The Ultimate Time Management Solution for Your Business
Overall, Dovico is a powerful time tracking and project management software that can be a great choice for businesses of all sizes. Its ease of use and flexibility make it an ideal solution for companies with remote or distributed teams. However, the software's high price tag and complex setup process may be a deterrent for some businesses.
PROSAs a user of Dovico software in a mid-sized company, I've found the software to be a reliable and useful tool for tracking employee time and managing projects. One of the biggest pros of Dovico is its ease of use. The software has a clean and user-friendly interface, making it easy for employees to track their time and for managers to manage projects. The software also provides a range of tools for managing projects, including time tracking, scheduling, invoicing, and reporting. The software also offers integrations with a range of other business applications, including QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks.Another major advantage of Dovico is its flexibility. The software allows employees to track their time in a variety of ways, including via the web, mobile app, or even from their desktop. This makes it easy for employees to track their time no matter where they are, and for managers to get an accurate picture of how their teams are performing.
CONSHowever, there are also some downsides to using Dovico. One of the major cons of the software is that it can be a bit complicated to set up and configure. This can be especially true for small businesses that may not have dedicated IT staff to handle these tasks. Additionally, the software can be a bit pricey compared to some other time tracking solutions on the market.

Good solution but it could be improved :)
Dovico is solving our needs for reporting and invoicing our services to our customers.
CONSAt this point we are using two solutions to manage our support engineers time. One of them is Dovico, where they register the time they spent for our customers and another is MS Sharepoint where we create a schedule for them to know where they have to be in the next days. We would love to use the same application for both needs but unfortunately Dovico is not providing the right solution for that. My colleague that is in charge with scheduling our resources discussed with somebody from your support and they couldn't find a solution.
Vendor Response
Hi Mystery Shopper! Thank you for taking your time away from what you do best to leave us a review. I am glad that we are meeting your timekeeping and invoicing needs. Unfortunately, we do not have a scheduling component to our software as you are aware. I will forward your request to our design team for future consideration. With more demand, means more desire to help fill it. Thanks! Jeff

Good Software Tool if configured correctly at set up
I think the tool is easy to use for timesheet entry and for adminstrators and allows for plenty of tailoring to suit the organisational reporting needs.
CONSOur original set up configuration was not well thought through and it has been easy for the database to become huge, due to the number of task codes and multiple assignments. This has made it very difficult to control the amount of data.
Vendor Response
Hi Lindy, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to give us an honest review. I'm glad that you find our software easy to use and customizable. It is unfortunate that your original set-up was not up to your expectation. If you would like any assistance with cleaning up your data, or even archiving old data, please give us a call. Thanks again! Jeff

Dovico Analysis
Good process to manage the internal project under development by the engineers. I need to expend more time evaluating others possibility to use the system inside of company to manage others information from the projects under development.
PROSUsability and Process to create new project initiative.
CONSIt is not possible to customize a report based on user necessity without a special software. It is not easy to find APIs to integrate Dovico with others systems available inside of company. I want to integrate Dovico Timesheet with payroll system available inside of company to get human cost per hour automatically every month.
Vendor Response
Hi Mystery Shopper! Thank you for taking the time to give us a great and indepth review. I am glad that our software works well for your engineers. As far as the API integration, we do have an open API available for all hosted clients. Have you had a chance to explore it? Most information within the system is accessible via our API. Please do not hesitate to contact us for help using the API, we would be happy to help! Thanks again! Jeff

Great Time reporting tool
I have used Dovico for almost 9 years and found it to be a great management tool
PROSEase of use and the possible level of customization
CONSIt only has 2 level of activities: Project and Tasks. in some cases I could use a third level as this would reduce the number of items in tasks which are not really tasks. The tool could also be use for planning purposes but lacks some reporting in that area (Monthly time allocation-staff vs availability)
Vendor Response
Hi Denis, Thank you for taking time out of your day to give us a great review. I am glad to hear that our timesheet solution is easy to use and that you enjoy the customization aspects of it. I appreciate your in-depth suggestion about project leveling. I will send your ideas to our design team for their consideration (you are not the first client to have this request). As far as planning, we now offer a Resource Planning tool called Workload (https://www.dovico.com/resource-allocation-and-planning) I'm not sure if you have taken a look at this or not. Thanks again!

