Key takeaways
- Creative teams resent timers, so automatic active, idle and break time keeps records without the friction.
- Daily and monthly reports can be exported as CSV, Excel or PDF for review.
- TIMO360 does not track hours per client or project, so keep your billing tool for that.
Agencies mix creatives, strategists and account managers, often working remotely and often switching between clients several times a day. Asking all of them to start and stop timers for each task is a good way to get inaccurate data and unhappy people.
Why timers struggle in creative work
Creative work does not start and stop cleanly. Someone moves from a brief to a design to a client call within the hour. Timers get forgotten, and the corrections that follow erode confidence in the numbers.
Automatic records instead
With TIMO360, employees punch in and the agent records active, idle, break and meeting time in the background. Client calls count as working time, and breaks pause tracking, so the record reflects a real day.
Useful for agency management
See who is working across time zones when staff and freelancers are spread out.
Review each employee's day with them using their own report.
Export daily, weekly or monthly reports as CSV, Excel or PDF for review or payroll.
What it does not do
TIMO360 does not assign hours to clients or projects. If you bill clients by the hour, keep your project tool for that and use presence data to check overall attendance and workload.
Keep trust with staff
Agencies depend on people who are free to do their best work. Tell the team what is and is not recorded, and let them see their own reports.
