Time tracking and logging time are a core function of Accelo. As your staff is sending emails, scheduling meetings, creating internal notes and more, they are logging their time, allowing managers to have deeper insight into not only what their team is working on, but how long it is taking them to work on it.
Using the Time Entries Reports in Accelo, a manager can receive insight into Time Entries by Class as well as Time Entry Value by Employee, allowing them to see who is logging time and how much billable/non-billable time is being logged.
On this guide, you will find reports for:
Time Entry Value by Employee
Review all billable and non billable time entries, based on the person who logged the time and its billable and cost value. Billable value is calculated based on the amount of billable time logged and the billable rate.
For a professional service business, costs and revenues are determined by the time which staff work. It is therefore important for these businesses to have visibility into how much time is being logged, the value and cost-to-them of that time.
