Challenges
“At 3angleTech, our objective is to make the most of the time we spend on each project, and to make sure our customers know how they are spending their money,” said Ionut-Cristian Paraschiv, co-founder of 3angleTech.
That simple objective was harder than it sounds. When the team works on projects, they don’t just code, they also communicate with clients, create project roadmaps, and do code review and testing. Sometimes they take breaks. Tracking the real work being done on client projects was challenging, and they weren’t using their time as efficiently as they could be.
When working on complex, lengthy projects with many team members, “the ‘simple’ task of tracking the work done by everyone, and ensuring that the billing accurately reflected the reality of the work done, involved a lot of micromanagement, sterile discussions, unnecessary stress, and human error—which we would prefer to avoid,” Paraschiv said.
The team needed a solution that would help them better understand where their time was going, so that they could accurately budget for time needed at all stages of client projects and bill clients accurately for the work that was done.
Solution
“Toggl Track makes it easy to track our work. From a web browser to mobile apps on our smartphones or tablets, we can see exactly how much time we spend doing real work and how many of our working hours are not optimally used,” Paraschiv said.
The team now uses data tracked in Toggl Track to better organize their work, keep project teams focused, and reduce time-wasting activities, thereby decreasing micromanagement and increasing productivity.
They also include Toggl Track data in their customer billing reports. Sharing visual information from Toggl Track’s reports dashboard about the duration and cost of all project tasks and requested features allows clients to quickly see the cost of their ideas.

With Toggl Track, managers can now quickly see an overview of their team’s work, billing is accurate, and the team has more time for useful work that delivers value to their customers.
