Timesheets and expense vouchers that post straight to the WBS element that earned them.
When timesheets live in one tool and project cost tracking lives in a spreadsheet, project managers are always working from data that is at least a few days stale. TrackElan’s time and expense entry writes directly against the WBS element, so project cost updates the moment a timesheet is submitted and approved — not at the next data export.
Expense vouchers follow the same model: submitted against a WBS element, routed for approval, and posted to both the project and the GL/AP in one step.
Give project managers cost data that is current, not a week stale
Bill clients accurately with billable/non-billable time captured at entry
Route time and expense approvals through the same system as budget control
Eliminate the spreadsheet reconciliation between timesheets and project actuals
