Time Management App
Business Needs
- Monitor how the time is spent during a single day
- Schedule and manage the bookings and appointments for the day
- Check resource capacity to determine if they can handle a particular project
- Bill the clients accurately according to the time spent on the services
The Challenge
The personal time management app would be integrated with the in-house applications and software solutions. This integration meant the user could manage and monitor the software from another app, which was challenging. We had to make these integrations smooth and data management safe.
User experience was critical to the user of the time management app. We had to ensure that whether they wanted to check the available resources or manage the bookings, it should be easy. Designing an interface that would be seamless and intuitive was challenging.
Planning the entire app to be customised for the industry requirements was important. This was challenging as well, as we needed to make sure we considered all industries where resource allocation and time monitoring were important.

Solution
Solution we Proposed:
- We created an application that would help integrate the in/out time from the device into a single application.
- The timesheet, hour-tracking feature and screenshots can help with remote monitoring. We integrated these features with payroll for effective payouts, significant for contractual employees and freelancers.
- One-click reporting that offers insights to improve work allocation, task bifurcation, prioritization and resource allocation.
The application's dashboard is designed to give an at-a-glance view of the time spent on a project, the employee's productive hours and the project's overall cost.
You can get detailed insights into individual employee by clicking on their name. It offers screenshots, timesheets, in/out time, and the projects they are working on.
You will know the appointments for the day, the demos fixed for the hour and other details for better productivity. Integrate it with your ERP or project management tool to manage the resources, improve work allocation and streamline operations.
As the personal time management app will store information related to clients and projects, we developed the software using Xamarin. The technology framework is known for being safe and secure.
Our Process
We began by discovering the time management apps already popular with the users. Once we began identifying the gaps that existed, our work was easier. We proposed a UI/UX solution that helped the clients know the productive hours better. Once the design was approved, we moved to code.
We used the Xamarin framework for design and testing, allowing us to test the app across multiple devices and operating systems. Once satisfied, our team deployed the app to the app store.
