An alternative to the weekly timesheet spreadsheet
Opeux Clocks replaces the weekly timesheet spreadsheet that small teams fill in from memory on a Sunday night. Staff clock in by site on a phone browser, timesheets generate automatically and approvals are ready for payroll without anyone hunting through chat threads.
What teams use today
Most small teams either run on a paper timesheet that gets typed up later, or a shared spreadsheet that one person owns and chases. Hours are estimated, sites are guessed and disputes are resolved from memory.
Why that breaks
Memory-based timesheets are inaccurate, late and stressful for both staff and owners. Spreadsheets do not stamp a real time, do not record which site someone was on and do not stop two staff entering the same hours twice.
How Opeux is different
Opeux Clocks gives staff a phone browser link to clock in by site. The system stamps the time, captures the site and turns it into a weekly timesheet ready for approval. There is a live who-is-on-site board for the owner.
Old way vs Opeux way
How to switch
- 1.Add your staff list and active sites into Opeux Clocks.
- 2.Send the clock-in link to staff and run for one week alongside the spreadsheet.
- 3.Compare the two at the end of the week — usually Opeux is more accurate.
- 4.Switch payroll to use the Opeux export.
- 5.Retire the timesheet spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Do staff need to install an app?
No. Opeux Clocks runs in a phone browser.
Can staff clock in for the wrong site?
Sites are pre-assigned for the day, with a quick override if plans change.
Can the owner see who is on site right now?
Yes. The live who-is-on-site board updates as staff clock in.
Does it integrate with payroll?
Approved timesheets export cleanly to CSV for any payroll system.
Can staff edit their own hours?
Staff can request a correction; the owner approves the change with an audit trail.
Is there a free plan to try Opeux?
Yes. Every Opeux tool has a free tier you can run alongside your existing spreadsheets while the team gets used to it. You only pay when you outgrow the limits or want a paid feature.
How long does a typical small team take to switch?
Most small teams are productive on a single Opeux tool within an hour of importing their core list, and have the tool fully bedded in within two weeks. Adding more tools after that is faster because the workspace, customers and contacts are already set up.
Who owns the data inside Opeux?
You do. Every tool exports cleanly to CSV or PDF at any time, so you can leave with your data if you ever need to. There is no lock-in by design.
Does Opeux work on a phone for staff in the field?
Yes. Every Opeux tool runs in a phone browser with no app to install, so field staff can clock in, log usage, view jobs and update records without a laptop.
How does Opeux handle access for different staff?
Each workspace supports role-based access so owners, managers and field staff only see what they should. You can invite a bookkeeper or accountant with limited access, and revoke it cleanly when they finish.
What support is available if we get stuck?
Every plan includes email support and a searchable help centre with short walkthroughs. Paid plans add faster response times and onboarding sessions for the team.
Can we keep using our existing accounting tool?
Yes. Opeux is designed to sit next to your accounting tool, not replace it. Quotes, invoices and sales export cleanly so the bookkeeper stays in the same workflow.
