Solutions — Shop Floor Manager

Built for shop floor managers in Aerospace & Defense.

Timekeeping software for the shop floor manager. Certify timesheets, manage schedules, and own daily compliance on the floor — all from one view.

Solution Overview

One floor, one source of truth.


AutoTime gives shop floor managers a single, real-time view of their team — who's on the floor, what they're working on, who's out, and where labor hours stand against the day's plan. Instead of chasing paper or reconstructing the week at period end, supervisors review and certify timecards for a day, a week, or a full pay period from one place, with a documented per-employee audit trail behind every signature.

When something has to change, AutoTime keeps managers in control without compromising compliance. Corrections require a reason code and trigger the right re-certifications, common exceptions are surfaced through configurable filters, and leave requests are approved or denied against live balances. Productivity and utilization roll up into dashboards built for the floor — giving first-line leaders the defensible, DCAA-ready oversight auditors expect and the operational clarity they need to run their shift.

Key Benefits

Give supervisors control without the busywork.

DCAA-required approvals, all in one place

Managers see all of their employees in one centralized location and can sign off on timecards for a single day, a week, or an entire pay period — viewing all changes or just the ones they initiated.

Easily manage employee schedules

A real-time view of the floor: what work is being performed, who is absent, and which resources are scheduled later in the day — with quick edits for last-minute changes.

Productivity & utilization reporting

Configurable accumulators let you define what counts as "productive" time, surfaced through dashboards and KPI widgets that make performance visible at a glance.

Leave review and approval

A central dashboard for all pending leave requests — approve or deny with messages, and compare each request against active balances to stay aligned with company policy.

Corrections and exceptions management

Filter timesheets for review based on a configured list of common exceptions, then easily edit or update timecards to correct invalid entries or replace errant punches.

Features & Capabilities

Defensible certification, by design.

Supervisor correction handling

Documented per-employee review with a full audit trail — not a bulk click-through — giving supervisors a defensible basis for every certification.

Real-time team visibility

See which direct reports are currently on the floor, with posted time entries summarized and open labor hours surfaced.

Corrections & certifications

When a timesheet is updated after the fact, the system keeps a trail of changes and requires a reason code. Sign policies define whether the employee, manager, or both must re-certify.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

Can employees have multiple supervisors that manage their timecards?

Yes — AutoTime supports various levels of management, including a single direct supervisor, a group of managers, or a hierarchy of resources at different levels of the organization.

How do supervisors manage long-running jobs on the floor?

When long-running jobs are imported into AutoTime, users can assign expected effort to each portion of the job. As employees post labor to each operation, supervisors can run reports detailing remaining effort versus the original estimate and the time already posted.

Is there one place my supervisors can see exactly what's happening on the floor at any moment?

Supervisors can set the Supervisor Dashboard as their landing page — a group of pre-configured widgets showing current floor activity, employee sign status, and productivity metrics. The Supervisor Review form provides live status detail and the ability to act on timecards and post corrections.

My supervisors all use different reports. How flexible is AutoTime's reporting engine?

AutoTime offers a pre-defined list of standard reports for audit detail and employee status. Admins can also build custom reports from scratch and modify them as needed, giving every supervisor exactly the information they need to manage their resources.
