Time tracking is one of the most important activities for modern businesses. Whether you manage billable client work, internal projects, overtime, or departmental costs, accurate time tracking directly impacts revenue, profitability, and productivity. However, many organizations still rely on raw timesheets or scattered spreadsheets. As a result, tracking billable hours, overtime, costs, and margins becomes confusing and inefficient.
That is exactly why the Time Tracking Dashboard in Google Sheets becomes a powerful and business-critical solution.
This ready-to-use dashboard converts raw time tracking data into meaningful insights. It helps organizations monitor revenue, costs, margins, billable hours, and overtime across departments, managers, roles, clients, and projects—all from one centralized Google Sheets dashboard.
Because the dashboard is built entirely in Google Sheets, it is cloud-based, collaborative, and extremely easy to use. You simply update the data input sheet, and the entire dashboard refreshes automatically—no complex setup or technical skills required.
