AUTOMATIC TIME TRACKING
Recover lost billable time with automatic time tracking
HiveDesk automatic time tracking enables IT services companies to capture every minute of work performed for clients, ensuring no billable hours slip through the cracks.
Manual timesheets often rely on memory or estimation, leading to under reported hours. Automated time tracking tools run quietly in the background, logging work periods in real time. This ensures every task and interaction is recorded, converting what might have been “invisible” effort into documented, billable hours.
Without HiveDesk, software developers spend valuable time filling out timesheets. By automating time tracking, staff can focus on actual deliverables. This increased focus on productive tasks translates directly into more billable time.
INVOICING
Build trust with clients with accurate invoicing
Automatic time tracking, timesheet approvals, and activity tracking work together to create a transparent and verifiable billing process, which in turn enhances both billing accuracy and client trust.
When the raw time data reflects exactly how software developers spend their work hours, invoices become more precise. Clients are charged for actual work rather than estimates, reducing disputes and misunderstandings.
Before billing, managers review and approve timesheets. This quality check confirms that recorded hours align with project scopes, contractual terms, and agreed-upon deliverables.
Activity tracking provides a clear record of what tasks were performed. It links billed hours to tangible progress and deliverables.
This not only improves billing precision, but also cultivates a sense of fairness and professionalism that strengthens client confidence in your services.
Workforce Management
Improve workforce utilization and productivity
Attendance and time off tracking allow IT services companies to make informed, data-driven decisions about how to allocate developers effectively.
By knowing who is present and who is on leave, managers can accurately determine staffing capacity. They can assign the right number of team members to projects, reducing both idle time and the risk of project delays due to understaffing.
Clear visibility into employees’ availability helps distribute tasks evenly across the team. This prevents developers from becoming overloaded and ensures that resources are not left idle when they could be contributing elsewhere.
Time off tracking ensures that developers get the rest they need. Well-rested employees tend to be more productive and efficient. Proper time off management leads to reduced burnout, higher morale, and better long-term utilization of your talent.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Manage projects and tasks with ease
Having trouble staying on top of your projects and tasks?
Managing multiple software projects and dozens of tasks simultaneously can be a challenge without the right tools.
HiveDesk tracks which tasks are behind schedule, how much time developers have spent on each task and project. Armed with this detailed information, you can reassign tasks and resources to improve adherence to project timelines.
HiveDesk helps managers understand the true capacity of their workforce so they can set more realistic project timelines and resource estimates. This leads to better forecasting, improved project outcomes, and more reliable delivery to clients.
You can also see which tasks and projects are taking more time than planned so you can take appropriate action.
