Everhour handles this task nicely. This is proved by our today’s guest – Ryan Aker, a founder of RCA Web.

Hi Ryan, welcome,  let’s start by asking you to tell us what your company does.

RCA Web is a small business for Web Design/Development, Hosting, Management, and Consulting. All our contractors are remote-based but 100% US-based. We are a lean team, but efficient in what we do. Providing the best code and services is the number 1 priority.

And to achieve these tasks you need to be good at time tracking of what you do?

Absolutely! Time tracking is very important because we provide ourselves with being as transparent as possible with our customers for what they are paying for. They are paying for work that is getting done and nothing more.

What project management tool does your team use?

GitHub Issues is our PM tool. Having the ability for developers and customers to add and track issues for the different projects/applications on 1 location keeps workflow more streamlined. The icing on the cake is the Everhour integration to track time with Github to a PR or Issue.

Have you ever tried any other time tracking tool?

No other time tracking tools are used. Everhour integration to GitHub and the lightweight, not over-developed applications is perfect for our developers.

What are the Top 3 things you love most about Everhour?

As I mentioned before, the integration allows us to track time with Github which really makes this process a breeze. As a manager, I like your various types of reports, specifically a report based on date range and by each or all team members.

Besides, it is amazing that you can see a timer in multiple repos in Github and new repos always sync automatically.

Thanks, Ryan!

Like I say: “with time you can make money but with money, you can’t make time.“

Of course, you may say: with money you can buy time, outsourcing most of your tasks, but that goes back to time management, and it all comes down to the most valuable resource we can manage in our lives. It applies to everything – both on a personal and professional level.

Hi! I’m Daniel de Castro Ruivo, co-founder, and manager of Altar.io.

We create MVPs from idea to market, starting with business analysis, to product research, UX/UI, and software development. We have both client and internal projects. We are close to 20 people and we work in a hybrid mode having both in loco and remote teams.

When managing a company like Altar the importance of time & timing is highly expressive. This must apply to any company I guess and in my case, I’m managing my time, the team’s time, the client’s timings, and the market’s timings.

How and Why Did I Pick Everhour Among 10 Other Time Tracking Tools?

The same approach and principles can be easily applied to the selection of any other software.

We were using different tools for Project Management and Time Tracking and we needed to integrate them for obvious reasons: there is no such thing as management without tracking. When I started scouting the market I had in mind:

• Robustness
• Centralization
• Integration with PM services
• Flexibility
• Adoption curve
• Price
• Customer Support

Robustness

Robustness is vital in any system we want to integrate into our working flux because we cannot afford to stop the team for 3rd party services instability issues. In the end, this topic was easy to cover, since all the top 10 recommended tools seemed pretty stable and with a significant user base to make it a solid move.

Centralization

With centralization, I mean the business and project managers must have a centralized dashboard to see in real-time what is happening with all the involved collaborators of each project.

In Altar’s case, this is a vital step because we have a full transparency policy with our clients and at each step of a sprint the client knows what is happening. So not only do I want to have access to this information as I want to share it with my client.

With Everhour I liked the custom-made reports a lot. I create the report templates which are highly flexible and then with a single click I can report to my clients and the Product Owners can report to the management in literally 1 minute.

Integration with PM services

In this topic we have a special situation, most companies use one single Project Management Tool, but we use 2, Trello our standard choice, and Jira because some clients demand it.

Our first choice is Trello because we get all the flexibility we need. Trello is in many cases uncomprehended. Many times experienced project managers and software engineers say Trello is not their tool because “you can’t do this or that”. The truth is you can do whatever you want if you know how to use it and integrate it with other tools you are already using, such as Google Documents, Gantt for Trello, GitHub, etc.

I always find a way to prove you can do whatever you want with Trello except for 1 or 2 very specific features from other PM tools. I see it as an almost white canvas, agnostic to the process you use. That is why I find it perfect because you can implement whatever you need and everyone, from clients to collaborators, understands how to use it without instructions.

Everhour integrates with Trello and Jira and many other PM tools literally in a single click.

And as I said previously, it is vital for us to have full transparency in all processes with all stakeholders, from collaborators to a client, so this integration is highly relevant because the Client will see the reports using the exact same titles we’re using in Trello’s or Jira’s tickets with the time each collaborator estimated and took in each ticket.

