1. A method for logging user time using a first mobile computing device, a server computing device communicatively coupled to the first mobile computing device and communicatively coupled to a workstation computing device that executes computer-executable instructions for logging user time and associated task descriptions, the server computing device including a memory including at least one task indicator corresponding to at least one task description, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by the server computing device, at a first time, a first task indicator, corresponding to a first task performed by a first user, and a timestamp, corresponding to receipt of the first task indicator at the first time, from the first mobile computing device;

    comparing, by the server computing device, the first task indicator to the at least one task indicator in the memory of the server computing device and determining a first corresponding task description;

    transmitting a confirmation message from the server to the first mobile computing device, the confirmation message including the first corresponding task description;

    transmitting the first corresponding task description and the timestamp from the server computing device to the workstation computing device;

    logging, at the workstation computing device, time spent by the first user performing the first task based on the first corresponding task description and the timestamp; and

    transmitting, by the server computing device, a notification of completion of the first task by the first user to at least a second mobile computing device that is associated with a second user performing a second task that requires completion of the first task.
