Monitor productivity through app usage, focused work hours, and project progress gaining actionable insights while protecting employee privacy, trust, and autonomy.

I've spent enough years in client services operations to know what happens when teams skip straight to buying automation tools. They automate the wrong things, or worse, they automate a broken process and just break it faster.

Every Monday morning started with a frantic reconciliation ritual that ate hours and still left blind spots.