Flexibility

Easy to imagine, as founder and manager of a small size agency I have to wear several hats, from strategy to marketing decisions, to day-to-day management to product decisions, to business development, I don’t have 2 days that are the same. So I was looking for a tool that could give a structure to my team’s time reporting activity and be flexible enough for my and my co-founder’s asymmetric workdays.

This one was a hard decision because some tools are totally flexible, you can log now and assign to a project and ticket later but Everhour was not. While Everhour has a strict user flux here.

I was fully committed to Everhour when I found this and for a time I was valuing the trade-off until I decided to adopt it for a period test. Now I understand and it actually helps us get even more organized.

The balance between flexibility and guarantees is the following:

• On one side you have the team always reporting in compliance with the defined tickets that are distributed in each scrum.
• On the other side, we created a list in Trello for the recurring tasks: like scrum meetings, strategy meetings, etc. and we keep using these cards for the repetitive tasks.

Adoption curve

With Everhour, the onboarding/adoption for the team was very fast and smooth. Onboarding is a simple email invitation and adoption was immediate from all operational teams: designers, developers, VA’s, marketers, and almost immediately from the managers.

Price

On the price side, Everhour is an outlier on the bright side. It is by far the best pricing. It also provides a free plan!

Customer Support

Customer Support wise I also strongly recommend it. Both by email and chat, the support team members always answer in 10 minutes, I always speak with the same account, so they always know what is my context, and they are even open to hearing some of our suggestions, in terms of product usability and UX. This means you are not talking to a machine, rather you have real customer support.

That was my process to pick Everhour. I hope it helps you if you are pondering Time Tracking / Reporting Tools.

BONUS

Since we’re talking about time and productivity I leave a fast note about my hacks to keep priorities in mind and avoid procrastination.

Hack your team’s productivity

On a team level, we do several strategy meetings with the co-founders’ team, to keep priorities in place and all of us aligned with a common strategic vision:

monthly scrum: up to 4h,
weekly scrum: up to 1h,
daily scrum: 5m > 15m,

Note: the meetings always have a predefined agenda shared across all participants at least 1 day before the meeting.

Personal productivity hacks (that you can start using today)

On a personal level, I do a ritual I invented that I call “To the center”. This ritual helps me keep the center and focus on the long-term priorities. The ritual is super simple:

I browse a folder with a collection of pictures of 2 kinds: (I) things that I love the most in life and work; and (II) images that inspire me and things I want to achieve. I just do this ritual when I need to come back to the center I want to keep in focus and It helps a lot.

I also use the “Eat That Frog” technique. I simply start my day with the most important task that I’m avoiding or feeling more friction to start. The idea comes from a Mark Twain sentence “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day” and it was turned into a book by Brian Tracy (that I never read, to be honest).

The idea is so simple and highly practical that I just started doing it and it simply works. Another detail of this hack is finishing each day picking the frog for the upcoming day.

Last simple and practical tip: DON’T CHECK YOUR EMAIL in the first 1h of work. The early hours in the morning are the best for your brain, so use it with the relevant things that need your brain before you get into the daily loop.

Everhour is the top choice for small businesses and small to mid-size teams of 5 to 50 members, including professionals like software developers, marketers, designers, consultants, lawyers, you name it!

Seamlessly integrating with popular project management tools like Asana, Trello, and Jira, its user-friendly interface and customizable reports make it the ultimate time tracking solution for small and mid-size teams.

The post How and Why a Founder of Altar.io Picked Everhour Among 10 Other Time Tracking Tools appeared first on Everhour Blog.

Today it’s again why Everhour is considered to be a perfect Trello time tracker. We brought in some really hard evangelists of ours from Nebular who call themselves hackers and tinkerers willing to change the world. We spoke with David Cano, their CIO about how they track time working on client projects.

Hi David, our classic question is to ask what’s your business about. What’s unique in your team?

We are a team of software developers who provide freedom and dynamism to our client’s projects, always ready to quickly experiment with new ideas with them. What’s unique about our team is the freedom that our members have to choose when and where to work, we love to work asynchronously.

