Accurate records and an up-to-date administration are crucial in many businesses. But nobody likes the heaps of paperwork that come with time and activity registration. People in the field often feel that keeping track of their hours and tasks is not part of their job description.

Sense Solution
Sense developed a time and activity registration application for smartphone that automates a large part of the registration process. Based on sensors on the user's smartphone or in their environment, CommonSense recognizes where a professional is and what he is doing.

The smartphone app requests confirmation when it determines that a new task has started or a job has been completed. This way, all readings are confirmed, and CommonSense learns to interpret activities even better next time. The confirmed records are sent back to the administration via the phone's internet connection.

The app can be tailored to include other features such as full incident reports or sending notes to colleagues.

Sensor feeds that help determine activities include:

• GPS-location, GSM cell towers, WiFi connection (Sense Platform app for smartphone)
• Computer activity (Sense Desktop Sensor)
• Indoor location
• Planning tools and online calendar

Advantages:

• No hassle: time and activity registration is as easy as pressing a button
• Professionals can't forget to register tasks, because the app reminds them
• Registration is done immediately, so no sloppy or faulty reporting at the end of the day
