The Challenges of the Time and Service Tracking
College Campuses today provide many diverse services and learning centers to students and staff. The success of these institutions depend on providing students and staff with well-rounded experiences that allow them to utilized their knowledge in learning centers and to take part in various activities on campuses from computer usage to sporting events. The common denominator in keeping these services running is the vital state-funded reimbursements. Without such funding, college campuses would struggle to continue to provide these essential programs and centers and this funding is provided conditionally with reports of usage for the services and programs provided by the campuses. In response, institutions state-wide have created systems to record these vital statistics but unfortunately these systems provide challenges of their own:

Labor Intensive
Inefficient systems and manual tracking and reporting create a tremendous amount of extra work involved with sign-in sheets and calculations. Dedicated staff and time to handle these tasks is expensive.

Date Integrity
The accuracy of the data is severely compromised with manual tracking and reporting systems.

Staffing Costs
it cost a considerable amount of time and money to dedicate staff to collect and extrapolate data for reports to the state.
