Is automatic time tracking the most accurate way to track time on consulting projects?

For most consulting firms, yes. Automatic time tracking is generally more accurate than manual timesheets because it captures work as it happens instead of relying on memory.

How do you guarantee privacy?

Memtime is the only automatic consultant time tracker that stores captured activities on user device only. All automatic activity data is kept offline and can be erased from your device at once. With Memtime, you never have to compromise the safety of your own or your clients’ data.

How does Memtime track emails?

Memtime automatically captures the subject line and recipients of each email to help you distinguish between different client matters and assign project hours accurately. You can even create time entry suggestion rules for emails, e.g. every time a client name is detected, you’ll receive a suggestion to quickly log this time on a specific project.

How does Memtime save me 30 min a day?

We say 30 minutes because that’s how long it takes on average to manually track time on tasks, come up with descriptions, and complete timesheets. Memtime automatically records your day in the background and speeds up the process of project time tracking so you can minimize non-billable admin tasks.

How can Memtime improve the profitability of my consulting firm?

Profitability is about making the best use of your time as a consultant, i.e. maximizing billable hours and minimizing non-billable admin. Memtime helps you do both by automating a manual process of time tracking and ensuring the accuracy of data across your team.

Time tracking software for consultants, finally automated

Consultant time tracking can be private and fully automated. For decades, consultants had to adapt their work to time tracking software by starting timers, filling in timesheets, or reconstructing their day.

Automatic time tracking reverses this by capturing work as it happens, allowing consultants to focus on clients instead of tracking time. All captured activity data stays on your computer until you choose to export it.

Consulting time tracking, reimagined

Consulting work rarely happens in long, uninterrupted blocks. A typical day includes meetings, emails, research, document reviews, presentations, and conversations across multiple apps. Because work is spread across many short activities, reconstructing a day from memory often leads to missed billable time. Memtime automatically captures these activities throughout the day, helping you remember every detail and claim every billable minute.

Save 30 min daily

Starting and stopping timers, coming up with descriptions, and entering hours into your billing software can eat up a good chunk of your already busy day. On average, manual time tracking costs a consultant 0.5 days of non-billable time every month. By putting time tracking on autopilot, you minimize admin and can focus on delivering value.

What a time saver!

Memtime allows you to effortlessly compare estimated vs actual projects hours to learn which of your services and clients are worth the fee.

Why accurate project time data matters for consultants

Accurate project profitability depends on accurate time data. When project hours are estimated instead of measured, it's difficult to understand which services, clients, and pricing models generate the healthiest margins. Memtime automatically records actual project hours, making profitability decisions based on data instead of assumptions.

Automatically times your activities

Accurate utilization

The accuracy of utilization is determined by the accuracy of time tracking data. Meanwhile, manual time tracking gives you 36-67% accuracy, not to mention the frustration and distractions it causes. Automatic time tracking data is 95% accurate, which means you’ll finally have reliable utilization rates.

Protects the privacy of your data

Minimum benchtime

Overstaffing and poor resource allocation is the #1 cause of low utilization and fluctuating profit margins for many consulting firms. In order to improve planning and minimize benchtime, you need ongoing insights into how time is being allocated at your consulting firm. Then you can make decisions backed by data.

Streamlines your current workflow

Improve profitability

Ultimately, the success of any consulting firm is determined by how good it is at selling skilled labor, i.e. work-hours. Automatic time tracking data is the single best source of truth on realistic project hours, the real costs of delivering results, and underlying profitability.
