Using PROCAS Mobile Time – Part 1

PROCAS has recently released a new mobile friendly timekeeping system! Whether you’re Team iPhone or Team Android, all users will get to utilize the new timekeeping system with the same mobile friendly end user experience.

To clarify, this is NOT a mobile application, but rather a mobile friendly web application.

• When you access it via your smart phone or tablet, the system will be aware of the device and adjust accordingly.
• Because this is not a natively installed mobile application, you will always have the most up-to-date version of our software and will not have to worry about routinely updating your timekeeping application or operating system on your mobile device.
