Trade businesses on AroFlo:

Stop spending Monday chasing timesheets.

Every workday morning, anyone who hasn't logged their hours in AroFlo gets an email listing the days they're missing. It chases them so the office doesn't have to.

Five quick questions, then a 20-minute demo.

The wall: each staff member's row of workdays, green for logged, yellow for half a day, red for nothing, with a reminder stage of 1st, 2nd or Final next to each name.

The main feature

It sends the reminder. Every morning. Without you.

Real screens, not a mock-up

Already running, on AroFlo.

We built this for a 50-person air conditioning business that runs on AroFlo. It reads their timesheets every 30 minutes, shows who hasn't logged their hours, and sends the reminder emails itself. The screenshots below use demo data with made-up staff, so we're not showing anyone's real hours.

Dashboard: 67% of workdays logged, 7 of 20 staff fully up to date, 39 workdays with nothing logged, 370 hours unaccounted for.

Reminders screen: send time 7:00 am, three notice levels, and a list of who gets an email on the next send.
The reminders screen: send time, which notices go out, and who's getting one tomorrow (demo data). See it full size
People screen: each staff member with their manager, daily minimum hours and whether they need to log.

How it works

Three steps. Most of it's on us.

  1. Book a 20-minute demo

    We show you the screens and ask how your team logs hours now.

  2. We connect it

    You switch on AroFlo's API in Site Administration and pass us the access details. We connect it and load your staff list. Nothing to install on anyone's phone.

  3. You stop chasing

    You approve the staff list and the email wording, switch the reminders on, and it takes over the mornings.

What you control

Your rules, not ours

Who has to logSwitch off the office, apprentices on paper, anyone who doesn't timesheet.
What a full day is7.6 hours unless you say otherwise, and a lower minimum for part-timers.
What gets sentYour send time, your wording, and which of the three notices go out.

Good fit

  • Your team logs time in AroFlo, or is meant to
  • Five or more people in the field
  • Someone in the office spends time every week chasing hours
  • Payroll, job costing or invoicing waits on timesheets that aren't in

Not a fit

  • You don't use AroFlo
  • Fewer than five people logging time
  • You want a payroll system. This chases the hours; it doesn't pay them

Who you'll be talking to

G'day, I'm Jake.

I run UpBound, a small team in Taree NSW. We look after websites, phone systems, IT and custom apps for local businesses, a lot of them in the trades.

We built this for an air conditioning business whose office was sick of chasing timesheets. It worked, so now we're offering it to other businesses on AroFlo. The demo is with me, not a sales team.

Straight answers

Questions you'd ask

Won't the team just ignore the emails?

Some will, at first. That's why it steps up: after two days outstanding the office gets a copy, and the dashboard shows exactly who's behind, so the conversation is one name, not twenty.

Does it change anything in AroFlo?

No. It only reads your staff list and timesheets. Your team keeps logging hours in AroFlo exactly like they do now.

What about leave, RDOs and public holidays?

Leave and RDOs logged in AroFlo count as a full day, NSW public holidays are skipped, and today never counts until it's over. If someone's day is fine for another reason, you approve it with one click and they won't get an email for it.

Will it nag people who don't need to log hours?

No. You switch off anyone who doesn't timesheet, and set a lower daily minimum for part-timers. New staff in AroFlo show up on their own, and people you archive drop off.

Can I check the emails before they go out?

Yes. It ships switched off. You can preview who would be emailed without sending anything, and send everything to a test address first.

Who sends the emails?

Your own office address, so replies come back to you. We set that up on Microsoft 365. If you're on something else, ask us in the demo.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You open it in a browser, behind a sign-in for your team. Nothing goes on anyone's phone.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of your team. You'll get a fixed price in the demo, and there's no lock-in contract.

Next Monday, let it do the chasing.
