Record hours against the task and the client, and bill from what was recorded.
Project time tracking records hours against the task and the client they were spent on, marked billable or not. The invoice is raised from what was recorded and not from a figure worked out on Friday evening. Over a few months you learn which clients pay for the time they take, and which ones quietly do not.
In a studio or a consulting firm, time is the only thing being sold. It is also the one thing nobody writes down. A retainer client asks for three small changes a week, each one twenty minutes, and by March the account is being served at a loss nobody can prove.
Hours are logged against a task, by the person who did the work, on the day or when the week closes. Billable and non-billable are separated. When the bill is raised, the working behind it is there to be shown to a client who asks.
What project time tracking does.
The people who open this every day.
It is one part of a system, not an island.
A module earns its place by what it passes to the next one. These are the connections we set up most often.
- Task management
- Invoice management
- Project management reports
- Attendance and time tracking
- Client portal

How we would put it in.
Questions owners ask about project time tracking.
What if my team will not fill time sheets?
Then ask for less. A weekly grid with four or five rows gets filled, and a demand for fifteen-minute blocks does not. Start with billable work only and leave internal time alone for the first few months.
Is this going to watch what people do?
No. There are no screenshots, no keystroke counting and no photographs from a webcam. We do not build that, and we would talk you out of it if you asked.
Is there any point when we work on fixed price?
Yes, and arguably more. Fixed price only works if you know what the last one cost you in hours. The free technology audit often finds this is the missing number behind a firm that is busy and not profitable.
Can the hours reach our invoices without retyping?
Yes. Approved entries carry into the bill as lines with dates and descriptions, and what has already been invoiced is marked so nobody bills the same hour twice.
