We use SerialMagic Professional with a ROV scanner for time tracking/metrics. SerialMagic splits the barcode value between Task Type (first set of digits within barcode) and Project Number (second set of digits within barcode). We scan the barcode when we begin a task, the codes are sent to an access database, then before scanning the next task the time is calculated. The team’s metrics are gathered and compiled monthly. We have been able to provide much more detailed metrics since using this method. Additionally, because we are a service organization, we are able to use the SerialMagic to create different profiles containing customer numbers to add an even greater level of detail.
