Replicon’s product suite includes Web TimeSheet: Project & Billing Edition, Web TimeSheet: Time & Attendance Edition, Web Resource and an expense module.
- Web TimeSheet Project & Billing allows users to track time against projects, enter billable and non-billable time, and compare expected revenue to the total cost of the project. It now includes Promax which was an add-on earlier[2].

- Web TimeSheet Time & Attendance allows users to track time off, adjust payroll based on overtime calculations, and set up limits for minimum or maximum time submissions
- Web Resource permits employee management through employee tracking, skills assignment, and resource and project forecasting
- Expense module is an add-on module for Web TimeSheet that enables tracking employee and project expenses in multiple currencies, attaching expense receipts to expense items and automatic sales tax calculations like VAT
