Work efficiency

How many hours you plan and how long the work on site really takes. The report compares the plan with actual time on every project and work type, and shows projects without recorded hours, which inflate the margin.

01What it is

A project's plan is the total of its tasks' estimated hours, or the hours from the quote when there are none. Actual time is the total of closed attendance entries. The difference shows how much longer or shorter the work took than expected.

Estimate accuracy calculates the deviation for each work type, taken from the task named in the attendance entry. The average deviation is counted only from projects that have a plan, and above 15% it is marked as a warning.

The report is visible to people with the finance permission when the company has extended mode switched on.

PLAN AND ACTUAL: Hours on every project.
ACCURACY: Deviation by work type.
COMPLETENESS: Projects without recorded hours.