Engineering could have still more options and more user friendly navigation otptions
PROSTechnical support is great, accessible from anywhere
CONSThe software graphics as not been updated aver, still need more user friendly dashboard like the new Icloud QUickbook web site Archiving data from past employees should be left on project files, we sometime need to access this to compare profitability on past projects versus new ones More inquiry to be done on reports needed by users

Hi Michel! Thank you for spending some time to give us an honest review. We know we aren't perfect, but with your help in this review, we can get a little bit better.

Generally well liked and used and support over our very long association has been very good.

Great Web Based Timesheet System
Ease of use Tracking actuals vs budgets for all projects. Client invoicing Accessibility - access anywhere any time
CONSTimesheet process - wish we could have timesheets approved by email and not hard copy print outs. Our clients sign weekly timesheets which are used for billing and they all comment, that this is such old technology.
Vendor Response
Hi Pauline, Thank you for taking time to give us a great review. I am happy to hear that you value the mobility of our software. While we do not have email approvals, hoever we do have approval processes in the software itself. Emails are send to various approving managers who would in turn approve the electronic timesheet that was filled in by the employee. I hope this helps! Thanks again! Jeff

Multiple Techteams Timetracking (7 teams, 80 users)
Engineers hate spending time in filling in timetracking data , repetitive discipline reminders are required. Luckily the software and ease of use is well accepted and brings down this barrier.
PROSEase of use, intuitive approach, requires only a 1h startup training for new users
CONSBeing powerfull it requires some adjustments to find the right setup (preliminar admin tasks not to be underestimated), once found the correct setup & working methodology : easy to use

Dovico for a Small company with lots of short term projects
Overall, it has worked well for our company.
PROSIt is extremely easy to use and very intuitive - almost anything I need to do I can figure out without having to ask for help.
CONSWe also use it for billing and there is no easy way to figure out what hours have been billed and what haven't been.

Great program with some suggested updates.
so far so good.
PROSEasy to use and internet based is great for employees out the office.
CONSchanges recommended. 1. once time sheet project is clicked it would be great if it can be automatically minimized and separated out of the internet software to its own link and not left as a tab. Any given day many other tabs are opened at the same time and sometimes a quick close of the internet engine closed what I want to close but inadervantly closed dovico time sheet as well. This is and should be a background program for most people, not a primary program, so although you may think it needs to front and center, I prefer it to be in the background minimized automatically on its own internet connection and expanded when you click on it. I think this was how it was when it was a program run on the computer, not internet based. 2. I would like the list of the projects to have the option to list in the opposite order from top to the bottom. over the years I have accumulated many project numbers and when adding new and working on more recent project numbers I have to always scroll down the page to the bottom which is a pain. should be like outlook where you can simply switch the list up or down. Thx
Vendor Response
Hi Andrew! Thank you for your time in writing a very helpful review! I am glad our software is easy for you to get the job done. Mobility in the engineering field is crucial so I am glad we fit the bill. Also, a huge thank you for providing such a detailed list of suggestions. I have posted them on our design team Slack channel so that they can take them into consideration upon future releases. Something even as small as a different order to a list of projects can make a huge difference. Thanks again! Jeff

We have gotten spoiled!
Before we started using Dovico in 2008, each employee was using a company spread sheet to manually keep track of time and printing them off to hand in every month. Besides the pros listed above, the huge time savings during billing and payroll more than offset the price. Dovico was the first time tracking software we tried and the only thing we have used. We have shopped around several times since we started using Dovico and haven't found anything that even comes close!
PROSWithout a doubt the best thing about this software is the reports. At times we have 50 active billable clients and Dovico gives us the reports we need to make sure they all get billed properly. We did the locally hosted platform for 5 or 6 years before switching over to the Dovico hosted version. Having Dovico host the software has made it possible for employees to log their hours when working in the field which is a huge plus!
CONSThe only complaint we have had, and complaint is a stronger work than necessary, is the price increases. We have shopped around and found cheaper services but we haven't found anything that even come close to Dovico's reports. We are spoiled and we gladly pay our annual subscription!
Vendor Response
Hi Steve, Thank you for taking your time to give us an amazing review! I am so glad that we have made your billing process so much easier and accurate. Please understand that we take much care in increasing our prices. The last time we increased our prices was in 2012, so we try not to make it a habit. I hope we continue to give you value and please, let us know if we can give you more. Thanks again! Jeff

