Time & timesheets
Time tracking that feeds the operating picture.
Timesheets should not be data that disappears into a finance process at month end. In Aria, actual effort is part of understanding how delivery is progressing — and how the commercial position is moving while it can still be influenced.
Capture without interrupting the day
Time can be logged on the weekly timesheet, with a live timer, or by telling Aria what you worked on. Entries sit against a project and a task, so effort has somewhere meaningful to land.
Submitted time goes through approval before it counts as billable, and approvers see their own team's submissions rather than their own.
Capture
- Weekly timesheet grid
- Live timer
- Time against projects and tasks
- Submission and approval
What it informs
- Actuals against estimated effort
- Delivery pace and predicted completion
- Capacity and utilisation
- Labour cost and forecast margin
Aria can draft the week. You correct and submit it.
Where evidence exists — a running timer, a meeting, a calendar entry, an assigned task — Aria can draft suggested entries for the week and rank them by how well that evidence supports them.
Suggestions are suggestions. Each one can be corrected inline or dropped, nothing is submitted without a person doing it, and Aria does not invent time it has no evidence for. The point is to remove retyping, not to manufacture a timesheet.
Why this matters commercially
Logged effort is the input that turns a budget into a real cost position. Without it, margin is a plan; with it, margin is a measurement that moves during delivery.
That is why approval, rate cards and the cost view all read from the same time records rather than a separate spreadsheet reconciled after the fact.
