Shop time tracking that feeds job cost, not a side spreadsheet
When hours live outside the job, actual labor cost is always a guess. LiteLedger lets you log time against the job so labor lands in the same place as POs and receipts.
This is intentionally lightweight. You get manual time logging tied to jobs. LiteLedger does not try to be a full scheduling system or a complex approval engine.
Actual cost with fewer holes
Quoted and committed tell part of the story. Time closes the loop on what the shop really spent. Keeping it on the job makes month-end reviews less of a scavenger hunt.
Here's what that looks like in practice.
Shop Time Tracking
| Employee | Job | Hours | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| John | Steel Frame | 8 | $600 |
| Sara | Steel Frame | 6 | $450 |
| Mike | Rail Package | 4.5 | $337.50 |
Labor time feeds actual job cost without turning the shop into a timesheet project.
