New: discover the Timer module in eKo!

We are always listening to your needs to improve eKo, and following a request from one of our customers, we have developed a new feature! We are delighted to introduce: the timer!

Why might you like this feature?

The idea for the Timer came from a customer who was looking for a simple way to track the time spent on each client task, and therefore to know how profitable each of her files was.

We quickly realised that this tool could benefit a wide range of professionals in many lines of work: consultants, sales representatives, project managers, developers, HR, outsourced secretaries, lawyers, consultancy firms… Anyone who has to manage tasks with precise deadlines and track their time. The Timer module lets you start and stop a stopwatch for each task in one click. You will know exactly how much time you have spent on each activity and for each client. This precise tracking helps you manage your schedule better, optimise your tasks and, if necessary, justify your services.

A tool for all professionals

Here are the main benefits of the time-tracking module:

• Precise time tracking: Get a clear view of your working time for each task or client.
• Improved productivity: With an overview, you can prioritise your actions better and be more efficient.
• Transparency for your clients: Bill by the hour or easily justify the time spent on specific assignments.
• Ease of use: The timer is seamlessly integrated into the eKo interface and is easy for every user.
• Excel export: Lets you produce statistics and correct entries manually if there is a mistake.
