Time tracking and reporting integration

Purpose

1. Automate and centralize the capture of work hours, task durations, billable/non-billable time entries, and project progress for AV/IT consultants.

2. Ensure automated integration of tracked hours into project management systems for live resource allocation, real-time reporting, and facilitating automated billing and payroll processes.

3. Standardize data flow from multiple sources—mobile apps, web portals, biometric devices—into unified dashboards for leadership audits, accountability, and automated compliance.

4. Enable notifications and alerts based on automated time tracking anomalies for immediate corrective action.

5. Support automation in KPI calculation, client reporting, and stakeholder updates with automated, time-stamped logs.

Trigger Conditions

1. New time entry submission by staff via mobile, web, or biometric kiosk.

2. Scheduled data sync triggers (e.g., every hour/day/week).

3. Project milestone updates or status changes in project management tools.

4. Approval of submitted time entries by project manager.

5. Automated threshold breaches (e.g., overtime hours exceeded, low utilization detected).
