HiveDesk summarized timesheet showing billable hours by project and team member for client billing

Inaccurate Time Data Is Costing You Clients and Revenue

When billable hours are tracked manually, revenue leaks through the cracks. When clients question invoices, you have nothing to show them.

Without accurate time tracking

  • Billable hours slip through the cracks when tracked manually
  • Clients dispute invoices with no proof of work completed
  • No visibility into actual labor costs per client project
  • Compiling time reports for each client takes hours every month

With HiveDesk

  • Every billable minute is captured automatically by project
  • Screenshot reports give clients verifiable proof of work
  • Labor costs calculated per project with hourly rates
  • Client-ready reports exported as PDF or Excel in seconds
