Engineering work spans many activities throughout the day, yet those hours are rarely recorded as they happen. By the time a timesheet gets filled in, most of that detail is already gone.
Project estimates are set at kickoff, then priorities shift as work progresses. Without a way to compare actual hours against the original estimate, a project can drift off schedule for weeks before anyone notices.
It's common for engineers to split their time across several projects, while workload tracking still relies on spreadsheets, if it's tracked at all. Without a shared view of engineering workloads, it's hard to see who has capacity for new work and who is already stretched thin.
Without consistent time tracking, it's difficult to understand the engineering effort a project actually required. That makes it harder to explain project costs, allocate resources, and understand where engineering time is really going.
From project hours and estimates to engineering workloads, each role gets the level of visibility it actually needs.
Reviews project reports to understand where engineering time goes across the department, compare delivery against plans, and support staffing decisions.
Reviews team workloads, compares actual hours against estimates, and identifies projects that need additional resources.
Tracks actual hours against estimates and monitors project workflows to catch schedule risks before they affect delivery.
Logs time against tasks and projects as work happens, using the calendar view or mobile app to keep timesheets accurate without extra work at the end of the week.
The easier it is to record time, the more accurate project data becomes.
actiTIME lets engineers choose between a weekly timesheet, calendar view, or mobile app, so hours are logged as work happens instead of being reconstructed days later.
Set an estimate for each task before work begins, then compare it against the actual hours logged.
When a task starts running past its estimate, you'll see it early enough to adjust staffing or the project timeline before it affects delivery.
Set up custom workflow statuses that match your engineering process.
The Kanban board gives managers a real-time view of work progress, making it easy to spot bottlenecks before they affect project delivery.
Set a time or cost budget for any project or task, then watch it update automatically as hours are logged.
The budget indicator updates in real time, giving managers an early warning before a project runs over budget.
Logged hours only become useful when they explain what happened on a project. actiTIME connects time to estimates, costs, and workloads in reports that help engineering managers understand project performance as work progresses.

* Pre-filled based on general time tracking benchmarks: engineering teams typically lose 10–15% of tracked time to estimate drift and inaccurate logging. Adjust if you have more accurate internal data.
We were most impressed with actiTIME's professional look and feel. The low entry price, as well as powerful features made it the best time tracking choice, by far.
We now have a better finger on the pulse of our business. I believe you will find the value of actiTIME to be unsurpassed. The application is top-notch, the support team is responsive, and the price can't be beat. Give it a try, you will be impressed.
actiTIME has an attractive user interface that allows our employees to record their time in an efficient manner.
This lets them spend more time generating revenue and less time entering hours worked. Its structure is also flexible enough to be customized to our unique requirements.
Our company needed a simple way of tracking time used on multiple projects – and actiTIME fit the need. Its interface is simple and easy to maintain.
We use the application for time management, task estimation and also to communicate deadline information to our team members. Now having actiTIME we can better predict future project requirements!
Personally, I am involved in a number of major projects that require me to keep track of more than 200 deliverables. Having actiTIME forces me not to lose track of the time spent on each of these projects.
In fact, actiTIME is our global solution in R&D to time-track all our projects because of the easy implementation and low infrastructure requirements.
Time tracking software helps engineers record hours by project and task, compare actual time against estimates, and understand where engineering effort is going across multiple projects. Unlike a basic timesheet tool, actiTIME also connects logged hours to project budgets, workloads, and reporting, giving managers a clearer view of project performance.
Yes. actiTIME is time tracking software for engineering teams working across multiple locations, making it easy to coordinate work across offices, labs, production sites, and client locations. Managers get one consolidated view of project hours, workloads, and progress across the organization.
Yes. actiTIME works equally well for client and internal engineering projects. Teams can track hours, compare actual time against estimates, monitor project costs, and review workloads regardless of whether the work is billable. Billing features are available when needed, but they aren't required to manage engineering projects effectively.
Yes. As cloud-based engineering time tracking software, actiTIME lets different engineering teams work in the same workspace while keeping their own project structure, workflow statuses, work types, and permissions. This gives each department the flexibility to follow its own process while providing managers with consistent reporting across the organization.
Yes. Engineers can log time from the office, a lab, a production site, or a client location using the actiTIME mobile app. Hours stay connected to the right projects, tasks, and reports, giving managers a complete view of engineering work regardless of where it's performed.
Yes. actiTIME connects with 2,000+ business apps through Zapier, offers an open API for custom integrations and data exports, and includes a Chrome extension for capturing time from browser-based tools. It also integrates with QuickBooks Online and actiPLANS, making it easy to connect time tracking with the other systems your organization already uses.
