TrackingTime Features and Strengths

Time Tracking and Online Timesheets

TrackingTime provides flexible time tracking for team members to record their work time in a way that matches their work style, location, or work arrangement — by hour or by project. It’s compatible with web, desktop, and mobile platforms. It can track automatically, but it can also accommodate manual entries and edits. Plus, it can track time by blocks according to workflows with automatic identification and reporting.

Its online timesheets enable companies to follow internal processes minus the paperwork and manual efforts. The timesheets contain accurate data to help companies make informed business decisions, and automatic time audits ensure timesheet data is consistent and complete. Timesheets are also customizable to include relevant information for reporting — and to make things even easier, users can save these as templates.

Project Management and Integrations

TrackingTime includes simple project management functionality to give users an overview of how tasks are progressing. It has several views that include list, board, project, and timeline views to help a project manager see the bigger picture and prioritize needed tasks. Teams can collaborate by attaching files per project, organizing them, and sharing them from a central hub, and they can create custom project labels for additional reporting information.

For teams that are using other project management and productivity tools, TrackingTime integrates with over 50 apps for seamless time tracking. For instance, it integrates with Airtable, Asana, Basecamp, ClickUp, Evernote, GitHub, Google Workspace, and Jira, among others. Users can track time and sync with tools they work on without having to switch apps.

Time Cards, Attendance Tracking, Reporting, and More

TrackingTime automatically generates employee time cards based on time entries. It sends email reminders for users to complete their entries, and employees can easily submit their time cards after they verify it for accuracy. The software also sends emails to notify admins of pending approvals. Additionally, users can export their time cards in PDF, CSV, and XLS formats.

The time tracking software can also work as an attendance tracking system. Employees can send time-off requests and get notified of its approval, and admins can create a list of leave types for teams to choose when requesting time-offs.

TrackingTime also includes several types of reports. User reports show team member performance, while project reports display progress and budgets. Other reports include client reports and payroll reports.

Case Studies

Heath D. manages an internal audit team. His biggest challenge with projects is how to complete multiple conflicting tasks in a timely manner. He needed a tool to record and report his budgeted and actual times, as well as help him allocate time for each project.

Since using TrackingTime, Heath is able to schedule his tasks in the calendar with the confidence to have enough time to complete everything on time. He likes the ability to schedule time by project and task in the calendar. When urgent tasks pop up, the software allows Heath to determine which tasks he can delay to prioritize urgent ones.

Maria S. is a digital strategist for a midsize company. Previously, she was using time tracking software that served only as a timer. It didn’t allow her to analyze her time data. She needed a better tool that allowed her to estimate her work and explain time and money more easily to her employer.

When she started using TrackingTime, her estimates for her tasks also improved in accuracy. She uses its tag and category features on each of her tasks and group them into projects. She now has a better understanding of the exact time she spends on projects. With the accumulated data, Maria can create more accurate estimates that results in fewer failed deadlines and smoother project deliveries.
