Timesheets and Project Tracking

Timesheets and Project Tracking is a module within the Laby laboratory management platform designed to help research and development teams record, consolidate, and justify time spent on projects. It is aimed at laboratories and R&D organisations that need to account for personnel hours for internal management purposes as well as for administrative declarations such as CII (Crédit d'Impôt Innovation), CIR (Crédit Impôt Recherche), JEI (Jeune Entreprise Innovante) status, or subsidy justification.

The tool provides a structured way to track working time by person, team, project, and activity, and to generate the supporting documentation required to justify eligible personnel expenses on R&D projects.

• Customised dashboard for timesheet entry by individual users
• Calculation of timesheets broken down by person, team, project, and activity

• Collects and consolidates time spent data to support accurate project management

HR and Administrative Reporting

• Transmits summaries of working time and staff absences to the HR department
• Consultation of entered data filtered by period and by employee
• Excel export and synthetic tables with working time calculations
• Consolidation and rapid justification of eligible hours in the context of subsidies and public funding schemes

Performance Analysis and Visualisation

• Selection of key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to R&D project steering
• Graphical visualisation tools to support decision-making
• Graphs available directly within the dashboard as a management tool for R&D projects

Export and Reporting Capabilities

• Facilitates the creation of reports for administrative declarations
• Supports reporting for external service providers such as CROs (Contract Research Organisations)
• Provides synthetic tables and exportable data to streamline compliance documentation

Timesheets and Project Tracking is part of the broader Laby platform, which also includes modules for electronic laboratory notebooks, inventory and supply management, equipment and maintenance tracking, scientific bibliography management, quality documentation, and digital signature. The timesheet module functions both as an internal management tool and as a source of supporting documents to secure and optimise innovation financing.