The timesheet software that is not a spreadsheet
The corporate time is captured properly and one is able to make an analysis as to who spends what and where. The expenses are easy to track and one can question the authenticity of the expense as the description is required. This software is truly a one-stop-shop for capturing time and expenses.
PROSDovico captures all that relates to a consulting engineering company in respect of time and expenses. The fact that supporting documents can be uploaded to support a claim made borders on the horizon between ordinary timesheet software and real and practical timesheet tools. The pie charts give the supervisor that added advantage of looking and evaluating where most time is spent and a drill down can be done with ease.
CONSAt times it is a bit difficult to get support online but as soon as you send an email to the support team, the help comes trough. I am not so sure what can be done to make it easy to get help online.

Excellent Software
The timesheet allows the employee to post their hours to each specific project and it allows supervisors to monitor the project hours and make sure each employee is recording their hours properly and correct them if entered incorrectly. Overall, we don't have any software issues where something would be carried over incorrectly into Quickbooks. The Dovico Link works very well to transmit hours into Quickbooks.
PROSVery use friendly. Easy to teach new employee's how to use. Layout of timesheet is very self-explanatory. Like the fact that you can log in from anywhere's and enter your time or do any maintenance work. Also like the mobile app.
CONSRestricted as far as using the program with Quickbooks payroll portion. Rather than setting up the software as it is meant to be used (meaning to use for tracking the actual job task) we have to use the "Tasks" to correspond with the employee's title in order for payroll to submit correctly.
Vendor Response
Hi Trish! Thank you for your awesomely detailed review! Your feedback is certainly appreciated. I'm glad that you find the mobility side of our timesheet solution valuable. Continually improving our Quickbooks integration has always been on our plate. In fact, just yesterday around the lunchroom, we were discussing what needs to be changed and upgraded in terms of our Quickbooks integration. I'll forward your concerns to the team so that they are aware of them. Thanks again for your time! Jeff

A+++ - Anytime/Anywhere/Amazing
The allocation/tracking is extremely helpful. The reporting, generic as well as the customized will do a world of good for any company. This is one of the best tools that we use in house.
PROSIt is very user friendly. We have all offices using DOVICO (PA, NY & United Kingdom) from the inner office employees to the on site inspectors. They can upload/enter their hours any time, no excuses. Very helpful in time tracking/allocating.
CONSI'm not sure if it's an internal issue we need to work on or something with the software - For some reason the Start and end dates do not always match on the employees and I will have to go in and adjust them so everyone is aligned.

Fits Our Time Tracking Needs Perfectly
As an accountant for a manufacturing company, I’ve been very satisfied using Dovico’s time tracking software for our business’ time (expense) tracking needs. We have multiple companies under one umbrella corporation, and we have employees that frequently split their time between jobs for our different companies. With Dovico I’m able to track the time spent by employees on different projects. I can easily pull a report that shows me the details of the labor by person, project and task. It’s a good tool that gets the job done and fits our needs very well.
PROSGreat report writing feature that allows you to customize reports to your needs and is easy to use. I often find my self customizing reports for one reason or another, to pull specific data that we need to look at. The report writing tool is intuitive to use and plenty robust. Reports can be generated and imported into spreadsheets for analysis.
CONSThe software is great, and I have no complaints. Now if only I could get all employees to make sure to record their hours on time each week without being prompted multiple times…!
Vendor Response
Thank you, Cher!! We appreciate your super awesome review and your business. So glad to hear that reporting is such a valuable piece of your Dovico experience. We have great pride in our reporting capabilities. As far as getting your employees to file time each week, we're also trying to help in that regard. But we've heard that leading with love and respect to their busy day goes a long way. Thanks again! Jeff
