Replicon Web TimeSheet: Review

In the words of the father of modern management Peter Drucker, “time is the scarcest resource available.” That can be distantly construed as the dogma behind optimal utilization of time. The timesheets have inevitably automated the time tracking and management for businesses enabling more reliable accounting of the project costs. Several companies are adopting web-based timesheet software for efficient time management. These software are being increasingly used to track time for payroll, billing and project management.  We had already listed some of web based timesheet software in my top 10 timesheet software timesheet. We also reviewed one of the online timesheet services, free web based TimeLive timesheet. The other day We came across the Replicon’s web timesheet software.
