Help your clients manage their costs by delivering timesheet data daily and capture approvals as the work happens so you can pay your team with confidence
Orders can be created uniquely for each worker or an entire crew. Job allocation then keeps it simple for the guys on the ground. They only see the work allocated to them and creating dockets is a breeze. A simple notification and accept/reject process ensures the right people will be in the right place at the right time.
Daily dockets can be as easy as recording your Start/Finish/Break times and total worked hours. Or the templates can be extended to include pre-start checklists, fitness for work statements or other information to manage the team. One timesheet per day means the daily costs appear on the project live, and you are not chasing missing or incomplete timesheets on a Monday morning to try to do payroll.
If individual daily dockets don’t work for you, no problem. Docketbook’s docket templates can be configured as crew dockets, where a supervisor completes the timesheet on behalf of his crew or even as weekly dockets where the worker adds their times for each day.
Either way, every line item added is timestamped and audit logged, ensuring that every docket is grounded in trust.
In construction, timesheets serve two masters, paying and getting paid. In both cases, accurate source data that can be reconciled to the invoice is critical. Whilst the final invoice may include surcharges and overtime rates, the invoices shared via Docketbook include linked dockets and total hours, making reconciliation transparent and straightforward.

With paper dockets sometimes lost and often illegible, Karim Viljoen, the accountant at Lendich Constructions knew there must be a better way. She was spending hours each day chasing dockets and entering endless lines into spreadsheets.
For Lendich, the requirement was not just to make it easier for operators, but to present the data in a very specific way to support the claim process.
“Integrating directly with Excel mean I could use the processes and formats I was familiar with but have the data come automatically from the dockets”, said Karim, “The flexibility of Docketbook was a major plus.”
The process of adoption by field staff was much easier than anticipated. “We have 10 field staff of different ages, and they all adapted really well. The error rate has reduced dramatically since moving from paper and there is no longer a need to travel back to the office to drop off dockets”
