How a business owner gets an overview of how time is spent across the company

Glen is the owner of GJ Stats, a business and database solutions consultancy.

The challenge: not knowing where the time goes

For Glen, it’s important to be able to understand where time is spent as this informs all aspects of his business.

Having made the switch to working from home, Glen was looking for a solution that provided him with the insight he needed and also helped him better manage his time and maintain the right work-life balance.

The solution: powering up Timeular using integrations

Glen’s day-to-day work revolves around a core set of tasks that he assigns to his time tracking cube. Flipping the dice each time he changes activities, data is automatically recorded in the time tracking app. Yes, it’s an automated time tracker.

If Glen is in the midst of deep work, he uses the QuickTrack desktop shortcut feature of the app, allowing him to track unlimited activities and add notes to entries with minimum effort and interruption.

“I tend to work in short sharp sessions of around 60-90 minutes. Everything is a balance between client meetings, development work, dealing with support requests, and developing new business opportunities.”

The ability to integrate his Timeular account with Toggl means Glen can sync accurate timesheet data effortlessly. Timeular’s integration with Zapier also allows him to connect his other apps including QuickBooks, ClickUp, and Slack.

The outcome: seamless reporting and better transparency

Glen’s time tracking journey with Timeular has transformed his approach to work. Updating clients on the progress of projects is now seamless. With insights at his fingertips, he can focus on the aspects of the business that need it the most. His billing process has become more accurate and seamless too, with time reports exportable in one click.
