The problem: Subcontractor hours are usually collected via paper timesheets, WhatsApp photos, or an end-of-week phone call. It's slow, easy to lose, and hard to match against actual task progress. Giving every subcontractor a full Odoo login isn't realistic either.

How we solved it: Subcontractors log hours directly on their assigned task through a limited portal view. No separate app, no Odoo licence, and the record lives exactly where the work itself is tracked.
