We know that it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of special events or upcoming appointments for your business. Was the vet coming by Thursday or Friday? What time is the farmer's market supposed to start? When are you scheduled to make this weeks CSA delivery? Farmbrite has a solution that will help you stay organized - while the Schedule may look like a simple calendar at first glance, it has many unique selections and abilities that can help you organize your work and manage your business operations. You'll be able to create events to track things like vet visits, livestock shows, and farmers markets. You can also add Tasks to the calendar so you can see the work that needs to be done around your farm. These events and tasks can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. The schedule also offers an Activity Journal that helps you record the day to day activities that happen at your business like visits and deliveries. You can also publicize your calendar to automatically sync it with your exiting iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook Calendar. Beyond that, you'll find an entire section for staff timesheets here as well to help you track the hours your employees work each day and then export them to a separate payroll service.
Your team is absolutely critical for the day to day operations of your farm, and tracking what they are working on, and for how long, can be just as important for your business goals. Of course you'll want to know the days and hours they worked to compensate them, but tracking the tasks they worked on and how long each took can also help you streamline operations and gain efficiencies. Farmbrite's timesheet feature let's your employees add their tasks and hours directly through the app, where you can review and approve what they submitted. You can run a report to see total hours worked, and export the data to a spreadsheet to send to a separate payroll software. Overall, you'll create weekly timesheets for your employees that they can add tasks and hours to. Each task can be as specific as you require, from "cleaning stall B in Barn 2" to "misc. farm work", the choice is up to you.
