TSheets, now part of QuickBooks Time, is a time tracking and workforce management tool that helps businesses streamline time tracking, employee scheduling, and payroll processes. With features like real-time mobile time tracking, geofencing, project tracking, and integrations with payroll platforms, TSheets allows businesses to optimize workforce management and stay compliant with labor reporting requirements.

Frends can integrate with TSheets to automate time tracking workflows, synchronize workforce data with other systems, and enhance payroll processing. By using Frends with TSheets, organizations can reduce manual data entry, improve data accuracy, and ensure seamless end-to-end staff management workflows.

Business use cases

Automated Time Entry Sync with Payroll Systems

Frends can integrate TSheets with payroll platforms like QuickBooks, ADP, or Paychex. For example, when employees log their hours in TSheets, Frends can automatically transfer those hours to the payroll system for processing, ensuring timely and accurate payroll calculations.

Real-Time Timesheet Notifications

Frends can integrate TSheets with communication tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email for real-time notifications. For instance, when an employee clocks in or out, Frends can notify managers or supervisors, providing real-time visibility into workforce activities and helping to prevent time tracking discrepancies.

Integration with ERP Systems

Frends can synchronize employee time tracking data from TSheets with ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle. For example, hours worked on specific projects tracked in TSheets can be automatically associated with project codes in the ERP system, enabling accurate project costing and resource allocation.

Project-Based Time Tracking Automation

Frends can automate the synchronization of project data between TSheets and project management tools like Asana, Trello, or Jira. For instance, when a new project is created in one of these tools, Frends can automatically create corresponding entries in TSheets for employees to log their time against.

Attendance and Overtime Tracking

Frends can automate attendance and overtime tracking workflows by integrating TSheets with HR systems. For example, if an employee exceeds their regular working hours as logged in TSheets, Frends can trigger workflows to notify HR teams, calculate overtime compensation, and generate reports for compliance.

Compliance and Audit Reporting

Frends can integrate TSheets with compliance reporting tools to automate data collection and report generation. For example, Frends can pull timesheet logs from TSheets, consolidate the data into labor compliance reports, and regularly send them to HR or regulatory authorities for review.

Workforce Scheduling Automation

Frends can synchronize employee schedules between TSheets and external scheduling systems. For example, schedules created in workforce management platforms can be automatically updated in TSheets, ensuring that employees can log their hours accurately based on their assigned shifts.

Remote Workforce Monitoring

Frends can integrate TSheets with location-based monitoring tools or geofencing systems. For instance, when employees clock in via TSheets from specific job sites, Frends can verify their location using GPS data and notify supervisors if there are discrepancies, improving accountability and transparency.

Task Progress Tracking

Frends can connect TSheets with task management platforms like Monday.com or Basecamp to track and analyze task-related time logs. For example, when an employee's task is marked as complete, TSheets time logs associated with that task can trigger Frends to update the task status in the project tracking tool.

Employee Self-Service Portals

Frends can automate data transfers between TSheets and employee self-service portals, enabling employees to view and manage their timesheets, schedules, and leave balances in one place. For instance, Frends can sync TSheets time logs and schedules with an HR portal for real-time visibility.

Multi-System Expense Management

For companies needing to track expenses related to labor, Frends can integrate TSheets with expense reporting tools like Concur or Expensify. For example, Frends can associate labor hours logged in TSheets with specific project expenses in an external system, enabling detailed cost tracking.

Real-Time Integration with Billing Platforms

Frends can connect TSheets with billing systems like FreshBooks or Zoho Invoice to automate customer billing processes. For example, when employees track their billable hours in TSheets, Frends can pull the data and automatically generate and send invoices to clients.

PTO and Leave Management

Frends can integrate TSheets with HR systems to streamline PTO (Paid Time Off) and leave management. For example, when an employee requests time off in TSheets, Frends can automatically update their leave balance in the HR system and notify relevant managers for approval.

Labor Analytics and Dashboards

By integrating TSheets data with business intelligence (BI) tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Google Data Studio, Frends enables advanced labor analytics. For instance, Frends can pull time tracking data from TSheets and generate dashboards displaying trends in employee productivity, overtime hours, and project costs.

Employee Performance Monitoring

Frends can connect TSheets with performance management platforms, enabling organizations to monitor work hours and productivity. For example, Frends can compare employees’ time logged in TSheets against task completion data from a project management tool, providing actionable insights for performance reviews.

Data Cleanup and Validation

Frends can automate data validation and cleanup workflows for TSheets records. For example, if discrepancies are detected, such as overlapping shifts or missing clock-ins, Frends can flag the entries, generate reports, and notify administrators to take corrective action.

By integrating TSheets with enterprise systems using Frends, organizations can automate time tracking and payroll processes, enhance workforce visibility, and improve data accuracy across systems. Frends supports seamless data exchange and efficient workflows, allowing businesses to optimize their workforce management and focus on strategic operations.
