Why leading enterprises choose Tempo Timesheets

When your organization needs to track time across complex projects, the tool you choose can make or break your team's productivity. Leading enterprises consistently choose Tempo Timesheets because it delivers what matters most: accurate data, streamlined workflows, and the insights needed to drive business results.

Built for Jira teams that demand precision

Most time tracking tools feel like afterthoughts – disconnected systems that create more work instead of less. Timesheets integrates directly into your existing Jira workflow, appearing natively within issues where your team already works.

This integration means your developers, project managers, and stakeholders log time without switching contexts or learning new interfaces. They track hours on the same screen where they update tickets, assign tasks, and collaborate on solutions.

The result? Higher adoption rates and more accurate time data. When logging time feels natural instead of burdensome, teams actually use the system consistently.

Turn time data into business intelligence

Raw timesheet data tells you what happened. Timesheets transforms that data into insights that drive decisions. Timesheets offers flexible, full-featured reporting capabilities. Without leaving Jira, you can analyze time allocation across projects, teams, and clients with the granularity your business demands.

Timesheets has rich integration with Custom Charts for Jira, enabling your team to produce more visually appealing reports.

You can also export data to Excel or CSV formats for analysis, payroll processing, or client billing. Looking for even deeper analysis? Try BI Connectors. Create custom reports by date ranges, team members, or project phases. Dashboard gadgets provide real-time visibility into resource allocation and project health.

Operations leaders identify bottlenecks and optimize resource planning.

Executive teams make strategic decisions based on actual capacity and utilization data.

Finance teams use these insights to improve billing accuracy and project profitability.

If you're looking for more billing capabilities or end-to-end PSA, Timesheets is even more powerful when bundled with Financial Manager.

Reduce administrative overhead by 70%

Manual timesheet compilation wastes hours every week. Timesheets automates the collection, validation, and reporting process that typically consumes administrative resources.

Managers approve timesheets with a few clicks instead of chasing down spreadsheets. Finance teams access pre-formatted reports for invoicing and payroll instead of manually compiling data from multiple sources. Project leaders monitor progress in real-time instead of waiting for weekly status meetings.

Organizations report reducing administrative time by 70% or more after implementing Timesheets. That time savings translates directly to cost reduction and allows teams to focus on higher-value activities.

Case study: TransUnion

As one of the "Big Three" credit reporting agencies in the U.S. – and with operations in more than 30 countries – TransUnion is a complex organization.

Disconnected systems: TransUnion used Broadcom's Clarity for time tracking while all development work lived in Jira. Having this tool outside of their workflows was slowing everything down.

As Vice President of Enterprise Transformation, Agile and Program Management Office, John Rager oversees the company's agile governance practices, tooling, and program management.

"Our financial approach is to track internally developed software assets and depreciate them, capitalize them," Rager explained. "Our method is to track hours of labor spent developing these internal systems that are for the good of our customer base."

It was no easy task to track the time and effort spent on those projects. Teams wanted something that could integrate with their existing workflows in Jira. After reviewing the market, Rager and TransUnion selected Timesheets and rolled it out to 5,500 users and 500 admins and project leads. Immediately, Rager's teams noticed the advantages – eliminating the need to switch between apps and providing teams with multiple ways to log time, including directly in Jira while they work on issues.

Results

TransUnion reduced time tracking system costs from $1 million annually to just $62,000 – a 94% reduction. Even after adding $150,000 in AWS cloud storage costs for enhanced data analytics capabilities, total costs dropped by $750,000.

Timesheets fundamentally changed TransUnion's audit readiness. By connecting time entries directly to work in Jira, TransUnion can provide auditors complete traceability from capitalized hours to specific requirements, user stories, testing activities, and production releases. The accounting team has gained unprecedented visibility.

"For the first time ever, because everything's in this central system, I've got 95% of the company managing all their work in Jira," Rager said.

Scale with enterprise-grade reliability

Enterprise environments demand tools that perform under pressure. Timesheets handles large teams, complex project structures, and high-volume data processing without compromising performance.

Tempo's API enables integration with existing business systems, from ERP platforms to custom reporting tools. Mobile access ensures remote and field teams can log time regardless of location or device.

Security and compliance features meet enterprise requirements for data protection, audit trails, and regulatory reporting. Your time tracking system becomes a reliable foundation for business operations instead of a potential weak point.

Support transparency and accountability

Modern organizations need visibility into how time and resources are allocated. Timesheets provides that transparency without creating surveillance culture or micromanagement.

Team members see their own time allocation patterns and can identify areas for improvement. Project managers monitor progress against estimates and adjust plans proactively. Stakeholders access project health data without disrupting daily workflows.

This transparency builds accountability naturally. When everyone can see resource allocation and project progress, teams make better decisions about priorities and time management.

Proven success across industries

Leading organizations in technology, professional services, healthcare, and education rely on Timesheets for critical business processes. They choose Timesheets because it delivers consistent results across different team structures and project types.

Remote teams use Timesheets to maintain productivity and billing accuracy. Agile development teams track sprint progress and velocity metrics. Professional services firms improve client billing accuracy and project profitability.

The versatility comes from focusing on core time tracking needs instead of trying to solve every possible use case with a single tool. Timesheets excels at what matters most: capturing accurate time data and turning it into actionable business insights.

Address common concerns head-on

We understand that some organizations have specific requirements that go beyond basic time tracking. That's why we've built a comprehensive ecosystem of Tempo products that work together seamlessly.

For example, Tempo Capacity Planner and Financial Manager can be bundled with Timesheets in the Project Collection – unifying time, cost, and capacity data in a central location.

Tempo's modular approach lets you implement exactly the functionality your business requires without paying for unused features.

Recent improvements to the Timesheets product have addressed some user concerns.

Approval and notifications

• Tempo enables administrators to configure scheduled email reminders for timesheet submissions.​

• The timesheet approval process is tied to teams, and only users with the appropriate permissions can review, approve, or reject submitted timesheets. Reviewers and users receive email notifications about submissions, approval, or rejection.​

Our customer success team works closely with organizations during implementation to ensure optimal configuration for your specific workflows. We provide comprehensive documentation, training resources, and ongoing support to maximize your return on investment.

The pressing need for accurate time data

Organizations that make data-driven decisions outperform those that rely on estimates and assumptions. Accurate time tracking provides the foundation for those critical decisions.

Timesheets gives you that foundation with the reliability and sophistication your enterprise demands. You get the insights needed to optimize resource allocation, improve project profitability, and scale operations efficiently.

The question isn't whether you need better time tracking. The question is whether you're ready to transform how your organization manages its most valuable resource: time.
