Do these challenges sound familiar?

The most common productivity gaps, solved by DeskTime.

You don’t know if your team is focused and productive

When time and tasks aren’t tracked automatically, it’s easy for focus to drift and output to drop.

You can’t get clarity on projects and budgets

Manual or inconsistent reports can hide lost hours and reduce visibility into true team performance.

Planning and resource headaches

Poor planning leads to missed deadlines and overworked staff, making project delivery unpredictable.

Teams not performing at full potential

Without updates on your team’s work, it’s hard to know if projects are on track, slowing key decisions.

“There's no gray area with DeskTime. We can keep track of hours with utmost accuracy, follow payroll regulations in different countries, and track employee productivity.”

George Arkin, owner of Nexus Auto Transport
