INDUSTRY
IT services and software companies
The teams Workclave was built for first: project-based delivery, hourly and retainer clients, and a statutory attendance obligation that a global time tracker ignores entirely.
Present from 10 to 7 tells you nothing
A thirty-person services shop in Bengaluru might run nine client projects at once, half of them billed hourly to clients three time zones away. Clock-in and clock-out records that someone was present from 10 to 7. It cannot tell you which of those hours were billable, on which project, or whether the retainer is already underwater.
The tools that answer the billing question are usually built elsewhere and know nothing about Indian statutory reality; the tools that produce a compliant register are payroll suites that treat project attribution as an afterthought. Firms end up running both and reconciling by hand.
How the session model fits
- 01
Every work block carries its project and client
Utilisation and billables fall out of the data instead of out of a Friday-night spreadsheet.
- 02
A manager approves it
The closed session lands in a review queue with its full context — who, which project, how long, which day. Approving takes a click, and the decision is recorded against the session permanently.
- 03
The same record produces the register
India Labour Code registers, and EU or UK working-time records for offshore staff, are generated from the sessions that already drove billing.
- 04
Nothing intrusive runs on the engineer's machine
No screenshots, no keystroke logging — which matters when your competitive constraint is retaining good engineers.
What changes
- Billable versus non-billable splits automatically by project and client.
- Managers approve sessions inline — no timesheet chasing.
- Statutory attendance comes from the same session data, across India, the EU and the UK.
- Utilisation per person and per team measured rather than assumed.
Where we would not oversell it
If your delivery is a single long-running staff-augmentation contract with one client and no project switching, most of the attribution machinery here is spare capacity — a simpler tool would do. Workclave earns its keep when several clients, projects and billing models run at once.
IT services & software — common questions
We bill some clients hourly and others on retainer. Does that work?
Yes. Sessions carry project and client context regardless of how you bill, so you get billable-hour totals for the hourly clients and burn-down for the retainers from the same data.
We are not a time-tracking culture. Will this feel like surveillance?
No screenshots, no keystroke logging, no biometric capture. People start and stop work sessions and attach them to a project — closer to version control than a punch clock. Most teams find it less intrusive than the spreadsheet it replaces.
Do we still get a clean attendance register for compliance?
Yes, and in whichever form your jurisdiction expects. India Labour Code registers, EU and UK daily working-time records, FLSA hours and Fair Work retention are all generated from the same session data.
