The problem

The more friction in time tracking, the less anyone logs

Spreadsheets, timesheet portals and end-of-month 'remember what you did' prompts fail because they fight the way people work. When logging time takes seconds and lives inside the tools you're already using, the data appears — and with it, accurate billing, real utilisation and retainer balances you can trust.

How it works

Three steps. Zero spreadsheets.

Start a timer against a task

One click starts a live timer tied to a task, project and client. Switch between tasks without losing a minute.

Or log time manually

Forgot to start the timer? Add an entry directly — task, date, hours, and billable or non-billable — in seconds.

Watch it feed the numbers

Logged time updates retainer balances, project dashboards and utilisation instantly. No reconciliation at month-end.

What you get

Everything it takes to run this properly

Start/stop timers

A live timer sits one click away from any task. Start it when you begin, stop it when you switch — every minute captured.

Manual entry for the forgotten hours

Add past entries with a date, task and duration. Time tracking that works with human memory, not against it.

Per-client and per-project summaries

See exactly where the week went — by client, project or task. Summaries that answer 'what did we actually do?' without exporting anything.

Billable vs non-billable

Tag every entry billable or non-billable so utilisation and margin calculations are honest from the start.

Retainer hours deducted automatically

Every logged hour comes off the client's retainer balance in real time — the same system that stops over-servicing.

Visible across the team

Managers see who's working on what and how much capacity is left, without asking. Accountability by default, not by chasing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I log time in Dashtrack?+

Two ways: start a live timer against any task, or add a manual entry with a date, task and duration. Both tie the hours to the client and project automatically.

Can I track billable and non-billable hours separately?+

Yes. Every time entry can be tagged billable or non-billable, so utilisation and margin calculations reflect reality instead of a blanket assumption.

Does time tracking update my retainer balances?+

Yes — that's the point. Every logged hour is deducted from the client's retainer balance in real time, so you always know how many hours are left.

Will my team actually use it?+

The timer lives inside the task tools your team already uses, and manual entry takes seconds. Agencies tell us that's the difference between time tracking that works and timesheets that don't.
