For many businesses, Outlook Calendar is the central hub for scheduling meetings, appointments, and tasks. Manually transferring this information into a time tracking system is not only tedious but also prone to errors and forgotten entries. Record'em solves this by offering seamless integration with Outlook Calendar, turning your schedule into accurate time records effortlessly.

Turn Your Outlook Schedule into Accurate Time Entries

Record'em's Outlook Calendar sync means your calendar events are automatically pulled into your time tracking dashboard. Instead of starting from scratch, you have a ready-made list of potential time entries based on your daily activities. This makes the process of logging time faster, more accurate, and much less of a chore.

How Outlook Sync Enhances Time Tracking Accuracy:

  • Automated Suggestions: Calendar events appear as suggested time entries in Record'em. You simply review, adjust details if needed (like project or client), and approve.
  • Reduced Manual Effort: Eliminate the need to remember and manually input every meeting or scheduled block of work.
  • Improved Completeness: Less chance of forgetting to log time for activities already on your calendar.
  • Better Compliance Data: Provides a clear, automated record of time spent in scheduled events, contributing to accurate reporting for the Working Time Directive.
  • Consistency Across Teams: Ensures that scheduled time is consistently captured for all team members using the sync.

A Key Component for EU Compliance

The EU Working Time Directive requires accurate records of working hours. Your Outlook Calendar holds valuable data about time spent in meetings, client calls, and dedicated work blocks. By syncing this data with Record'em, you build a robust, verifiable audit trail with minimal manual input. This is particularly crucial for teams managing multiple client projects or those with flexible/remote working arrangements.

Combining Outlook sync with Record'em's AI-powered suggestions and compliance checks creates a powerful system that automates data collection while proactively highlighting potential compliance issues before they become problems.

Easy Setup, Immediate Impact

Connecting your Outlook Calendar to Record'em is designed to be quick and intuitive. Once linked, you'll immediately start seeing your scheduled events appear as suggestions, transforming your time logging process from a manual burden into a simple review-and-approve task.

Stop letting manual time entry slow you down and put your compliance at risk. Leverage the power of your Outlook Calendar with Record'em's seamless sync for a more efficient, accurate, and compliant way to track time.
