Leaving Excel behind: switching to digital time tracking in five steps
Switching from Excel and paper to a digital solution works in five steps: take stock, define rules, prepare master data, set up with help, and run one month in parallel. After that, everything is in one place.
Why switching is worth it
Excel is a good start. As the team grows, projects, absences and expenses are added, and the spreadsheets grow with them. A digital solution brings everything together: record time, approve holiday, review expenses and run payroll, all with one shared set of data.
The result is a calmer month-end close and a team that enjoys working with the system.
The path in five steps
The five steps guide you through the switch. Each one is manageable.
Take stock
Which Excel files, notes and emails exist for time, absences and expenses?
Define rules
Note down working time templates, holiday rules and public holidays.
Prepare master data
Employees enter their data in the portal themselves.
Set up with help
Use the new customer webinar, training and the master data service.
Run in parallel
Compare for one month, then switch to the new system.
