Why agency timesheets get disputed
Clients push back on invoices when hours come with nothing behind them. Manual timers produce round numbers and vague notes. Colabio tracks time against the client project with screenshots and task context, and carries reviewed hours straight into the invoice.
From tracked hour to paid invoice.
Three product decisions that make Colabio work for agencies.
Per-Client Projects
Organise work by client and project. Tracked time lands in the right bucket when the developer picks the task.
Invoices From Timesheets
Generate and preview invoices from timesheets, then adjust individual line items before sending.
Utilisation and Capacity
See tracked versus available time per member and per project to plan staffing and quotes.

The Colabio commitments
Client transparency without turning your team into a surveillance target.
1. Developers See Their Hours
Every member can see their own timesheet, screenshots, and activity. Manual time requests are approved by a lead.
2. Screenshots Stay Internal
Clients receive timesheets and invoices. Screenshots and recordings stay inside your organisation.
3. No Timer Nagging
Nobody gets reminder pings. Idle time is handled with a single dialog when the person returns.
4. Bill What Was Reviewed
Invoices are built from reviewed timesheets, with adjustments recorded per line item.
