Choosing the Right Time Tracker for Pairing With Accounting Software

Time tracking features

The time tracking software should also be able to manage multiple projects at once, meaning that it can easily attribute time spent to the right project if you jump around between tasks. Some take this a step further and are even able to automatically create and send invoices specific to each of your projects and clients based on what you’ve been working on. Tie this into an accounting software (many of which do have time tracking functionalities) and you really have an all-encompassing tool. You may wonder what the advantage is to using separate software (one for accounting and one for time tracking) if this consolidated option is available; the reason is simply that software specifically dedicated to time tracking usually has more advanced, detailed features. Take Hubstaff, for example, a time tracking software that does everything mentioned and more, such as reporting the worker’s app usage, activity percentages, and integrates with third-party tools.

When it’s time to track

Individuals or organizations in the following scenarios are usually the ones who benefit the most from a time tracking software:

• Freelancers or businesses billing clients based on time
• Normal companies with remote teams
• Teams that want to monitor progress on projects and understand and optimize their time repartition
• Anyone who feels their productivity is not at its best and who wants an honest reality check regarding their work activity

No matter what your case is, time tracking software represents automation and a couple less things you have to remember – in other words, it can only make your life easier. Many offer a free trial, so there’s no reason not to give one or two a go.
