DOVICO Planning & Timesheet is powerful time tracking software. This exceptional time tracking and business management application features a variety of tools to help you get the most productivity out of your time. DOVICO will not only track the hours of each employee, but it also tracks the projects they are working on. A built-in expense module monitors expenditures so you can make informed executive decisions and increase your bottom line. This software allows you to manage all of your time tracking functions through one all-inclusive application.

The DOVICO Planning & Timesheet interface is a little overwhelming. This application requires some training, and we recommend using their online demo to understand how much you can do with it. Plus, if you're using a Mac, you may encounter some compatibility issues. Nonetheless, this is one of the best project management options available, and it is the winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award.

DOVICO Planning & Timesheet will track all your employees including their sick time, vacation time and more. This software has almost all of the features that we looked for in time tracking and management software. With this product, you can also setup rules and regulations to customize any overtime your employees might accrue.

This web-based software will also monitor your projects and jobs – including all of your expenses, as well as your clients or customers and their contact information. DOVICO uses a Gantt chart (a type of bar chart) to display this information. This makes it easy to see who is working on what project, how much of the project has been completed and if there are any overlapping time conflicts. The application features a simple drag-and-drop system when you want to add employees to projects or adjust timelines. While DOVICO does a great job of tracking hours and monitoring projects, it doesn't seem to have a specific function for tracking other activities, such as training, meetings and presentations.

And since this application is web-based, you can access DOVICO time tracking software from any computer with an internet connection.

DOVICO Planning & Timesheet offers a wide variety of practical features. These additional features allow you to create secure passwords, manage contacts and archive entries. You can also import and export data easily using an Excel spreadsheet. DOVICO's Heat Map will allow you to see, at a glance, which employees are overloaded and which ones have room for additional projects.

You can also add notes to any project or employee timesheet with the click of a button. If you have international employees or clients, DOVICO allows you to switch between multiple currencies and adjust hourly employee rates. You can also differentiate between billable and non-billable hours and create invoices based on those hours.

Ease of Use Product Feature Score Product Feature Score Product Feature Score Product Feature Score

This is a very useful application for time management, once you learn how to use it. DOVICO Planning & Timesheet isn't something that you can just jump into without any training. It has many different features, and the interface can feel cluttered and intimidating. You may feel lost at first, but after taking a quick tour of the application and viewing a demo, you'll get the hang of it.

DOVICO organizes all of its features into five different sections: My Time & Expenses, Project Planning, Approval Workspace, Employees & Projects and Reports Explorer. Each module is clearly marked on the top navigation bar for quick access. Once inside these sections, there are additional subheadings for additional control. As previously mentioned, it's a lot to take in at first, but soon you'll be able to navigate with ease.

Finally, if you're using a Mac operating system, DOVICO will have some functional limitations. For example, you won't be able to use the offline timesheet function and the import/export tool will not work. If your company primarily uses the Mac OS, we recommend using another one of the products we reviewed.

Summary

DOVICO Planning & Timesheet is a powerful and flexible application. You can either install this time tracking software on your computer or use the online version. Either way, you will have access to a variety of tools to help you manage your business effectively and make sure your company meets its deadlines.
