Workforce management software for IT and software companies
Engineering output is hard to measure and easy to mismanage. WorkOrbit gives IT and software organisations an objective view of working time, focus and utilisation across distributed delivery, QA and support teams, without reducing engineers to a keystroke count.
Focus time is the metric that matters
For engineers, the useful signal is uninterrupted time in development tools versus time fragmented across meetings, chat and context switching. WorkOrbit classifies application usage per team, so IDEs, terminals and design tools count as productive work while the same rules treat support tooling appropriately for support staff.
- Per-team productivity categories for engineering, QA and support
- Focus versus fragmented time across the working day
- Idle-time detection that respects thinking and meeting time policy
Delivery capacity and utilisation
Resourcing decisions in software companies usually rest on estimates. Working-hours and utilisation data give delivery managers a factual baseline for how much capacity a team really has before the next project is committed.
- Team utilisation across projects and support rotas
- Overwork detection for on-call and release periods
- Exportable hours for client billing and project accounting
Distributed engineering teams
Most software teams are distributed across locations and time zones. Because capture happens on the device and syncs when online, an engineer in another country is measured exactly like one in the head office.
