Know exactly how long every repair actually takes
A live start/stop/pause timer built into the repair order, with inline timesheets and estimated-vs-actual tracking — no modal popups, no end-of-day guesswork.
The problem
Technicians finish a repair and then try to recall whether it took forty minutes or ninety. That reconstructed time either gets under-billed or never makes it into a timesheet at all, leaving managers with no reliable way to compare quoted time against what a repair actually cost in labor.
The solution
A start/stop/pause timer lives directly on the repair order form. Stopping it inlines a pre-filled, editable timesheet line — no wizard, no lost focus — and every order shows allocated time next to actual time so overruns are obvious at a glance.
Everything a repair team needs to capture labor
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Start / Stop / Pause / Resume Timer
A timer built into the repair order form header captures real labor time as work happens, with a pause option for part runs or breaks that resumes without losing accumulated time.
Always-Visible Elapsed Counter
A live, ticking counter stays on the form throughout the repair so the technician and manager can see running time at any moment without stopping the timer or reopening a view.
Inline Timesheet Confirmation
Stopping the timer pre-fills a timesheet line right on the order for the technician to confirm — no interrupting modal wizard, no leaving the form.
Quick-Duration Preset Buttons
One-tap 0.5h, 1h, and 2h preset buttons speed up logging for the cases where a timer was not running, replacing slow, error-prone manual typing.
Manual Add and Edit of Time Entries
Every timesheet line records owner, date, hours/minutes, and a description, and can be added or edited directly in the repair order's Time Log tab whenever a timer was not used.
Estimated vs. Actual Time Comparison
Allocated time and total logged time sit side by side on the order with a colored variance indicator, answering the core question — did this repair run over — on the spot.
One-Click Labor to Quotation
Recorded labor pushes to the linked sales quotation with a single button, converting captured time into billable lines without re-typing anything.
Configurable Repair Labor Product
Settings let each shop map logged time to the labor product and rate it actually bills, with a pre-configured labor product ready out of the box.
Role-Based Access Control
A dedicated security group gates who can start timers and log labor, keeping time data clean and accountable across the repair team.
How it works
Start the timer
The technician taps Start Timer on the repair order the moment work begins; a live counter starts ticking on the form.
Pause or resume as needed
A part run or shift break pauses the timer without losing accumulated time; resuming picks up exactly where it left off.
Stop and confirm
Stopping the timer inlines a pre-filled timesheet line right on the order — no popup, just a quick confirm.
Bill the recorded labor
One click pushes the logged labor to the linked quotation using the configured repair labor product.
