Time tracking

Timesheet software for agencies

Your team logs hours against clients and projects, you see each person's week and the billable value, then invoice the client from Money Manager.

Where did the hours go?

Agencies sell time, but most only find out a project ran over when the month ends. Timesheets filled in on Friday afternoon from memory do not help much either.

In startbuddi, time is logged on tasks, so every hour belongs to a project and a client. Managers see the team's week, each project shows hours against its budget, and the billable value is added up for you.

What agencies track

  • Timers on tasks, or time added by hand with a note.
  • Billable or not, entry by entry.
  • Team time for managers, admins and owners.
  • Hours against each project's hours budget.

Hours do not turn into an invoice in one click yet. The billable value is in front of you when you create the invoice.

  • Billable valueTotals for billable hours and their value.
  • Project budgetsHours logged against the hours budget.
