Ever felt like your helpdesk tickets are disappearing into a black hole of ‘I’ll get to it later’? Tracking time manually is about as fun as a root canal, isn’t it? Well, fret no more! HelpDesk Time Tracker is here to drag your support team kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Think of it as a digital whip, but instead of pain, it dishes out sweet, sweet efficiency.

Born from the noble loins of the original creation of the Awesome Support Team. HelpDesk Time Tracker is not just another plugin; it’s your sanity-saving sidekick. Built to seamlessly integrate with your existing helpdesk setup, it lets you monitor how long your agents are actually spending on tickets. No more guesstimates or ’rounding up’ those coffee breaks. This is pure, unadulterated data, baby!

For all you devs, agencies, and open-source aficionados, this is your chance to shine. Customize it, tweak it, make it your own! After all, what’s the point of open source if you can’t bend it to your will? Get ready to dive deep into the code, optimize your team’s workflow, and finally answer the age-old question: ‘Where does all the time go?’ Prepare to become the productivity guru you always knew you could be. Time to unlock ultimate efficiency, one tracked minute at a time!

Unleash the Power of Precise Helpdesk Time Tracking

Tired of guessing where all the hours in your helpdesk go? Prepare to be amazed. Our time tracker isn’t just a fancy stopwatch. It’s your new best friend for pinpointing exactly how long agents spend battling each ticket beast.

Imagine this: instead of vague estimates, you’ll have cold, hard data. It reveals who is truly productive and who’s perhaps spending a bit too much time perfecting their ticket summaries. This accurate data lets you craft invoices that actually reflect the work done. Finally!

But wait, there’s more! Use time data for in-depth performance analysis. Discover bottlenecks. See where improvements can be made. Realize who needs extra training. Suddenly, resource allocation becomes less of a chaotic free-for-all and more of a strategic masterstroke. For example, see that a particular problem is consistently taking longer than expected. That data alone can drive improvements and free up time for everyone. Prepare for enlightenment (and maybe a few shocking revelations)!

Dive Deep into Detailed Time Tracking Reports

Reporting! Finally, something beyond just watching the clock tick. Our reports let you dissect agent activity like a frog in biology class… except hopefully less messy.

You can conjure up agent-specific reports, detailing who’s been working (or at least claiming to be) on which tickets. There are also ticket-specific reports, revealing how much time that particularly thorny issue consumed. And, of course, overall time reports, because big-picture stuff matters too, supposedly.

Metrics abound: total time tracked (prepare to be shocked), average time per ticket (benchmark against acceptable levels of dawdling), and time-to-bill (ka-ching!). These reports highlight those pesky bottlenecks – like that one agent who always seems to be ‘researching’ instead of resolving. Spot performance dips, identify workflow hiccups, and start optimizing. If you’re not careful, you might actually become efficient.

Customize Your Time Tracking Experience

Want your time tracking just so? Well, we’ve got options. This plugin lets you tailor the experience. First, there’s rounding. Because who really worked exactly 37 minutes? Round up, round down, round to the nearest… five seconds? Okay, that last one is probably excessive. But hey, the option’s there. Next, setting billable rates. Charge different rates for different agents or even different tickets. If you need that kind of control, we provide it. Exporting to CSV is another key feature. Throw your data into a spreadsheet and massage it to your heart’s content. Analyze trends, generate invoices, or just stare at the numbers. It’s your data. Do what you want. Some users get very granular with their setups. Different rates for different types of customers? Sure, knock yourself out. Rate based on ticket urgency? We won’t judge. Okay, maybe a little. The point is, this time tracker bends to your will. So, track your time, track it precisely, and get paid what you’re worth. Or, you know, at least track it.

Seamlessly Integrated with Your Helpdesk

Forget complicated setups. Integrating time tracking with your helpdesk should be smooth, not a system-wide overhaul. Our system works with your existing setup, not against it. You won’t need to rewrite your entire workflow or hire a team of consultants.

The interface is designed for support agents. It’s so intuitive, it’s practically agent-proof. We’ve focused on usability, so agents can focus on resolving issues, not wrestling with a time tracker. Minimal training is required. If you can click a button, you can track your time. Seriously.

Adding time tracking shouldn’t feel like brain surgery. Everything should integrate seamlessly and enhance your helpdesk’s performance. Enjoy the simplicity and improved data insights, without the headache. After all, shouldn’t your software work for you for a change?

Open Source: Tweak, Customize, and Conquer

Being open source means freedom. Freedom to mold this time tracker to your specific helpdesk needs. We know you developers. You see a perfectly functioning system and immediately think, “How can I improve this?” Go for it!

Download the code. Rip it apart. Put it back together in a way that only you understand. The possibilities are endless. Need a specific integration we haven’t thought of? Build it! Want to change the entire look and feel? Knock yourself out!

Open source provides unmatched flexibility and extensibility. Plus, you gain access to a vibrant community. A community of people as obsessed with tweaking things as you are. Share your improvements! Contribute back to the project and help make it even better. Or don’t. It’s your code now. We won’t judge… much.

Remember Awesome Support Team can help you. They know a thing or two about that original code base.
