What is Time Tracking Software?
Time tracking software is a digital solution that helps businesses and individuals record the time spent on various tasks, projects, and clients. For Australian agencies, freelancers, and consultants, accurate time tracking is essential for billing clients correctly, understanding project profitability, and improving team productivity.
Payly's time tracking software goes beyond simple timers. It's designed specifically for service businesses that bill by the hour, offering seamless integration with invoicing, project management, and client billing. Whether you're tracking billable hours for client projects or monitoring internal team productivity, Payly makes time tracking effortless.
Unlike standalone time tracking tools like Toggl or Harvest, Payly combines time tracking with invoicing, e-signatures, and document management in one unified platform. This means you can track time, generate invoices, get contracts signed, and manage project documents—all without switching between multiple apps.
With mobile apps for iOS (Android coming soon), your team can track time from anywhere. Whether working from the office, home, or on-site with clients, accurate time tracking is just a tap away. Real-time sync ensures everyone stays updated, and automated reminders help your team never forget to log their hours.
