Benefits of a smarter time tracking tool
Time tracking apps offer numerous advantages that can significantly impact productivity and efficiency. This data provides a clear understanding of time allocation, helps identify time-wasting activities, improves project management, and enables accurate billing and invoicing. With real-time data and comprehensive insights, individuals and teams can make informed decisions, streamline workflows, and optimize performance.
Busy work makes time tracking difficult — often leading to user error, inaccuracies, or missed payroll. Our employee timesheet software means you can spend time on creative tasks, not manual work.
When an employee tracks time, that time is added directly to an invoice. This reduces the time to run payroll or double-check hours worked. So, every minute an employee works is a minute they’ll be paid for, on time and accurately.
How to use an automated time tracking tool
Download the time tracking app
Employees can download Hubstaff for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or iOS to track their work hours. Or, use the Google Chrome extension.
Track time to projects and tasks
Time tracking apps allow employees to track time with one button. Choose specific tasks, projects, work orders, clients, or locations.
Use time tracking software to generate time reports
Managers can create time reports that will allow them to learn more about how employees spend their working time. You can then use this information to generate better estimates, streamline your workflow, and complete projects on time.
Track every minute spent on tasks and learn how long it takes to complete projects — track time with one click using the simple employee stopwatch.
Generate timesheets automatically based on time entries. See a detailed breakdown of employees’ hours by date, client, and project. Review, approve, or reject timesheets from a single location.

Use integrations with PayPal, Payoneer, Wise, and Bitwage to automate payroll based on billable hours. Set automatic weekly or monthly payments for international and local employees, or send payments manually.
