Self-reported timesheets will always have a divide between logged hours and client value. Enter Trackdek, a seemingly simple feature of automated screenshotting that brings transparency into client billing, provides real proof of project work, and assists with informed decision-making and overall productivity.
Trackdek does not invade privacy. It has the potential to turn activity into real and clean data to optimize productivity and build trust.
The Problems of Non-Verified Time and Billing
Organizations that charge their clients on an hourly basis, supervise remote teams, or deal with complex projects struggle with traditional time tracking for several reasons:
Guesswork regarding
- Efficiency: Managers cannot separate time spent and productive time and assign everyone efficiency estimates that are generally inflated.
- Client Doubts: Clients paying for remote working are often requesting proof of work and may dispute billing.
- No Accountability: When there are no objective data points, it is impossible to challenge low performers or recognize top performers fairly.
- Inaccurate Billing: For a client to receive a billing charge for an activity that had nothing to do with working time, even by mistake, damages trust and may result in a financial cost if challenged.
Trackdek: Takes Screenshots to Ensure Honesty and Transparency
Trackdek automates and randomizes screenshot-taking, a fundamental part of its enterprise-wide service to monitor employee productivity and time tracking within the context of workplace transparency and to obtain useful evidence that allows companies to count billable hours.
1. Providing Unshakeable Evidence of Work
The days of relying on trust in a timesheet are over. With the screenshots in Trackdek, the company has verified proof of every hour billed, with the certainty that work was actually done and the client can expect responsible billing when the invoice is received.
- Verification of Work: The screenshots taken show the active window of the employee's computer screen at random moments, proving that during the time logged, employees were actively engaged in work.
- Transparent Billing for Clients: For service-based companies, the screenshots taken can serve as proof on the invoice. Trust is valuable when billing clients for their time, and using screenshots provides a high level of transparency and usually reduces the need for client disputes or non-payment on invoices.
- Establishing Trust with Remote Work Tools: This capability is extremely important for remote teams. It makes certain that time spent at home or in a different location is accounted for and builds trust between managers and staff members.
2. The Conversion of Action into Data to Create Productivity
The real benefit of TrackDek is that it turns everyday productivity into insights for action tracking software.
- Productivity in Context: Activity streams are viewed by managers and easily link periods of time logged to work that has been shown. If a workforce member has logged significant time in non-work-related apps that were being viewed for several hours, this is an immediate indication of an opportunity for coaching.
- Focusing and Flow: Managers can watch team members and observe what tasks are actively being worked on and support with turning distractions into focused deep work.
- Performance Review Evidence: Utilizing screenshots and the previous time logs provides the objective evidence for performance reviews. Screenshots shift the discussion away from how much time was spent on something and towards if that time spent was effective.
3. Elevate Team Accountability and Focus
When your team knows their work is being monitored objectively, there is an uptick in accountability.
- Self-Correcting: Employees are more likely to stay on task when they know screenshots are to be taken. This fosters better habits to correct processes where time is wasted.
- Balanced Workloads: Managers now have the tools to indicate that a load is equitable and that no contributor is chronically overloaded or not engaged.
4. Simple and Unobtrusive Design
Trackdek makes this process of tracking simple and respects privacy.
- Customizable Frequency: Managers can customize how frequently randomized screenshots occur, increasing effectiveness without being oppressive.
- Visibility for Employees: The tracking is open and visible, so employees are aware the tracking is aimed at accountability and fairness, not their punishment or surveillance.
