Fixed-bid IT projects overrun when dev time is invisible.
Workstatus makes it visible — automatically.
Beyond employee monitoring.
See outcomes, not activity.
Connect developer and delivery hours to project budgets, margin, and overrun signals — so IT service businesses see risk in sprint two, not at the final invoice.
IT project tracking tools show task status
They don't show whether the hours match the estimate.
Three ways IT service businesses lose margin on projects that looked on track.
Fixed-bid overruns are invisible until they're expensive
When dev time isn't tracked against estimates in real time, a project can consume 1.5x the budgeted hours before anyone flags it. “The team was delivering. We just didn't see the budget burning until week eight.”
You can't replicate what your best teams do
Your highest-performing teams deliver consistently. But without hour-level project data, you can't identify what makes them different — sprint velocity, task allocation, focus time — and you can't teach it to other teams. Best practice stays in people's heads.
Client billing disputes happen when hours aren't defensible
T&M clients push back when invoices arrive without clear task-level hour records. Offshore and nearshore delivery teams are especially exposed when time data is incomplete or reconstructed. The dispute is won by whoever has better records.
Every project. Every signal.
All in one view.
Your delivery head’s morning dashboard — budget health, workload, delivery risk, before the first standup.
The difference between
knowing and guessing.
You see when people are online, which apps are open, how long they were idle. You still don’t know whether the project will deliver.
“We had a monitoring tool. Engineers hated it. Attrition went up 30%. We replaced it with Workstatus and within 60 days our best engineers said it felt fair.”
Head of Engineering — SaaS delivery firm, Bangalore (85 engineers)
You see margin by project, workload health, burnout signals, delivery risk. Every employee sees their own data too. Trust goes up. Outcomes improve.
“I was worried when we started using Workstatus. Then I saw my own dashboard. It’s not about watching me. It’s about helping the team work better.”

What IT services time intelligence looks like.
Instead of task management + timesheet.
Dev hours, project margin, and delivery risk — connected in one platform.
Project & Margin Protection
Hours tracked against estimates continuously — overrun signals in sprint two, not at project close.
Dev Team Utilisation
See billable vs. non-billable time by developer, team, and project — and find where capacity is leaking.
Client Profitability Visibility
Which clients are profitable, which projects are underperforming, and which engagements are worth more investment — by client and project.
Numbers from service teams
in the first 90 days.
Measured from customer deployments. Not projections.
increase in billable hours recovered in first 90 days
average time to detect project drift before the client conversation
reduction in manual reporting time per project lead
We were running blind on project margin. Every month we’d rebuild the same spreadsheet — and by then it was too late. Now we see budget drift in week 2, not after the engagement closes.
Built for trust
in both directions.
Connect. See. Act.

Replace surveillance with visibility
Connect your project stack — Jira, Asana, ClickUp, or Workstatus natively. Your team’s dashboard activates immediately. Every employee sees their own data from day one.
Work captures automatically
Time maps to projects at the app level, silently, in the background. No timers, no manual logs. Workstatus connects those hours to outcomes.
Your team sees their data. You see the patterns.
Budget drift surfaces in week 2, not at billing. Workload imbalances appear before burnout. Weekly intelligence report sent automatically every Friday.
Questions every buyer asks.
Answered honestly.
The objections your team will raise — resolved before the first meeting.
Intelligence instead of surveillance.
