Start the stopwatch where you work - on a specific task in Freelo. The hours will reflect themselves in the project report, invoice base and team capacity overview. No copying from Excel, no extra time tracking tool.
Stopwatch right at the task
The statement writes itself
Invoice by reality
Time tracking is the measurement of the amount of time a team spends on a specific job - a task, project or client order. In Freelo, you start stopwatch right next to the task you're working on. Once stopped, the hours worked are entered into the project report and the same data is used to create the basis for the invoice and margin report.
Time is short. So don't waste it and write me right now. I'll advise you on how to report.

You charge clients by the hour and need an accurate overview of how many hours went into which job. Right in the task you have a stopwatch that remembers the rate for each person and project separately. One export of the reports makes a great invoice base.
You monitor project budgets and people workload. In the reports you can see how many hours the team has worked, who has spare capacity and who is drowning. You can set rates for multiple projects at once in the Business plan. You manage margin on an ongoing basis, not by deadline.
You need to see where the money is going in the company and where the company is making money. In reports, you can track costs by project, client and people - from a single job to the firm's overall margin. You make decisions based on numbers, not feelings.
Open the task, click the arrow and run the report. Or use the keyboard shortcut ALT+Shift+S. If you forget the stopwatch, you can fill in the time manually - Freelo can handle 2:20, 0830 or 2.5 formats. When you start measuring another task, the previous report will save itself.

The project captain sees an overview of hours by people, tasks and projects. You can filter the report by period, project, author and currency and export to CSV. Use the same spreadsheet to support client invoices and accountant payroll. One export, two uses.

You set the hourly rate for users for specific projects and Freelo remembers it for future reports. The summary of the reports forms the basis for invoicing, where the client can see exactly how many hours were spent on which task and for what amount. You invoice based on reality, not an estimate.
Arrange a consultation on rates
In the Business plan, you adjust the rate across multiple projects at once, instead of adjusting each one separately. You can lock other members' timesheets so they don't override their own. The captain, company captain, and project manager can see everyone's timesheets. Members choose which of their colleagues can see their time.

You may have come across Toggl and Clockify - separate stopwatches. Freelo is a project tool where you have a stopwatch right at the task - where the team plans, communicates and hands off work. No copying data between tools, no paying for another tool.

You create a project, tasks in it. For each task you set a solver and a deadline. That's all you need to get started.
Open the task and click on the arrow in the top bar. When you are done with the task, stop the timer by clicking on the STOP square.
The project manager can see how many hours the team has already spent on the task, who is free and who is overloaded. Margins and budgets are updated in real time.
At the end of the month, you filter the reports by client, export the billing base and invoice based on reality, not an estimate.
Answers to the most common questions we get from teams starting out with Freelo.
Open the task and click on the arrow icon. Stopwatches can be found next to each task, in the top bar of Freelo, or by using the ALT+Shift+S keyboard shortcut. When you are finished, the stopwatch stops and the time is entered into the task and project report. Detailed instructions can be found in the time tracking help.

Freelo can handle short formats: 2:20 means two hours and twenty minutes, 0830 means eight hours and thirty minutes, 2.5 means two and a half hours. You can only report back for yourself - only the captain or project administrator edits other people's reports.
Yes. You set the rate with the user for a specific project and Freelo remembers it for future reports. In the Business plan, you can adjust the rate in bulk across multiple projects at once. You can lock the rate to others so they don't override it themselves.
Yes, the project captain, company captain and project administrator can see the reports of all members. Team members can set who among other colleagues can see their reports - the captain and administrator always have access.
From the report overview, filter by period, project or currency and export the CSV. The spreadsheet includes tasks, hours, rates and total amount - send it to the client as an attachment to the invoice so they know exactly what they're paying for. Issue the invoice itself in your billing tool or consult with our crew.
You can manually complete the historical reports for the respective tasks. For bulk import, email our support crew - we will advise how to convert the data so you don't have to manually overwrite the hours.
