You’ll never have to guess how much time went into a project again!
ActiveCollab tracks every billable hour across tasks and projects, giving you a complete log of work. When it’s time to bill, you have accurate records that turn into invoices with ease. This way, clients see exactly what they’re paying for, and you avoid undercharging or awkward disputes.
You get paid for every hour worked, while clients appreciate the transparency!
Yes! With ActiveCollab, time tracking happens where work happens.
You can start a stopwatch, log hours manually, or update task estimates without leaving the platform. That means no extra apps, no juggling spreadsheets, and no wasted clicks!
The whole process is designed to fit naturally into your workflow, so you and your team can stay focused on delivering results instead of chasing timers. Naturally, this keeps projects moving forward while still capturing every billable minute.
Absolutely! Tracked hours flow directly into ActiveCollab’s invoicing system. With just a few clicks, you can turn logged time into detailed, professional invoices.
No more exporting data, double-checking spreadsheets, or doing manual math!
This automation ensures clients are billed accurately and on time, and you save hours of administrative work. The best part? It creates a seamless bridge between your team’s productivity and your agency’s cash flow, so you can focus more on growing the business and less on paperwork.
Yes, and it’s one of the most useful features for managing projects. You can set time estimates for tasks at the start, then see how those estimates compare to actual logged hours.
This helps you spot overruns early, manage scope creep, and make smarter predictions for future projects. Naturally, it also helps you understand your team’s capacity better. Over time, this feedback loop improves accuracy in planning, which means fewer surprises, happier clients, and more predictable margins for your business!
Reports in ActiveCollab go deep. You can slice and dice tracked time by client, project, or even down to an individual team member. This gives you the clarity to see where hours are really going, whether that’s profitable client work or tasks that drain resources!
The insights help you adjust workloads, refine processes, and improve profitability. Basically, you get hard data to back up your decisions and the ability to prove your team’s value to clients whenever needed!
By default, tracked hours stay internal, so you control visibility. But when you want transparency, you can share logged hours through reports or directly on invoices.
This way, clients see what’s relevant without opening the door to every internal detail. It’s about balance – giving clients confidence that hours are tracked accurately, while protecting your team from unnecessary scrutiny.
You decide what to show and when, ensuring trust and professionalism without losing control over your internal workflows.
Yes, and that’s where it gets powerful!
Tracked time connects directly with workload and capacity planning tools, so you see who’s spending hours where, who’s overloaded, and who’s available for new work. This prevents burnout, ensures fair distribution of tasks, and helps managers plan more strategically.
Instead of reacting to problems late, you spot them early. Naturally, that means happier teams, better productivity, and smoother project delivery, with no blind spots in how time and resources are actually being used.
