Key Benefits for Branding Agencies
Capture Every Billable Hour
Multiple tracking methods — timers, manual entry, and weekly timesheets — ensure no billable work goes unrecorded. Integration with project tasks means time is always allocated correctly.
Real-Time Retainer Visibility
Monitor how many retainer hours each client has used in real-time. Get alerts before clients exceed their allocations so you can manage scope and expectations proactively.
Accurate Project Costing
Understand the true cost of every project by tracking time at the task and phase level. Compare estimated hours versus actual to improve future project pricing and estimates.
Team Productivity Insights
See billable utilization rates per team member, identify capacity for new work, and understand how time is distributed across clients and project types.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we track time for branding workshops and strategy sessions that last multiple hours?
Use session-based timers that can run for extended periods, with the ability to pause for breaks and resume. The system tracks total session time and allows you to add detailed notes about what was discussed, ensuring all workshop and strategy time is properly captured and billed.
Can we track time separately for brand strategy vs creative execution?
Yes, you can create separate time categories for strategy work (workshops, research, positioning) versus creative execution (logo design, visual identity, guidelines). This helps you understand how much time each phase takes and price your branding services more accurately. Many agencies bill strategy separately or include it in comprehensive branding packages.
How do we handle time tracking for brand guideline development that involves multiple rounds of refinement?
Track all time spent on guideline development, including research, writing, design, and revisions. The system allows you to see time spent per section or deliverable, helping you identify which parts of brand guidelines take the most time and adjust your pricing accordingly.
What about tracking time for brand implementation support after the initial project?
Create separate project phases or categories for implementation support, training, and ongoing brand management. This helps you track time for post-launch work separately from initial branding development, allowing you to bill appropriately for ongoing support and identify opportunities for retainer relationships.
