    Any recommendations for remote time collection systems to send data to Sage 100? Have 150 painters that need to record employee number, job number, hours worked. Prefer a phone app so each painter can use their own cell phone. Thanks in advance for any good solutions or thoughts on those to avoid.

    I'm bringing this oldie back to life ... looking for a simple, web based time collection software for workers in the field, since OM has no such thing (don't get me going!).  

    At the very least all that is needed is a browser based time entry system where they can enter their time worked (time clock time), and/or hours worked, job number and work code.  Simple stuff.  If there is a mobile app  even better.  It needs to be exportable (again super simple, like a .csv file) and date range specific.  Bells and whistles not needed, just a couple of user defined fields to enter the work ticket number and activity code.  Even better if the work ticket numbers can be uploaded so they can't type in something invalid.

    TIA!

    Dear Sage - THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE HERE!!!!! I'm sure all of my Job Cost clients have asked about this at least once in the last year or so.

    @Beth Bowers this is really getting old isn't it?  It doesn't have to be so dang complex ... simple simple is all that is needed, not something that takes years to develop.  Maybe you and I can make some EASY, FAST money by developing something like this (yeah right, like I know how). 

    There are lots of techy members here .. has anyone developed something that they could package up and pitch to us?

    A number of years ago, we used "Clicktime" - not sure if it is still viable, but you may want to check it out.

    What about TimeClock Plus.  I think they have a mobile app.  You can custom configure fields.  Not sure how it would validate and you would have to import the time.

    Thanks @Doug Higgs I will check out WorkMax.  I just got done reviewing WorkYard which also seems promising (and is probably very similar to WorkMax).  I will keep 90M posted as it seems like we could all benefit from having a library of viable remote time entry software that is easy to use, not expensive (such as a Scanco or Sage license expensive).  It's a no-brainer to upload the time into Data Collector in OM ... the hard part is finding a solution that is simple and even harder actually getting the workers to use the software to enter their own time.  What decade is this??

    oops and thank you @Jeff Fiddelman for recommending ClickTime.  Another simple solution, and this one even allows you to NOT enter start and stop times.

    I setup a customer a few years back with https://www.opentimeclock.com/
    Open Time Clock is a comprehensive and feature-rich online free time clock software that allows businesses to efficiently manage employee time and attendance.

    Really cheap and they haven't called about any issues. I am also not sure if they are still using it but I think they are. Only problem I saw when I set it up, was that it is based out of China. But I notice now that data is in the US.
    They have a phone app, web based, can setup jobs, and you can export it. They have a demo you can log into and play with plus you can setup a free version of it too, to test with.