Hmm, so how, in your opinion, time tracking helps you perform better with such an approach to work?

Tracking time is one of the pillars of our freedom because we need to understand our efforts. It helps each individual to acknowledge his own goals and performance, and as a team always grow together in a single direction.

What project management tool is the best fit for your asynchronous approach?

We use Trello to manage almost everything, from client projects to our special interests and other initiatives. We love the way it adapts to various situations or our business. It includes seamless integrations and great collaboration features for successful and enjoyable team communication.

Have you tried any other time tracking tools prior to Everhour? What made your choice in our favor?

We had tried Toggle and even a mix of Pomodoro technique with spreadsheets, but those solutions were too cumbersome or missing some important points. EH fulfills our basic requirements. You see a timer right in Trello and track your time inside Trello cards. It’s really quick and simple, all this for a fair price.

What are 3 things that make you say that Everhour is a perfect time tracker for your business?

It’s really easy and quick to start tracking time for any task by just clicking on a timer.

It integrates really well with Trello (our project management tool). All projects are synced and added seamlessly.

Everhour reports are really awesome, they are so easy to customize by selecting the data columns to show up in your reports. Besides, the column choice is extremely various!

Thanks, David!

The post Why Nebular Claims Everhour is a Perfect Trello Time Tracker appeared first on Everhour Blog.

There are many reasons for their success, and Everhour is pleased to find out that our integration, which makes time tracking for Trello a breeze, is among these reasons 🙂

Hi Mike, can we ask you to tell our readers what is your business about? What makes your team unique?

UpBuild is a technical marketing agency. We provide SEO, analytics, and Conversion Rate Optimization for companies who want a semi-permanent virtual team member. Our team is 100% distributed and we have team members in five states across the US. 

This is an amazing post on how a remote team can become successful! Why do you find tracking time is so essential?

Everything we do comes back to time. Our “product” is providing clients with a technical marketing expert for 32-50 hours per month. We don’t bill by the hour, but we work a set number of hours each month. Each week, our clients get a snapshot of the tasks we’ve been working on, how much time we’ve used, and how much time they have left.

Time tracking is important because it allows us to analyze how long common tasks have taken us in the past and adjust our planning accordingly.

What project management tool do you use to keep everything organized?

We use Trello. This is our choice because it’s straightforward and free. It gives us exactly what we want without trying to force in features we don’t need.

Any other time tracking tools used? Why Everhour?

Just like Trello, Everhour is simple and lets us do the one thing we need to do with it. We aren’t forced to use additional features that we don’t care about. Everhour does one thing and does it really well.

Top 3 things you love about Everhour. How does it help your business?

• It makes time tracking for Trello super simple, you feel the timer is a natural part of the Trello app.
• Integration with Trello is seamless and eliminates the pain of having to link each manually link new Trello boards to your time tracker.
• Easy reporting, which allows our team to either use built-in reports or create new ones to show us exactly what data we need.

Thanks, Mike!

The guest’s name is Kenny Lange, Founder of The PHNX21creative Agency.

He calls himself a Founder and Caffeine Enthusiast. He likes to speak, coach, and do blogging. He claims that he loves Jesus, his family, and cheers for Chelsea FC (who are highly likely to win the Premier League title this season).

Hi Kenny, we usually start with asking to tell about your company. What’s unique in your team?

The PHNX21creative Agency is a digital-first agency focused on coaching small businesses to take their next marketing step. We are unique in that we form partnerships with our clients, educate them, and then become their marketing department.

Why does time tracking matter for your company?

Time is a factor in how we measure profitability per project or per client retainer. No one wants to bill $500/month for services and find out you made $5/hr for the month because you were way over-serviced.

What tool or software helps you to do project management?

We use Basecamp 3. We were using some Basecamp alternatives, Teamwork Projects and others, but found that it was too robust for our purposes. The main reason, besides simplicity, is the ease of use for our clients. We are hyper-focused on effective, quick communication with our clients and if they have trouble using the tool, then WE are the ones with the problem.

Have you ever used any other time tracking tools? Why Everhour?

