FAST (Field and Service Timekeeping) is a reporting application that allows organizations to dispatch and collect reports for critical business operations. The data collected can then be used to process other operations. FAST will also collect time, signatures, validate data and make that available to your accounting software. Rather than setup projects, clients, rates, employees, and other information you already have, FAST has a full API to collect this information from other systems. This reduces setup and accounting issues. The software is fully customizable and can be used across several operational types and industries. We believe we started with the most complicated task and created easily understandable user input and organized useful outputs. As a client you can provide us your forms, or we can recommend a template for you. We will then provide access to both the reports and a website with all the information collected on the reports in an excel type searchable format. No longer do you have to look at reports to see your information across multiple projects, clients, employees, dates, and types. As a client we also give you full control of what to make required on a form to make sure your employees/contractors collect all the information you need.
