How Dapt Works with ADP Workforce Now

Capture hours using the time tracking systems your teams already use:

  • Field time apps
  • Project management tools
  • Shop floor or kiosk solutions
  • Web and mobile timesheets

Dapt integrates with many leading time tracking and project management platforms.

Time from Many Sources
Current direct integrations include:
Flexible Support for Any Time Export

Current Export Supported Format:

  • CSV
  • Excel (XLS / XLSX)
  • Custom export layouts
  • Proprietary formats from industry-specific or legacy systems
  • Mixed-format files with unique column structures

Our ingestion engine allows us to build parsers for each client’s data format, allowing us to support systems that don’t offer an API or standardized export.

  • Allocates those costs down to job / phase / CLIN / cost code / class as needed

This happens every pay run, with no manual journal entry gymnastics.
