Whether your company is in a service business, or simply works on different client assignments, it is sometimes required to keep track of the hours worked per project.

Time tracking can be a key element within an organisation as it sheds light on how much time is spent on client work, which can then be billed accordingly. Keeping track of time manually can be quite time-consuming to businesses so our team made this easier for you.

You can now keep track of how much time is worked on a project by using Indigo’s NEW time tracking add-on. Upon configuring the right settings, employees can select a project when clocking in for work using the employee portal. This makes it possible to automatically log and follow time worked on specific projects.

This add-on also integrates fully with our clocking devices. When importing clocking data into Indigo, administrators can set the default project for a device. This is useful when a device is tied to a specific project, and on which all employees’ punches would only apply to that project.

All project-related clocking data and the relevant employee hourly cost rate can be easily extracted into reports based on either the raw punches or the daily attendance. The latter allows you to identify any overtime which can be attributed to a project.

Utilising our Indigo Suite gives you more time to focus on your people.

Ever since we’ve teamed up with BambooHR – one of the leading HR software solutions providers, we’ve learned that whilst some companies use it as an HR tool to manage essential employee information, others also use it to keep track of their employees’ leave request entries and leave balances. During Payroll period, these balances are manually inserted into Indigo Payroll so that the correct calculations are carried out before pay day. Although tedious, this step is required by many so as to keep both Indigo and BambooHR up to date.

We’ve facilitated this process and enhanced our integration with BambooHR to enable you to export leave request entries and leave balances from Indigo directly to BambooHR. This update will help users keep focus on their people, by simplifying and reducing time-consuming processes, whilst retaining peace of mind that BambooHR and Indigo remain in sync.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Shireburn Team has been working hard to launch Indigo Target Attendance; a new Indigo Attendance feature aimed at helping you compare the hours your employees work versus the hours your employees are expected to work. What’s even greater is the fact that this comparison can be carried out over a longer period (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.), rather than just on a daily basis.

How does it work?

First and foremost, you would need to configure your Target Attendance profiles. These can easily be configured and tailored to individual business needs. A quick example of such profiles would be 40 hours over 7 days, or 20 hours over 7 days, amongst others. Once these profiles are set up, you would then need to assign your employees to the respective profiles and that’s it, Indigo Target Attendance will do the rest!

This feature caters for both employees working on a schedule, and those whose work is not scheduled. The system will automatically help you identify any abnormal clockings, by calculating the hours your employees work, versus the expected hours based on their Target Attendance profile. Calculation of hours worked is automatically extracted and verified too.

Indigo Target Attendance seamlessly integrated with Indigo Payroll, helping you reduce human error and manual inputting of data, while enabling you to automatically update your payroll at the click of a button.
