Track employee hours, projects, and absences from one platform

Table of contents

    Your employees track hours in spreadsheets. Absences live in a separate HR tool. Project time sits in yet another system. And your finance team spends hours every month reconciling data that should already be in one place.

    There is a better way to manage workforce time tracking without adding more tools to your stack.

    One platform for hours, projects, and absences

    Bezala brings employee hour tracking, project time tracking, and absence management into a single platform, the same one your team already uses for expenses and company cards.

    No separate logins. No manual exports. No data gaps between systems.

    • Log working hours directly from a mobile device or desktop
    • Assign time entries to specific projects for accurate cost allocation
    • Submit and approve absences through the same approval flow as expenses
    • Get a complete picture of where your workforce time actually goes

    When time entry, expenses, and absence management share one platform, finance teams stop chasing data and start using it.

    The real cost of fragmented time tracking

    Disconnected tools do not just create extra work. They create blind spots.

    When hours are logged in one place, absences tracked in another, and project costs estimated rather than measured, your financial reporting is built on guesswork. Payroll errors go unnoticed. Project budgets drift. Compliance risks quietly accumulate.

    • Employees forget to submit timesheets when the process is inconvenient
    • Managers approve absences without visibility into project deadlines
    • Finance teams manually reconcile data across systems at month-end
    • Audits become painful when time records are scattered across tools

    The cost of fragmented time entry software is not just inefficiency. It is inaccurate data driving real business decisions.

    How Bezala handles time entry end to end

    Bezala is designed so that the people doing the work and the people reviewing it operate from the same system.

    Employees submit time entries from their phones in seconds. Approvers review and confirm through a structured workflow. Finance teams see approved data flow directly into accounting and payroll integrations, without manual re-entry.

    • Mobile-first time entry: Employees log hours on the go, the same way they submit receipts
    • Project-level tracking: Assign hours to projects, cost centers, or clients for accurate reporting
    • Absence workflows: Request and approve absences through the same flow as other approvals

    The result is a clean, auditable record of hours worked, projects tracked, and absences taken, without the manual effort.

    Built for finance teams who need full visibility

    Most employee hour tracking tools are built for employees. Bezala is built for the finance teams who depend on accurate data to close the books, run payroll, and report to leadership.

    Full visibility means knowing not just that hours were logged, but that they were logged correctly, approved by the right person, and coded to the right project or cost center.

    • Configurable approval flows that match your organizational structure
    • Country-specific settings for teams operating across multiple markets
    • Integrated expense and time data in one reporting view
    • Automatic handling of accounting and governmental reporting requirements

    For international organizations, Bezala allows each country to operate with its own rules while finance maintains a consolidated view across the entire business.

    Trusted by 2,000+ businesses across 20+ countries

    Bezala has grown from a Nordic expense tool into a platform used by over 140,000 employees across more than 20 countries. The businesses that use it range from fast-growing startups to established enterprises with complex, multi-country operations.

    What keeps them on the platform is not just the features. It is the combination of local compliance, genuine ease of use, and a pricing model that charges only for active users in a given month.

    • No fees for employees who do not use the platform in a given month
    • Scales up and down with your workforce without contract complexity
    • Supports teams in over 20 countries with country-level configuration

    Whether your team is five people or five hundred, the platform adapts to how you actually work.

    Start tracking time without disrupting your workflow

    Switching tools feels risky. Bezala is designed to reduce that risk from day one.

    Setup is straightforward. Employees adopt the platform quickly because it works the same way as the expense and card features they may already use. There is no steep learning curve and no months-long implementation project.

    • Employees start logging hours from their phones immediately after onboarding
    • Existing integrations with your ERP or HR system connect without custom development
    • Approval flows are configured to match your current process, not replace it
    • Your finance team gains visibility from the first approved time entry

    If your team is ready to replace scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single expense management platform that handles time, projects, and absences too, Bezala is built for exactly that.

    Get started with Bezala and give your finance team the visibility they have been missing.
