Time is one of your most valuable assets in today’s business times! As a business, when you are managing client projects, handling customer service, or leading development runs, accurate time tracking can be a significant contributor toward your profitability. Unfortunately, manual time logging and disconnected tracking systems can lead to inaccurate billing, missed deadlines, and poor resource allocation.
But what if you could track every billable minute directly from your CRM? This is exactly what the new Timesheet Plugin for SuiteCRM offers! This plugin is purpose-built for efficient time management within Suite CRM, and transforms how teams log hours, manage workloads, and generate accurate reports- without having to leave the CRM environment.
SuiteCRM’s New Time Tracking Tool
The introduction of the Timesheet Plugin marks a significant step forward for SuiteCRM users looking for advanced time management capabilities. Unlike conventional time trackers that live outside your CRM and require constant switching between tools, this plugin is natively integrated into SuiteCRM Project Management workflows. It enables you and your team to log, manage, and analyze time across any SuiteCRM module- Tasks, Cases, Projects, and more with accuracy and ease.
With this tool, businesses do not need to rely on fragmented systems to track work hours. Whether you are billing clients by the hour or just trying to understand how internal resources are allocated, it is important to have accurate, real-time data readily available at your disposal. And now, with this plugin, it is finally possible.
