Automated Timesheet Management Module
A real-time, event-driven timesheet engine
Overview
Equipment, operator and billing timesheets generated automatically from operational events, shift logs, breakdowns and contractual commercial rules.
Brief summary
The case study at a glance
A quick read distilled from the full 15-page case study — the problem, what HERB delivered and the outcomes that mattered.
Event-driven timesheet engine generates equipment and operator timesheets from operational logs, shift allocations, breakdown events and attendance — no manual preparation.
Dynamic calculation of productive, idle, breakdown, standby and OT hours with multi-shift continuity, shift carry-forward and multi-operator handling.
Customer-specific commercial rules (standard hours, OT slabs, standby billing, waiting charges) applied automatically to billing-ready timesheets.
Supervisor and customer approval workflows with timesheet freeze controls and full audit trail.
Outcomes: 80% reduction in timesheet prep time, 100% automated OT calculation, real-time utilization visibility, reduced revenue leakage and faster payroll.
Business challenges
What the customer was facing before HERB.
Manual & paper-based operations
Handwritten shift records re-entered into Excel — delays, errors and disputes.
No real-time visibility
Running, idle, breakdown and OT data invisible to management.
Complex operational conditions
Multi-shift, trip-based, monthly, standby and breakdown combinations broke Excel.
Billing discrepancies
Missing hours, wrong OT, untracked standby — revenue and trust impact.
