Cloud and synchronisation, what is it and how does it work?

Beside the android and iOS Timesheet Apps FINARX also offers a web-based possibility to track working times, the Timesheet Cloud.

With the Qlaqs WebCenter you can create, edit and delete working times. You can also create and manage master data, like e.g. customers, projects or tasks. Have a look:

But Timesheet Cloud offers you a lot more!

1. Backup: You can save the working times, tracked with your smartphone (timesheet app) in the Timesheet Cloud.
2. Synchronisation: With the help of Timesheet Cloud you can access your working times with several devices, like iPhone, iPad, android smartphone and pc. Due to the synchronisation your data are always available on all your devices!

How this works?  Quite simply!

To profite from the possibilities of Timesheet Cloud you need to register for it first. During registration process you will assign login data (client, user, password). With them you can login to our Qlaqs WebCenter.  During 30 days you can profit from the pro version of Timesheet Cloud without any charges. At the end of this free trial period your account will be downgraded to the free lite version. This implicates restrictions on the function range. You can find all necessary information here.
