Meet TimeFiler.

Built around how your sites run: transparent time records, configurable pay rules and automated payments. Used by 800+ organisations across Australia and New Zealand. 

TimeFiler is a highly configurable workforce system for Australian and New Zealand organisations who operate in healthcare, construction, manufacturing, non-profit, logistics and other industries with complex workforce and pay requirements. TimeFiler can capture time data, manage rosters as they change, and take leave approvals through to payroll, all in one platform. The result is fewer timesheets to chase and fewer errors to fix after the pay has run. 

Your business,
your requirements,
your solution.

TimeFiler offers a wide range of features and solutions, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your business. You can utilise the full suite or handpick the functionality you need, with the option to tailor your system to suit your specific requirements.

Here are just a few of the ways TimeFiler can support your business.

Timesheet summary

Automate timesheet keeping

Integration between business applications is increasingly important. TimeFiler offers APIs and a host of other tools to achieve automated integration with almost any application or service you want, including single sign-on, enterprise resource planning, and business intelligence.

Leave summary

Plan rosters and leave management

Keep your employees refreshed and make your payments compliant. TimeFiler lets you manage your workflow and approvals process, as well as variable rosters, public holidays, multiple leave types and projected accruals, all from the one place.

Paysheet summary

Manage and process a pay run

Paysheets are built directly from approved timesheets, with hours, leave rates, allowances, and overtime calculated automatically and fully visible. 

Why organisations love TimeFiler

Seamless integration with your payroll

Seamless integration 

All our systems are configured to work around your existing software and payroll, integrating with relevant third-party data. Interpreting user data entry via complex calculations, TimeFiler gives you the benefit of working within what feels like a single system.

Easily accessible from any device, including our native web app

Works in any browser and on mobile.

Get access to timesheets, rosters, leave management forms and payslips on the go. With one centralised, online system, you and your employees can access and update TimeFiler through your phone or laptop without extensive software installation.

Remove the undue expense from holidays

We take the guesswork out of public holiday pay

Understanding who is entitled to a public holiday, when time in lieu applies and what rate employees should be paid can be complicated. TimeFiler automatically identifies rostered days and public holiday requests, applying the correct entitlement and pay rate so you can feel confident nothing is missed. 

Higher accuracy, better results

Higher accuracy, better results

Know who took leave, what type and whether they had sufficient balance to cover it. TimeFiler automates the process. Time is captured as the work happens, leave is approved with the type and balance in front of the approver, and checked information goes through to payroll.

What people are saying about TimeFiler

Our customers

United Civil

United Civil

Prior to TimeFiler, all of United Civil’s payroll and timesheets were handled manually, including the review process for payroll.

"We don’t have any missing timesheets anymore, and we process weekly payroll faster and with a lot less angst."

AW Fraser

AW Fraser

AW Fraser is a leading supplier of bronze and brass components worldwide, exporting 98% of its goods to Australasia, Asia, Europe, America, and the Middle East.

“We didn’t upgrade the payroll system in the end because TimeFiler has the brains; it can bolt into any payroll system we want.”

Port Taranaki

Port Taranaki

Port Taranaki, located in New Plymouth, is a busy port dealing in shipments from petrol chemicals to logs, fertilisers, feeds and more.

“I’d recommend it, especially if someone is using Datacom as a sister app. [TimeFiler] reduces leave issues and how leave is managed.”

CityFitness

CityFitness

CityFitness has been on a mission to support and inspire Kiwis on their individual fitness and health journeys for over twenty years.

“Yes! Obviously, we’ve used it for so long, so it’s hard to talk about what we did before. But other than the fact that TimeFiler itself is awesome, the team can customise the app to your needs and dealing with them is always so easy. I’ve never felt that when I’ve contacted them, they’re not interested in listening to what I’ve had to say and have always presented a solution for going forward.”

New Zealand Aviation Security Service

All 800 employees moved from paper to online timesheets. Big training job? Not at all.

"I don’t consider myself a computer whiz, but you don’t need to be to operate TimeFiler. A few clicks and you are finished."

Environment Southland

A time for change.

"Working with TimeFiler was great. I half joked during the online demonstration we had on Thursday about them being on-site on Monday morning, and they were!"

St. John

Previously spent 3-4 hours on paper timesheets. Now the job is done within one hour.

Reduced number of enquiries to chase up.

Needed consistent treatment for everyone around start and end times. 

"Workers appreciate the transparency of clocking in and out – it ensures consistent treatment for everyone around start and end times. The System is easy to use, even less tech-savvy employees are using it. Our payroll processing time has been reduced by 2-5 hours per pay run, with little manual intervention required now."

 

Integrate TimeFiler with your other systems

Replacing a payroll system is costly, and most businesses would rather avoid it. TimeFiler can also work alongside your existing payroll and handles what it can’t: improving time tracked, rosters planned and leave requested.

 

Connects to your other systems too

TimeFiler’s APIs and integration tools let you link it with the other applications your business relies on, including:

  • Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
  • Business intelligence and reporting tools

Eliminate second guessing

Maximise efficiency and streamline your business with TimeFiler.
