Overlap Detection for Accurate Time Reports
Catch conflicting time entries before they reach reports or invoices. Sandtime.io flags overlaps the moment they occur so your time data stays reliable.
How overlap detection works
Automatic detection
Every new entry is checked against existing ones for the same day. Conflicts are flagged as soon as they appear.
Real-time alerts
Get notified immediately when a new entry collides with an existing one - before the timesheet is submitted.
Timer and manual entry
Overlap detection works for both timer-based tracking and manually entered time entries.
Non-destructive
Sandtime.io flags the conflict but keeps both entries. You decide which one to adjust or remove.
Configurable notifications
Adjust notification settings to match your team's tolerance. Silence them for roles where overlaps are expected.
Accurate reports downstream
Clean time data means weekly reports, invoices, and payroll calculations reflect reality without manual auditing.
Who uses overlap detection
- Consultants billing multiple clients who need clean hour-by-hour records
- Teams with overlapping projects who want to catch data errors before submission
- Agencies preparing client invoices where duplicate hours would be a problem
- Payroll teams who need accurate daily totals before approving timesheets