Teamwork Projects had a built-in time tracker and I liked it, but it was exclusive to Teamwork. Getting a project management tool that worked for us was our top priority. After that, having the best, most deeply integrated time tracker was our mission. As the owner, I had a few key pieces of criteria (see the above-mentioned article for those) and I went about researching the top-rated and most recommended and narrowed the options against that list. Eventually, it came down to Toggl and Everhour. See them compared. We chose Everhour because it looked like it was developed for time tracking in Basecamp 3 and the deep integration caused the least amount of friction. Everhour was also the most affordable among Basecamp integrations and other Basecamp time tracking integrations for the number of users and feature set.

What Top 3 things do you love about Everhour? How does it help your business?

Here are our top 3:

• Seamless integration into our key apps (BC3, GitHub, and BC2): We don’t have to learn a new time tracker for each app. It dramatically lowers switching costs which help us maintain better profit margins.

• Simple reporting: I can, at any time, see how much time we’ve spent on anything during any time period with very few clicks. Plus, the reports are simple and easy to understand.

• Quick responses from the support team: Sometimes I’m genuinely stumped on how to work the app and other times I’m a little lazy and just want someone to tell me how to do what I want. The support team responds within hours with a complete answer that isn’t condescending. That’s something we try to model in our agency so aligned values are very attractive to me.

Thanks, Kenny, and keep rising!

The post Why PHNX21creative Made Everhour Their Time Tracker in Basecamp 3 appeared first on Everhour Blog.

Today’s participant is Jon Wilcox – a Senior Graphic Designer at Mount Hermon Association, dedicated to enlarging our religious experience and uniting the Christian community of all ages and professions.

Hi Jon, just some words about what you do. What’s unique in your team?

We are a Christian camp and conference center in the Santa Cruz CA mountains, including family camps, youth camps, summer camps, as well as events for men, women, couples, and professionals. I work with a design team inside of a non-profit.

Why does tracking time matter for your company?

Time tracking for us is not meant to justify positions or check up on employees. We use it to make sure that the jobs we are designing have a real return on investment. We can use the data that we get from time tracking to justify or move away from a particular practice.

So the need for good data to make sure that we are being responsible stewards of the money we are allotted is very important.

What project management tool do you use and why?

We use Basecamp 3 as an organization. We tried out several Basecamp alternatives before that but they didn’t work in a way that met our needs. It gives us the simple functionality that we need to ensure the projects are completed and that there is some accountability.

I like how Basecamp breaks the projects down into lists with to-dos. This is so powerful when you work on a huge task that is split into smaller tasks. This way it is easier to see where you stand at this moment. What they lack is they are not a time management app, in a sense, there is no way to track how much time I spent on my to-dos. You can always use Basecamp integrations for that though.

Any other time management apps used before? Why Everhour?

We did use Toggl and were pleased with it but for us, the Basecamp 3 integration was a must. So, Everhour was the best time management app that we found for Basecamp 3 time tracking. It places a timer into a to-do in such a native way, that you can’t even get it is not a part of Basecamp 🙂

Top 3 things you love about Everhour. How does it help your business?

1) The Basecamp 3 integration and ease (widgets) keep us from hopping around from program to program.

2) It appears this is an evolving program and to me, it is exciting to work with a company that is intent on improving its product.

3) The ability to customize reports gives us a chance to pull data quickly and when we need it.

Thank you, Jon!

He will share how Everhour helped his team to pinpoint weaknesses of time management within a company and improve the whole working process, thus making the team perform better.

Hi Aiden, let’s start with a few sentences about your company. What makes it stand out?

We’re a digital marketing company focusing on search.

The whole team is technically adept, allowing us to build and deploy campaigns rapidly and perform a variety of functions. More importantly, we’re committed to helping our clients build their businesses sustainably and quickly, not just the latter. We started out designing websites and only got into marketing because we wanted to be sure the sites we made were managed and grown as much as possible. Now that’s almost all we do.

There are some examples of our work you can look at on our website.

Why does tracking time matter for your team?

We have a variety of clients and are looking to grow further. So, it’s important in a situation like ours to understand exactly how many hours a client takes and what time resources are being spent on what project. A good time tracker is a perfect solution for this. A great benefit of this is that it allows us to prioritize where and how we can improve processes and automate them. What is more, what kind of investment we can justify putting into that?

