What features does Standard Time® include?

A complete feature set for Pro and Enterprise manufacturing operations — from barcode scanning and AI scheduling to dedicated server deployments with on-premise AI agents.

Feature Tiers: Pro Included in Pro subscription Enterprise Enterprise plan exclusive

Barcode Scanning & Automation Pro

Standard Time® delivers one of the most comprehensive barcode scanning systems available in manufacturing software — supporting everything from simple time clocking to complex automated workflows triggered by a single scan.

Track Time & Materials

Use barcodes to capture time entries and material consumption automatically — no manual data entry required.

Tap-To-Start

Workers tap or scan once to start a job. The clock starts automatically, tied to the correct project and task.

User-Defined Scans & Barcode Defaults

Configure each barcode to do exactly what your workflow requires — with custom defaults per scan type.

Barcode Rules & Macros

Create rules that trigger automated actions based on what's scanned — macro-level process automation from a single barcode.

Speech Recognition & Automation

Use voice commands to control Standard Time® hands-free on the shop floor.

Camera Barcode Scanning

Scan 1D barcodes and QR codes using any device camera — no dedicated scanner hardware required.

Quantity In Stock

Real-time on-hand quantities per item and per location — always know what you have before production begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Standard Time® features, deployment, and getting started.

Is this software cloud-based?

Yes — Standard Time® is fully cloud-based and accessible from any browser on any device. We also offer on-premises deployment for organizations that require data to stay within their own network. Both options are available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are up and running the same day. Cloud setup takes minutes — create an account, add your users, and start tracking. On-premises deployments typically take one to three days depending on your server environment and database configuration. Our support team walks you through every step.

What barcode scanners do you recommend?

Standard Time® works with virtually any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner that outputs keyboard wedge input — Zebra, Honeywell, and Socket Mobile are popular choices among our customers. You can also scan using the camera on any phone or tablet. Contact us for specific hardware recommendations based on your environment.

Does it integrate with QuickBooks®?

Yes. Standard Time® integrates with QuickBooks® Online to sync time entries, project costs, and invoices — eliminating double-entry between your project management and accounting systems. The integration is included in all Pro and Enterprise plans.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is $8.99 USD per user, per month — billed monthly with no long-term contract required. A license is needed for every employee who uses the software, including shop floor workers who only scan barcodes and administrators who manage the system.

Can I try it before subscribing?

Yes. Download the installer from our downloads page for a fully functional 30-day trial — no credit card required. You can also request access to our cloud test environment to explore the web edition from any browser without installation.

Is there a mobile app?

Standard Time® runs in any modern mobile browser — no app download needed. Workers on the shop floor can clock in, scan barcodes, and check job status from any smartphone or tablet. The interface adapts automatically to any screen size.

What kind of support is included?

All subscriptions include U.S.-based technical support by phone and email. Our team is available Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Enterprise customers receive priority support and dedicated onboarding assistance.

Do you offer training?

Yes. We offer guided onboarding sessions to get your team productive quickly — covering barcode setup, project configuration, user management, and shop floor workflows. Training is available by phone and screen share. Contact us to schedule a session tailored to your operation.
