QR Code Time Tracking Web app
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
1. Project Overview
This time-tracking app will be used internally at Brightwater Joinery to track work progress on individual job sheets. Each job will be associated with a unique QR code, allowing workers to log their time efficiently by scanning the code and starting/stopping the timer. If the QR code is unavailable, users can manually enter the job number. Factory managers will have the ability to complete jobs after quality control, and the store manager will mark jobs as delivered when they are picked up. All data will be stored in a Google Sheet, including timestamps, staff member details, and the action performed (e.g., start, stop, finished, delivered).
2. Key Features
Login System:
Unique login for each staff member.
Factory workers can log in and track time per job.
Factory manager can mark jobs as finished after quality control.
Store manager can mark jobs as delivered once picked up.
QR Code Scanning and Manual Entry:
Workers will scan a QR code on each job sheet to identify the job.
If the QR code is unavailable, workers can manually enter the job number.
Start/Stop Time Tracking:
Workers will start the timer when beginning a task and stop it when pausing or finishing the task.
The Start button will be disabled if a worker has already started a job and has not yet stopped it.
Job Status Management:
Factory manager can mark a job as "Finished" after quality control.
Store manager can mark a job as "Delivered" once picked up.
3. Data Integration with Google Sheets
Each action (start, stop, finish, deliver) will be recorded in a Google Sheet.
The data stored will include:
Timestamp: When the action took place.
Staff Member: Who performed the action.
Action: Start, stop, finished, or delivered.
Job Number: From the scanned QR code or manually entered.
4. User Flow
Factory Worker:
Log in.
Scan the job sheet’s QR code or manually enter the job number.
Press "Start" to begin the job (only available if no other job is in progress).
Press "Stop" when pausing or finishing the job.
Factory Manager:
Log in.
Scan the QR code or enter the job number.
Press "Finish" after quality control to mark the job as complete.
Store Manager:
Log in.
Scan the QR code or enter the job number.
Press "Delivered" when the job is picked up or delivered.
5. Reports and Analysis
The Google Sheet will act as a database and can be used to generate reports on:
Total time spent on each job.
Jobs completed by each staff member.
Jobs that are delivered.
6. Security and Authentication
The app will require staff members to log in using a unique username and password, potentially leveraging Google account authentication for simplicity.
7. Timeline and Milestones
Week 1: Set up the basic app structure and connect it to the Google Sheet.
Week 2: Implement QR code scanning, manual job number entry, and time-tracking functionality.
Week 3: Develop manager-specific features (Finish and Deliver options).
Week 4: Testing, feedback collection, and final adjustments.
8. Support and Maintenance
Post-launch support for any bugs or issues.
Optional future updates to enhance reporting or expand functionality.
