Many organizations maintain separate systems for time tracking and billing.
The project management tool has built-in time tracking for measuring team productivity and project progress. But the billing system—often a different platform entirely—generates invoices for clients and handles financial reporting.
Time logged in one system does not appear in the other. Developers must log their hours twice: once in the project tool against specific tasks, then again in the billing system with client codes and billing categories.
The data should be identical, but the entry is duplicated. This creates multiple problems.
First, the time cost of double entry—every hour logged takes twice as long to record. Second, the inconsistency risk—what if the hours do not match?
Discrepancies between the tracking and billing systems require investigation. Which system is correct?
Third, the reconciliation overhead—someone must regularly compare the two systems to ensure they align, catching errors before they become billing disputes. This reconciliation work is pure administrative overhead.
For agencies and consultancies billing by the hour, this is a significant pain. Every billable hour must be tracked for project management AND entered for invoicing.
The two systems run in parallel, never syncing, always requiring manual alignment. GitScrum integrates time tracking directly with project management.
Time logged against tasks is immediately available for reporting, analysis, and export to billing systems. No double entry.
No reconciliation dance. One source of truth for time data.
The GitScrum Advantage
One unified platform to eliminate context switching and recover productive hours.
