Manual time tracking is error-prone
Time tracking is essential, but doing it manually is inefficient. Employees forget to start timers, data is approximate, and time spent filling out timesheets is time lost on high-value tasks.
Main negative impacts:
Inaccurate data
A posteriori entry leads to wrong estimates, impacting client billing and profitability analysis.
Administrative time loss
Time spent documenting activities reduces the real operational capacity of teams.
Project misalignment
Without real-time visibility, managers cannot adjust resources before budgets are exceeded.
Swiftask connects your AI agents to Sidetracker to automate real-time time tracking. The agent detects your activities and records them automatically in Sidetracker.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Before Swiftask
The employee finishes a task. They must remember to start/stop the timer in Sidetracker, or worse, fill in their time manually at the end of the week.
With Swiftask + Sidetracker
The AI agent identifies the work context, triggers the recording in Sidetracker at the start of the activity, and closes it precisely at the end.
