, when used right, is a darn good thing. – said every modern organization that is leveraging it to their advantage.
Imagine that you, along with other stakeholders, are working on a crucial project for the company. You want to spend your time making business decisions, but all you do is track project hours, resource utilization and individually reach out to everyone for project updates. This scenario fits any organization that doesn’t use modern timesheet software. Tracking time, project hours, and resource utilization are things that a timesheet software does. But only a few are good at playing gathering, analyzing, and reporting data.
What does that even mean?
It’s simple. If a software only collects data without actually presenting it in a way that anyone will understand its impact on business, then it’s not worth it. But if a timesheet software can churn out reports that show a clear business impact, that’ll be helpful. For example, any software that automatically tracks project updates is good. But it’ll be great if it can analyze a project under different parameters and gives us a report on the success status at a particular time. Data-driven reports, especially when the project is at risk, will help too.
The bottom line is that no CEOs, leaders, managers want to spend time analyzing data. They want to spend time with the already analyzed data and make decisions that would remove roadblocks.
It is why at Keka, we are building a powerful reports mechanism for all our modules. And yes, it includes the timesheet software. In real-time, you can input and extract relevant data, filtering and sorting it to generate valuable results. The generated reports will help organizations:
