Time tracking at work and why you’re doing it wrong

time tracking app

A talented team of professionals is a good predictor of the success. However, without the right tracking and productivity tools, such team might struggle to achieve growth. Development without measurement is rather a matter of luck. Productivity, on the other hand, has nothing to do with luck.

The right time tracking apps are made for employees to measure own work and improve themselves. Instead of pursuing them to work hard, managers should allow them to work effectively

The right time tracking apps are made with employees in mind.

Powerful features and valuable takeaways

Futuramo Time Tracker is intuitive and simple — users name a task, select Client and Project (both categories are predetermined) and press the play button. Time is recorded in the background and can be corrected in a few seconds. Timesheet helps to build a big picture and better understand own duties.

Advanced statistics provide interesting and valuable insights. Depending on user preferences, data presented in the donut chart can be aggregated by Client, Project, User, Task and Project status. Users hover over the chart and see details. Every tracked activity get its own piece of the chart.
