With DATABASICS Time and Expense you know you did it right.
Compliance with federal regulations for recording employee time and travel can be burdensome. DATABASICS Time and DATABASICS Expense for Government Contractors provide you with the processes, controls, data, and reporting you need so you can focus on your own and your customers’ success.
Why do government contractors need time and expense together?
Government contractors often need to connect employee time, travel expenses, leave, project codes, approvals, and supporting documentation. When those pieces live in separate systems, finance teams can spend too much time reconciling labor and expense data before billing, reporting, or audit review.
DATABASICS brings time and expense workflows together so contractors can capture project-level detail earlier, route submissions through the right approval steps, and preserve the audit trail behind each transaction. That matters when labor costs, travel expenses, per diem rules, project accounting, and ERP handoff all need to line up.
- Track labor, projects, jobs, clients, or tasks with labor and project time tracking.
- Manage expenses, receipts, card activity, reimbursements, and approvals in a connected workflow.
- Use all-in-one time and expense software when labor and expense data need to stay together.
- Connect approved time and expense data to accounting, payroll, HR, and ERP systems through ERP and accounting integrations.

Common Questions
Here's what Government Contractors ask us the most.
What is the best time and expense software for government contractors?
The best fit is usually software that can manage time tracking, expense reporting, project coding, approvals, audit trails, and ERP handoff together. DATABASICS is built for government contractors that need workflow control around labor, travel, expenses, leave, and compliance-sensitive documentation.
Does DATABASICS support DCAA-related time tracking?
DATABASICS supports configurable controls, approval workflows, audit trails, project-level tracking, and reporting structures used in DCAA-controlled environments. Final compliance responsibility depends on the contractor’s policies, configuration, and review process.
Can DATABASICS handle both time and expense for government contractors?
Yes. DATABASICS supports both time tracking and expense reporting, along with leave, P-Card workflows, approvals, reporting, and integrations. This matters when labor and expense data need to stay connected by project, contract, department, or cost structure.
Why is project-level tracking important for government contractors?
Government contractors often need to connect labor, travel, and expenses to the right project, contract, or cost structure. Project-level tracking helps finance teams reduce cleanup, support reporting, and preserve documentation for review.
When should government contractors choose DATABASICS?
DATABASICS is a strong fit when government contractors need more control than spreadsheets, lightweight expense apps, or disconnected timekeeping tools can provide.
Choose DATABASICS when:
- time and expense data need to connect to projects, jobs, contracts, or cost structures
- DCAA-related controls, audit trails, approvals, and reporting matter
- finance needs cleaner labor and expense data before billing or audit review
- the organization needs integrations with ERP, payroll, HR, card, or accounting systems
- employees need a practical way to submit time, expenses, leave, and supporting documentation
Consider a lighter tool when:
- you only need basic expense submission
- there is no project, contract, grant, or cost-accounting complexity
- time tracking and expense reporting do not need to work together
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on your team size and what you need. It's usually less than what you'd pay for two separate tools. Book a demo and we'll give you a number. Or check out our pricing calculator.

CALIBRE Systems, Inc. has used DATABASICS for more than 10 years to manage federal contracting complexity across time, expense, leave, and P-Card workflows.
