1.1.9 Safe to install
Matrix CR — lightweight mobile companion for CR.NET timesheets
Matrix CR is a free mobile app from Matrix SCM that lets temporary staff submit hours and expenses and enables managers to track, manage and approve timesheets with push notifications and an audit trail synced to CR.NET.
Matrix SCM has released a free mobile companion to CR.NET, designed to work alongside the core system. Feedback from users informed its development, yielding a tool that enables temporary staff to submit timesheets and expenses and allows managers to approve them from a mobile device. The app mirrors CR.NET's workflow while adding push notifications to keep users informed of the current status of submissions and approvals.
The following outlines the core capabilities and how they function in practice:
- Submit: Workers can simply create a new timesheet, log hours and break time, and attach expenses for submission and subsequent approval, all within the app.
- Manage: Hiring managers can view and handle all incoming timesheets and expenses in one place, with visibility through the mobile interface.
- Track: Both workers and managers can review past submissions, providing an in-app audit trail that aligns with the full details contained in CR.NET.
- Approve: Managers can approve timesheets and expenses via the app, while workers receive push notifications that keep them informed about the progress of their submissions.

Pros
- Direct integration with CR.NET — mirrors core functionality of the Matrix CR.NET system (submit, manage, track, approve timesheets and expenses) for consistent workflow between web and mobile.
- Push notifications keep workers and managers informed about timesheet/expense status in real time.
- Supports both worker and manager workflows: add timesheets and expenses, view audit trail, and perform approvals (including group approvals with rejection support noted in changelog).
- Free to use (as listed on the App Store).
- Small app size (~24.5 MB) — quick to download and lightweight on device storage.
- Multi-language support (English + 8 more languages) — useful for diverse workforces.
- Regular maintenance updates referenced in App Store notes (SSL certificate updates, stability and login fixes), indicating ongoing support.
- Available on iPhone and iPad (and macOS on Apple Silicon) — useful for managers who prefer tablets for approvals.
- Developer states the app does not collect user data (per App Store privacy section) — reduces privacy concerns if accurate.
Cons
- No Android version referenced — excludes Android users and limits workforce coverage to Apple platforms.
- App Store privacy statement is developer-provided and not independently verified by Apple; claims of 'Data Not Collected' should be validated against your organisation’s privacy/security requirements.
- Very limited public feedback — only one App Store rating (5.0) at time of listing, so user experience and reliability have a small review sample.
- Compatibility requires relatively recent OS versions (iOS/iPadOS 18.0, macOS 15 / Apple M1 or later) — older devices may be unsupported.
- Public website link provided in the input returned a 404 — documentation, marketing or contact pages may be hard to find or maintained separately (potential friction for onboarding/support).
- Feature set appears focused on timesheets/expenses and approvals — may lack broader workforce-management features (scheduling, detailed reporting, integrations beyond CR.NET) expected by some organisations.
- Changelog entries focus heavily on SSL certificate and stability fixes — indicates past connectivity/login issues that may concern IT teams until proven stable in their environment.
- No visible enterprise-specific details on the App Store page (SAML/SSO support, MDM compatibility, offline mode, audit/log exports) — organisations requiring specific security/compliance features will need to confirm availability.
FAQ
What is Matrix CR by Matrix SCM?
Matrix CR is a mobile companion application for Matrix SCM designed to let field and office users capture timesheets, expenses, activities and job-related records from their smartphone or tablet and synchronize them with the Matrix SCM back-end.
Which mobile platforms does Matrix CR support?
Matrix CR is available for iOS (iPhone and iPad). Check your platform’s app store for the latest availability; if you need Android support, contact Matrix SCM for roadmap or alternative options.
How do I install Matrix CR?
Download and install Matrix CR from your device’s app store (search for “Matrix CR” or use the app link provided by your administrator). After installation, open the app and enter the server URL and your Matrix SCM user credentials as provided by your organisation.
Can I use Matrix CR when I don’t have an internet connection?
Yes. Matrix CR is designed to work offline so you can capture time, expenses and job details without network access. Data is stored locally and will synchronize automatically or manually when a connection is re-established.
Does Matrix CR capture location or support clock-in/clock-out features?
Matrix CR supports mobile time capture workflows commonly used for field staff, which can include clock-in/clock-out and job/activity timestamps. Many organizations also enable optional location/GPS stamping to verify field attendance; check with your administrator about your site’s configuration and privacy settings.
How does data synchronization and approvals work?
Data you enter in Matrix CR is synchronized with the Matrix SCM server. Timesheets, expense claims and activity records can then flow into your organisation’s approval and payroll processes. Exact approval and workflow behavior depends on your company’s Matrix SCM configuration.
Is the data stored and transmitted securely?
Matrix CR is intended to work with secure connections (HTTPS) to your Matrix SCM server. Authentication and data transfer follow the security settings configured by your organisation. For detailed information about encryption, authentication and compliance, contact your Matrix SCM administrator or Matrix support.
How do I get help or support for Matrix CR?
For installation, configuration or troubleshooting help, contact your internal Matrix SCM administrator first. If further assistance is needed, reach out to Matrix SCM support through the contact information provided by your organisation or on the Matrix SCM website.
What if I forget my password or can’t log in?
If you can’t log in, verify the server URL, username and password are correct. If you still cannot log in, use your organisation’s password reset process or contact your Matrix SCM administrator to reset your credentials. Do not uninstall the app before checking with support, as offline data may be lost if not synchronized.
Are there licensing costs or a trial period for Matrix CR?
Matrix CR is typically licensed as part of a Matrix SCM deployment. Licensing, per-user fees and trial availability are determined by Matrix SCM and your organisation’s agreement. Contact Matrix SCM sales or your account manager for pricing and trial information.
