My company is looking for an upgrade to our time tracking application in the form of throwing out the old one.
Currently we have (and would require for the new application):
- Multiple users
- Writes to database (as opposed to flat file)
- Can be hosted on a machine within our own network
- Free (it's homegrown, in future ones we'd like GPL/BSD licensing if possible) or low-cost ( < 10 users)
- The system isn't for tracking how much a person worked, but for how much time was put into working on certain customer's project(s)
Things we would like in a new one:
- Arbitrary sub-categorizing (see bottom of post)
- Ability to add new customers from the web interface (In our current system we manually add it to the DB with an SQL Insert)
- Preferably written in PHP, python or java if it's open source, but this isn't a hard requirement
- Built in analytics (just numbers is fine, no need for anything fancy)
For arbitrary sub-categorizing, we currently have a system that looks like:
Customer
Project 1
Project 2
Support
And can go no "deeper" in levels of indentation
What we would like is to be able to do
Customer
Support
Email support
On-site support
