Time tracking that fills in the timesheet for you
Start a timer on the card you are working on, or record your day's start, break and finish. Hours land on the person's timesheet and on the card's history at the same moment, so nobody types the same hours twice.
Included with Pulse Boards. Desktop and mobile app.

Teams that bill or report time
See hours by person, card, board and client without asking anyone to fill in a spreadsheet.
Managers running several teams
Filter by department, person and date range, with the totals worked out for you.
Anyone who forgets to log time
A timer on the card you are already working on is easier to remember than a timesheet on a Friday afternoon.
Where the hours actually went
Real screens from Pulse, shown with an example working day. The day, the activities and the time on each card all add up in one place.
Accurate hours without the chasing
One-tap timer
Start and stop a timer on any card; the time is saved to the card and to the timesheet.
Manual entries
Add or adjust time afterwards, with a note, when a timer was not running.
Daily log
Record start, break and finish times; hours worked, break time and net hours are calculated for you.
Status at a glance
See who is working, on a break or finished for the day.
Hours by person, board and client
Filter by department, person and date range, with totals for the period.
Reports and exports
Export hours for payroll, billing or client reports as a spreadsheet-ready file.
Full edit history
Every entry and change is recorded, so the numbers stand up to review.
Feeds Pulse HR
Attendance and hours flow into Pulse HR for payroll, so nobody keys them in twice.

The timer lives on the card
Every card on a Pulse board has a timer. Time logged there appears on the card's history, on the person's timesheet and in your reports, without anyone copying it across.
See Pulse BoardsGood to know
Is Pulse Timesheets a separate product?
It is included with Pulse Boards. Every card has a timer, and every person has a timesheet built from the time they log.
Can we export hours for payroll or invoicing?
Yes. Managers export hours for any date range as a spreadsheet-ready file, filtered by department or person.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Pulse installs on desktop and mobile, so people can start or stop a timer from their desk or their phone.
How is pricing calculated?
By product and by the level of customisation you need. We quote after a 15-minute demo.
