What is the best way to track hours when invoicing clients?
What is the best way to track hours when invoicing clients?
The best way to track hours used when invoicing clients is with software that has time tracking features. For many working in professional services, it can be difficult to record and manage billable hours. This inefficiency can end up costing businesses money — both in unbilled hours and employee time spent on inefficient admin processes.
Wrike’s time tracking tool allows users to record and manage the time they spend working on a task. In Timelog View, an overview of these entries can be found. After they are recorded, these entries are locked, which prevents logs from being changed after the fact. This preserves the integrity of the data that team members have collected.
A time tracking tool like Wrike also makes it easy for businesses to act on metrics like employee utilization — which can provide workload, hiring, and productivity insights.
