Know exactly how long every operation takes. Workers start and stop timers with a single tap on their phone or a kiosk. Compare estimated vs. actual time across every job. Spot operations running over budget before they become a problem.
Office time tracking tools aren't built for the factory floor. Workers have dirty hands and can't fumble with password logins. They switch between jobs multiple times per day, sometimes every few minutes. And honestly, they have about five seconds of patience for clunky interfaces.
Board's time tracking is designed for this reality. Workers tap once to start a timer, tap once to stop it. The system automatically detects when someone moves to a different job and switches their timer accordingly. PIN authentication means no email, no password — just a quick tap and they're tracked. Every entry stays linked to the specific job, operation, and workstation so you get the precision data you need.
On mobile or kiosk — no forms, no email login, no friction. Workers tap the operation they're doing and Board starts tracking immediately.
When a worker moves to a different operation, Board automatically stops the previous timer and starts a new one. No manual switching required.
No email, no password reset. Workers authenticate with a simple PIN, making clock-in and clock-out faster than traditional systems.
Every time entry captures who worked, what operation they performed, which workstation, and exactly how long it took. Full traceability.
See every hour logged across your entire organization. Search by employee, job, operation, or workstation to find exactly what you need.
Each time entry shows who worked, what they did, where they did it, when they started, when they stopped, and the total duration. Full transparency.
If a worker forgets to stop their timer, managers can close it with a note. Audit trails capture every manual adjustment for compliance.
Add time entries after the fact for corrections, offline work, or retroactive adjustments. Keep your data accurate without friction.
Setting time estimates on operations is where your data becomes actionable. Set a target duration for each operation (e.g., "Assembly should take 2 hours 30 minutes"). When you save operation templates, those estimates carry forward to every new job, saving time and ensuring consistency.
As workers log time, Board compares actual duration against your estimate. If an operation runs over, you'll see it instantly with a red highlight — no waiting for end-of-week reporting. Over time, your estimates become benchmarks grounded in real production data. You'll know with confidence how long jobs actually take, making your quotes more accurate and your capacity planning far more reliable.
Sum of all time estimates for a job, giving you a baseline against which to measure execution.
Actual hours logged by workers, showing what really happened on the floor.
How many time entries were logged and which team members were involved in the job.
Red highlights when tracked time exceeds estimates, so you spot problems while there's still time to react.
Once you're capturing real production time, the insights multiply. Time data becomes the foundation for smarter decisions across your entire operation.
Price future work based on actual labor hours instead of guesses. After a few jobs, you'll know exactly what operations cost.
Understand your true throughput per workstation. Know how many similar jobs you can fit into next week based on historical data.
Find operations that consistently run over time. Focus improvement efforts where they'll have the biggest impact on delivery.
Commit to delivery dates with confidence. You'll know how long jobs actually take, not how long you hope they'll take.
Track whether a specific operation is getting faster or slower over time. Identify when training works and when processes need refinement.
Time tracking data doesn't live in isolation. On the kanban board, live worker badges show you who's currently working on each job and how much time they've spent. Time entries integrate seamlessly with kiosk mode and the mobile app, so workers see their timers wherever they are. And time data links to all the other Board features — job templates, workstations, operations — giving you a complete view of your production floor.
