    Yes.  

    This is a very under-utilised function that has been included in Pro and above since v4 (1996)

    The timer program is included in the installation files in a folder called Reckon Pro Timer.  You can install it on each employees computer and they can use it to record job information.


    At the end of the week/month, the jobs are exported from each employee and imported into Reckon as a timesheet entry.

    There are also other programs that just use the Reckon timer features.  I personally use an iPhone app called QuickTimer published by William Modesitt. It's only $6.49 and can export to itunes, email or dropobox.

    I have set up a plumber with this and it works well. He uses an iPod touch that is left in the van (as opposed to left on the bar at the pub friday after work!).  Staff enter times and notes on completion of job, then at the end of the day when back at the shed use wifi to export the file to dropbox.  Bookkeeper imports files next day ready for invoicing.  Hardware and software cost was under $300 per vehicle.



    I would be happy to help you set it up in your business.

    Is it compatible with Reckon One?

    Actually, Reckon One has its own iphone app so you should be able to enter the data directly into the program
