It takes me three times less time to enter technicians' hours. The Quick entry feature allows me to add a technician without waiting for a contract to be assigned to them. I can thus quickly finalize the daily hours.
Also, when more than one team member have the same hours, I only have to copy them by clicking on the Copy hours button. It saves me data entry time. Setpad is an indispensable tool for timesheet management!
I have been using Setpad continuously for 2 years, and it has been a very suitable tool for the production and management of contracts, hot costs and, in my case, the calculation of timesheets.
I save a lot of time with the automatic timesheet calculation, which is always up to date with any modification to the collective agreement rules. For a production accountant like me, this tool is very important and necessary in my daily work.
Setpad is very user-friendly, and all PDF and Excel reports are easy to understand. And there is a report for pretty much everything we need!
The service and support from the team are flawless. They are always listening and open to suggestions and changes.
Setpad has allowed me to significantly reduce the time spent entering the hours worked by technicians, and the errors due to the pace and the number of hours I have to manage. With one click, I have access to multiple choices to properly perform my data entry work. I recommend it!
The Setpad platform is so convenient, user friendly and just keeps getting better over the years. Anik and her team are really attentive to the current needs of the film industry and are constantly improving their application. They are always available to give training or answer our questions. The capacity to consolidate as many elements as necessary for the proper functioning of a production on the same platform minimizes the risk of errors and allows consistency and efficiency that were not possible before.
Ideal for productions where timesheets need to be processed by department and in bulk. Data automation saves a lot of time! I recommend it!
