Time tracking software for large teams

The enterprise time tracking dilemma

Managing time across hundreds, or even thousands, of people is no easy tasks. The main objective is understanding how time drives results across the business.

Large organizations juggle endless teams, projects, and tools. Trying to manage all that with manual or semi-manual time tracking systems? It simply isn’t scalable.

Employees forget to log hours, time data becomes incomplete and inaccurate. Leaders immediately lose visibility. 

When using a time tracking tool that doesn’t sync across all your tools, you’re just asking for more admin, and reporting becomes a mammoth task.

Fundamentally, if you can’t trust your time data, every decision built on it is a risk.

A lack of a modern time tracking tool is holding your business back.

Why large teams struggle with time tracking

Enterprise time tracking isn’t easy. Here’s why:

• Complex structures
• Disconnected tools
• Low adoption
• Accuracy issues
• Lack of scalability

These aren’t new problems, and there are solutions out there. What are you waiting for?

The new standard

Modern enterprises don’t track their time manually anymore. They don’t use “automated” solutions. They use AI-powered automatic time tracking tools - a solution that’s invisible, accurate and private.

Instead of chasing timesheets, leaders have access to trustworthy data in real-time. 

Instead of wasting valuable time filling in timesheets, or waiting until Friday afternoon, at which point you’ve forgotten everything, employees can rely on their computer to remember everything.

Timely’s approach?

Auto-capture. Auto-allocate. One-click approve.

What large teams should look for in a time tracking solution

Focus on what actually moves the needle for large teams:

Spoiler alert: Timely is all of this, and more.

Data Privacy and Trust

Large teams rely on trust. There are two camps of time tracking tools: tools that monitor every move, and tools that respect privacy.

Look for a tool that gives employees full control: private timelines, user-approved entries, and flexible visibility settings. Privacy-frist design buildings transparency without ever crossing the line into surveillance.

The best time tracking software avoids spying altogether. No screenshots. No creepy surveillance.

That’s the way enterprise time tracking should be, and what Timely was built for.

To put it simply, accurate time data does not rely on employee monitoring.

Actionable Insights

Automatic time entries are great. AI timesheets, even better. But it’s what the tool does next that is the cherry on top. Timely offers leaders live utilization dashboards, project insights and workspace capacity trends so you can optimize staffing and protect margins. Get the most out of your time data. 

Ease of Use

Modern time tracking should be almost invisible to employees. When there are one-click options out there that offer high accuracy too. Why choose anything less? Clunky manual time tracking software is so… 2015(???)
