Definition
What is Timesheet & Attendance Tracking?
How many hours did each person work, on which job, and was that time billable? Timesheet and attendance tracking records all of it, alongside attendance and shift schedules. In CIPHER CRM logged hours flow straight into a timesheet-based invoice, so the time your team spends is captured, priced and billed instead of lost.
Timesheet and attendance tracking in CIPHER CRM records how many hours each person worked, on which project or task, and whether that time is billable, alongside attendance and shift schedules. Staff log time against the specific job as it happens, from web or the Android field app, so every hour has a home instead of being jotted on paper and remembered later. Because timesheets and GST billing sit in the same CRM, billable hours roll straight into a timesheet-based invoice at the right rate with no re-entry, so time your team worked actually gets billed rather than leaking away at month end. Attendance, shifts, leave and overtime live on one record, ending the monthly gate-register argument, and field staff mark attendance and log hours on site. Reports show hours per project, so you can see which jobs are profitable and price the next one with confidence. It is included in every plan, rated 4.8/5, and tuned to 31 industry editions.
The problem
What happens without Timesheet & Attendance Tracking
- Billable hours get jotted on paper or remembered later. A chunk of real work never reaches an invoice, and the revenue is just gone.
- Attendance lives on a register at the gate that nobody reconciles. Shifts, leave and overtime turn into a monthly argument.
- Nothing was logged when the work happened, so the team burns hours rebuilding timesheets at month end.
- Which projects eat time and which are profitable? You cannot say, because hours were never tied to the job.
- A client questions an invoice and the dispute drags. There is no clean record of who spent how long on what.

Built India-first
Why Timesheet & Attendance Tracking is better in CIPHER
Unlike generic CRMs, CIPHER builds timesheet & attendance tracking around how Indian businesses actually work - WhatsApp, mobile and local context come as standard.
Log time and mark attendance from the field
Field staff record hours and mark attendance from the Android app at the site, so time is captured when the work happens, not reconstructed later. Included in every plan.
Built for how Indian teams are paid
Shifts, overtime, leave and billable client hours are handled together across 31 industry editions, so services firms and field teams both fit.
How it works
How Timesheet & Attendance Tracking works in CIPHER CRM
Set up projects and rates
Define the projects and tasks to log against, and the billable rate that applies, so hours can be priced.
Log hours as work happens
Staff record time on the right project or task, billable or not, from web or the Android app while it is fresh.
Track attendance and shifts
Mark attendance and shift schedules alongside hours, so presence, leave and overtime are on record.
Generate the timesheet invoice
Roll billable hours into a GST invoice at the right rate, then review and send it to the client.
Review time and profitability
Check hours per project to see where time goes and which jobs are worth taking on again.
In action
Timesheet & Attendance Tracking in action, by industry
- Construction Site labour and machine hours are logged against each project from the field app. When a contract runs on a cost-plus basis, the billable hours roll straight into the client invoice, so no worked time is left off at month end.
- Architecture & Design A studio bills by the hour on some projects. Drafters log time against the exact drawing set as they work, so a client who questions a fee sees a clean record of who spent how long, instead of a dispute the firm cannot answer.
- Manufacturing Shift attendance and overtime are recorded alongside hours, so presence, leave and OT sit on one record. Payroll stops being a monthly argument at the gate register, and the shop floor supervisor signs off shifts from the app.
- Event Management Crew log hours across setup, the event and teardown for each function. Because those hours tie to the event, the owner sees which kinds of function actually eat labour, so the next quote is priced on real cost, not a guess.
- Facility Management Technicians mark attendance and log service hours per client site from the field app. A client billed on a manpower contract gets an invoice backed by logged, verifiable hours, so deployment charges are never questioned as vague.
- Technology Developers log billable and non-billable hours against a client project as they work. At month end the billable time rolls into a GST invoice at the agreed rate, so retainer hours are captured instead of rebuilt from memory.
