Time Tracking App for Consultants
Replicon’s time tracking app for consultant helps track productive hours efficiently without disrupting the consultant’s work.
What is a Time Tracking App?
A time tracking app is an application that is used by an enterprise to keep track of the productive hours of an employee or a resource. The app tracks start and end time, breaks, overtime, etc. Using the time tracker app, one can gain insights on how much time was spent on different clients, projects, and tasks at a granular level. Time Tracking apps record the time input and automatically calculate the total hours worked by the employee by following the formula of subtracting lunch breaks and adding overtime hours. The resulting duration is the total productive hours of the employee.
The app calculates the employee’s wage based on the hours worked. This is done based on current state labor laws on hourly wage and overtime pay.Time Tracking Apps can be used on multiple devices like desktops, mobiles, and tablets and can track time on the go. Consultants too can use a Time tracking app to keep track of the number of hours worked on a particular project. The app helps consultants to keep their tasks organized and consolidate their efforts made towards completing a designated task of a project. The app tracks time on the go and from anywhere around the globe.

How do Consultants track their time?
Consultants usually track their productive hours manually which is time-consuming and can often lead to overbilling for a client. Most of the consulting firms do not have any clarity on clients’ hourly billable hours. An automated time tracking app can make a consultant’s job easy by organizing the tasks and time spent on the tasks hand-in-hand which results in efficient execution of the designated tasks and also streamline the task execution and client management process. The Consultant has to input his/her start and end time for each task and for breaks taken if any. This time is calculated for the total hours spent on a task. Clients get a clear picture of the billable hours of the Consultant and thus avoid overbilling.
