"Inaccurate time tracking is costing UK businesses thousands every year — but fixing it is easier than you think."
In every business, time is the most valuable resource — yet it’s also the easiest to lose track of. Whether you run a small retail store, manage a construction crew, or operate multiple office locations, accurately recording working hours is essential for controlling costs and keeping staff happy.
Unfortunately, many UK businesses still rely on outdated, manual systems — paper timesheets, Excel spreadsheets, or unreliable punch cards. These methods may seem “good enough” but they often hide expensive problems.

That’s time managers could be using to drive sales, improve service, or grow the business.

Inconsistent or unfair tracking damages trust between employees and management. This can result in:
