Native integration means time flows directly into payroll, billing, and project accounting without manual data entry.
Help your workforce submit accurate time with confidence, whether they're billing clients, tracking payroll hours, or allocating project time.
Split time across programmes, grants, projects, and departments automatically with transaction templates that ensure accurate allocation.
Users control their own data and approve all entries—no one sees their activity but them.
Step 1: Sync your data sources.
You can sync different data sources that help give the time assistant an understanding of what you worked on during your day. The data sources are your calendar, email, and computer activity. You choose which sources are used.
Step 2: Intelligent Time privately processes your data.
Once you’ve successfully synced your data sources, just work as usual. Time assistant gets to work while you work, processing your activity and proposing entries for your timesheet. The proposed entries include the amount of time spent on the activity and associated dimensions, such as clients and projects.
Step 3: Review and submit your timesheet
Whenever you’re ready to submit your time, simply review the proposed entries to verify they’re correct, allocate any remaining time where dimensions aren’t suggested, and submit. You have the final say as to what you submit, but we make getting there easy, without letting time slip through the cracks.

The time assistant gets smarter about suggesting projects with every review, saving the professional more and more time.