How do you organize your work and what needs to be done? Do you use any special software for this?

We use Basecamp 2 for project management. It lets us manage multiple projects for multiple clients fairly easily. We could see the whole picture of what was done for each client and what needs to be done.

At the same time, we keep track of day-to-day objectives and have a prepared plan with short-term tasks. We also step into using Basecamp alternatives from time to time 🙂

Have you ever used any other time tracker besides Everhour?

We looked around for time tracking tools. One of the biggest things that sold us on Everhour was that it fit into our existing Basecamp time tracking workflow very easily.

So, Everhour fits your workflow. How does it help your business now?

Everhour is easy to use, has excellent reporting and team reporting features. It has already proven to be a valuable tool.

For example, Everhour quickly allowed us to pinpoint that reporting was taking a lot more hours than anyone estimated; by taking the time to automate the process, we’re now saving days of work a year, allowing us to focus more on the work our clients want us to do and less on the reporting aspect. Essentially, Everhour paid for itself many times over within the first month of using it.

Now, we’re using it to make sure all our clients get the proper attention as well as a tool to focus where operations need to be streamlined.

Thanks, Aiden!

The post Everhour Turned Into Our Best Basecamp 2 Time Tracker – Hudson Creative appeared first on Everhour Blog.

We are pleased to talk to Lynn Worrell, who is their Director, Project Management.

Hi Lynn, let’s start the story with some words about your company. What makes you unique?

We have spent the last two decades delivering hundreds of technology products, from websites and enterprise integrations to game camera control systems and first responder apps.

We pride ourselves on a unique, agile approach that creates successful launches and lasting partnerships. A Partnership for Innovation & Growth. We get to know you and your business very well. You will have a dedicated client partner in charge of understanding your goals and vision throughout the project.

Why does employee time tracking matter for your company?

We pride ourselves on our ability to accurately estimate scope, and the ability to track actual time against specific tasks is very important to make sure our projects stay on track, especially with new information and ideas that emerge mid-project.

How do you manage all your tasks and projects?

We have tried several different task tracking tools over the last several years. We stopped on Pivotal Tracker when development teams understood how to structure the workflow and use it consistently and efficiently.

Our Project Managers work with the Dev teams to create each project board and identify the epics of a project and then the workable stories within each epic. The project team meets regularly for backlog grooming to estimate, prioritize and/or flesh out the story cards. Then during each Sprint, they add their time to Everhour within the Pivotal Tracker card.

For the majority of our team, they never have to leave Pivotal Tracker to complete their work or track time. The credit goes to your product which proves to be a great employee time tracking tool!

Why does your team choose Everhour above all other employee time tracking tools?

The Integration within Pivotal Tracker is key for us.

Getting the project teams to enter their time accurately in a stand-alone tracking software was not working very well for our needs.

The ability to create/save/share reports has been very beneficial. Being able to answer ‘easy’ questions quickly has helped keep projects on track and clients happy.

The ability to easily explain how to track time to new teammates quickly set up new members and having them easily set up their own Pivotal Tracker integration, without needing documentation or explanations has made the adoption and use of the product virtually painless.

Thanks, Lynn!

The post We Adopted Everhour as Employee Time Tracking Tool – Alloy Digital appeared first on Everhour Blog.

Hi Eduardo, Please Tell Us More About Your Company. What’s Unique About Your Team?

Bonaparte is an advertising agency from Brazil that is constantly pursuing quality and innovation.

We turn the autopilot off to always get the best custom-made solution for our clients’ problems. We have a team composed of people from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise with different experiences and backgrounds organized in a way that everyone has a chance to contribute to the work so we can get the best out of every situation.

Among our clients are important brands from Brazil as Youcom and Agiplan. We also have worked with well-known brands like Converse, Coca-Cola, and others.

Why Tracking Time Matters for Your Company?

In our first years, we had some struggles in regards to time tracking, gave up several times. Today we understand it’s the most efficient way to know if we are getting the best value from the projects we sell and also a good way to spot weaknesses in our processes.

We have a weekly review of the spent time compared to estimates, and we point out spots where we might improve.

What Project Management Tool Does Your Team Use and Why?

We’ve been using Asana for more than a year now. We tested many tools for a couple of months and Asana was where we could best implement our internal flow.

