Timesheet and Overtime Reporting
See hours and overtime costs across teams in one place.
Timesheets often sit in different systems, so leaders cannot see overtime building up until the bill arrives. We bring the data together into one clear dashboard, so you can act before costs run away.
Why is overtime so hard to control?
Hours come from rosters, payroll and time clocks that do not talk to each other. By the time the numbers are added up, the overtime is already spent.
Bring timesheet data into one view
Hours from rosters and payroll pulled into a single view.
Spot overtime before it is paid
Overtime flagged early, while you can still act on it.
Give managers numbers they trust
Clear, current figures managers can rely on.
What poor timesheet visibility costs you
When you cannot see hours in time, money leaks. Overtime and casual costs run over budget. Managers make calls without the full picture. Finance spends days pulling numbers together by hand. And the same staff end up overworked because no one can see the load.
Overtime and casual costs over budget
Costs blow out because no one sees them until payday.
Decisions made without the full picture
Rostering calls made blind to the real hours.
Days lost building reports by hand
Staff waste days stitching timesheet reports together.
We bring the hours together and make them clear
We connect your timesheet sources into one place, then build a dashboard that shows hours, overtime and cost by team. Managers see it live, so they can act in the week, not the month after.
Connect the sources
We bring data from your rosters, time clocks and payroll into one place, even when the systems are different.
Model the hours
We model hours, overtime and cost in a clean, reliable way, so the numbers add up the same every time.
Build the dashboard
We build a Power BI dashboard that shows hours and overtime by team, site and pay type, in plain view.
Alert on the limits
We set alerts so managers hear about overtime as it builds, in time to make a different call.
The result: overtime you can see and manage in the week, not a surprise on the next pay run.
Customer Spotlight
How this works in practice
A services business with shift and casual staff could not see overtime until payroll closed each month. We brought the timesheet sources together, modelled the hours and built a live dashboard by team and site. Managers could finally see the cost building and act on it.
The outcome
One view of hours across teams
Overtime seen in the week, not the month
Less manual work at pay time
Clear numbers managers can act on
Safe by design
AI is only useful if you can trust it. We build automation and agents you can stand behind in an internal review or in front of a regulator. We design for Australian data and privacy expectations, which matters most in government, health, education and financial services. Your data is never used to train public models.
Controls we build in
- Identity controls
- Least-privilege access
- Clear data-handling rules
- Audit logs
- Human handoffs
Other examples of our work
What good looks like
Building Services Contractor
Microsoft Fabric
The client wanted to try Microsoft Fabric before a wider rollout.
We stood up a pilot with OneLake, daily data pipelines and a curated Power BI report on their key data.
Outcomes
- Early wins on key datasets
- A reusable base to grow on
- Stronger in-house data skills
Life Insurer
Power BI
The client needed clear reporting across agent performance, claims, sales and profitability, but manual work held it back.
We built a set of Power BI reports across the business.
Outcomes
- Reporting across the business
- Trends tracked over time
- Faster, better decisions
Insurance Provider
SharePoint + Power Platform
An unsupported SharePoint 2010 setup was a security risk and held back HR and Payroll.
We moved this insurance provider to SharePoint Online and rebuilt the key forms and approvals in Power Platform.
Outcomes
- Payback in six months, not two years
- Sensitive HR data better protected
- One setup for staff worldwide
Retirement Living Operator
Microsoft Fabric
Their reporting was manual and split across separate apps, each with its own licence.
We built one Microsoft Fabric platform, modelled the data and set up Power BI, with training to extend it.
Outcomes
- One platform, many sources
- Clean, reliable data
- Team trained to build on it
State Ombudsman
Fabric + Purview
The client was moving data off old on-premises systems and needed it governed.
We set up a Microsoft Fabric workspace and a plan for Purview, aligned to state rules.
Outcomes
- Cloud-ready data platform
- Retention and security covered
- Aligned to state rules
Electricity Transmission Operator
SharePoint + Power Automate
The client was moving its Objective records system to the cloud, but files kept falling out of sync with SharePoint, which put compliance at risk.
We built a Power Automate integration that keeps files up to date between Objective and SharePoint Online, in line with their cybersecurity rules.
Outcomes
- Less manual document handling
- Files kept current in SharePoint
- Stronger data protection and compliance
Children’s Services Group
Power BI
Building each marketing list by hand was so slow the data was out of date before a campaign went out.
We linked their Power BI data to Mailchimp so the lists now update on their own.
Outcomes
- Campaign prep cut by 95%
- From days down to minutes
- Staff run their own reports
Pharmaceutical Company
Power BI
The client’s Power BI reports needed more speed, clearer visuals and a shared home so teams could work from the same numbers.
We rebuilt the reports in a shared workspace, tuned them for speed and redesigned the visuals for both leaders and analysts.
Outcomes
- Faster, easier-to-read dashboards
- One shared source for reporting
- Clearer insight for decisions
Ports Operator: AI Scheduling Agent
Microsoft Copilot
Staff extracted shipment scheduling data from email attachments and websites manually, so reporting ran late and sources never quite lined up.
We built an AI agent that reads the attachments and websites itself, files the data and flags changes to stakeholders.
Outcomes
- Schedules gathered automatically
- One source of truth
- Changes flagged as they happen
Outside School Hours Care Provider: Voice AI Agent
Copilot Studio
Directors spent much of each day answering policy calls from centre managers, covering everything from incident reporting to child safety rules. Answers varied between people, and many frontline staff speak English as a second language.
We built a voice-enabled AI agent, grounded only in the client’s policies, that answers first so Directors do not have to.
Outcomes
- Directors freed from routine calls
- Consistent answers every time
- Inclusive for bilingual staff
Common questions about timesheet reporting
What does a timesheet dashboard show?
It brings hours, overtime and cost into one live view, broken down by team, site and pay type. Managers can see where overtime is building and act before the pay run, instead of finding out after.
Can it pull from more than one timesheet system?
Yes. Many businesses have hours spread across rosters, time clocks and payroll. We connect those sources into one place, even when they do not normally talk to each other.
Which tools do you use?
We usually build the dashboard in Power BI, with Power Automate moving the data and Dataverse or your existing systems holding it. It runs inside your Microsoft environment.
Will it work with our payroll system?
In most cases, yes. We connect to common payroll and rostering systems, and we can work with an export where a direct link is not available.
How quickly can we see results?
We usually have a first dashboard running in a few weeks, starting with the teams where overtime costs the most.
Who normally uses the dashboard?
Line managers and whoever owns the labour budget. Managers look at their own team, finance looks across the business, and both see the same numbers.
How current is the data?
That is a choice. Daily is enough for most businesses, but where overtime moves quickly we refresh more often. We set it to match how fast you can actually act.
Can it flag problems rather than wait to be checked?
Yes. Thresholds can trigger an alert, so a manager hears about unusual overtime while they can still do something about it.
