Challenges of Using Spreadsheets for Time Tracking
Tracking the time each team member dedicates to a project using spreadsheets can be frustrating if not done efficiently.
Layer helps you save time by skipping email altogether and allowing you to assign recurring tasks and deadlines instead.
Without layer
Time is spent with inefficient menial tasks.
Rolling up timesheets from individual team members or project teams requires unskilled work, including creating copies of individual sheets and consolidating the results back into your master file.
With layer
Focus on high-value tasks instead.
Work from your master file and give access down to the sheet and cell-range level to specific individuals, allowing you to share and gather data in a single dashboard.
Without layer
Chasing for data leads to an innefficient process.
Time-tracking spreadsheets need to be constantly up-to-date with different inputs from multiple contributors who must be reminded to submit their data.
With layer
Set your recurring tasks and forget about them.
Layer will automatically request the data and remind your collaborators of due dates whenever needed.