We like to cross tasks through different projects and Asana let us do that. It helps to identify where one project might affect another. Nowadays, not only do we use it to track tasks but it is a great internal communication tool. Some of our employees haven’t used e-mail for some time now.

Have You Tried Any Other Time Tracking Tools?

We tried other tools (Harvest in particular), but now we only use Everhour as our work hours tracker on a regular basis.

The main reason for choosing Everhour is that it’s very well integrated with Asana, keeping our employees’ flow pretty much the same.

Top 3 Things That Make Everhour a Perfect Work Hours Tracker. How It Helps Your Business?

The main thing is, as I said above, how well it’s integrated with Asana. You can keep tracking your time without ever leaving Asana.

We could say that the Reports inside Everhour are already very helpful. I’ve been using a Weekly by Member report. How much time the team reported and on what tasks. Also, I have a Project x Member – monthly. And once we can automate reading some of the stats through an API it will become even more useful.

Any Measurable Results? Any Delightful Numbers?

We are still implementing the tool in our process but we already got a better understanding of the projects we got running in terms of value and bottlenecks.

Can You Give a One-Sentence Testimonial About Everhour for Our Readers?

Everhour is the first tool that made our team feel comfortable about time tracking without breaking their workflow. This is hands down the perfect work hours tracker!

Thank you very much, Eduardo!

The post Everhour is a Perfect Work Hours Tracker – Bonaparte appeared first on Everhour Blog.

Brandon, Could You Tell Us What Is Unique in Your Team?

At Optimal we are all about measuring data. Through our discovery process, data, and user testing we create a clear strategy to reach your target market. In the end, clients receive the data they need to make real decisions. Data they can trust. Analytics, user behavior, empirical evidence.

Among our achievements are the landing page + social campaign with over a 70% conversion rate for new customers; a 237% increase in web traffic after we fully optimized a client’s website for SEO and many others.

Why Does Time Tracking Matter at Your Company?

We increase traffic and conversion rates for our clients, but tracking our internal operational metrics is just as important.

Everhour is the linchpin in our process. We track:

• Total time (Everhour)
• Billable time (Everhour)
• Amount of completed work (Asana)
• Objectives & key results for our clients (Spreadsheets)

The reason time tracking is so important is that it is the lowest common denominator.

You have direct control over the time you spend working on something. This is called a lead indicator, or a metric you can track which will show correlation with ultimate success. In our case, that success means completed work and ultimately great results on the objectives for our clients.

What Project Management Tools When You Work on a Client’s Project?

Everything we do at Optimal lives in Asana. We use a modified version of Scrum to organize and get work done. Using custom views and custom fields (an insanely powerful and flexible feature) we are able to create an ideal workflow for this in Asana.

We have the following custom fields:

• Sprint – Blocked (reviewed at the daily stand up)
• Sprint – Doing (what each person is actively working on)
• Sprint – To do (items committed for the current sprint)
• Backlog (high/medium/low to help with prioritization) – upcoming work with the highest priority at the top of the backlog.

For those who want to see how it works in action, feel free to see this short video of our Asana structure.

Did You Use Any Other Time App Before?

Knowing how important time tracking was, we needed to find a time app that removed all the friction.

We tried program after program (Harvest, Toggl, Tick, Timely). It became an ongoing joke in our office. If I wanted to spook anyone, I would announce that we were, yet again, going to try something new for time tracking 🙂

Then we found Everhour. What we love about Everhour is that placing time tracking in Asana where our team spends most of the time, takes all friction out of the equation.

Moving to 2.0 was a huge upgrade and a bit rocky (as these things commonly are), but the developers move at a break-neck speed.

What Are 3 Things You Like the Most in Everhour?

It gives us optics.  It’s one thing to measure data, but it’s another to use data to change behavior. We want our team to be aware of their time so they can be intentional in their decision on how they spend it.  Everhour surfaces this data for us.

I look forward to new blog posts that seem to come every couple of weeks, highlighting new features that developers are bringing to this time app.

A recent favorite feature is the ability to edit time right in Asana (again removing more friction).

Our team loves Everhour and I can’t picture using anything else.

Thanks, Brandon!
