Track Project Hours, Costs, and Progress — All in One Place

No. HiveDesk is time tracking and workforce management software with project organization features. It lets you create projects, assign tasks, track hours and costs, and monitor progress — but it is not a full project management suite with Gantt charts, dependencies, or complex workflows. If you need advanced project management, use Asana and connect it to HiveDesk for time tracking.

HiveDesk integrates directly with Asana. You can sync your Asana projects and tasks into HiveDesk, then employees track time against those tasks using the HiveDesk desktop, mobile, or browser app. Tracked time data flows back into HiveDesk for timesheets, cost tracking, and invoicing — giving your Asana projects the time and budget data they otherwise lack.

For each project, HiveDesk tracks total hours worked, hours by task and by employee, labor costs based on hourly rates you set, task completion status, and project timelines. You can compare actual hours and costs against estimates to see whether projects are on budget.

You set an hourly cost rate for each team member. As employees track time on project tasks, HiveDesk calculates labor costs automatically. The project timesheet shows costs broken down by project, task, and employee — so you can see exactly where budget is being spent and take action before overruns happen.

Yes. HiveDesk provides a real-time dashboard that shows which team members are working, what tasks they are on, and how much time has been logged. The project timeline view shows task schedules and completion status at a glance.

HiveDesk offers Kanban board, list, and calendar views for tasks. You can switch between views depending on how you prefer to manage work. Each view shows task assignments, deadlines, and status.

Yes. Employees can be assigned to multiple projects and switch between them. Each time entry is associated with a specific project and task, so hours and costs are allocated correctly across all active projects.

HiveDesk tracks billable hours by project and client. When it is time to invoice, select the client and billing period, and HiveDesk generates invoice line items from approved timesheets. You can also share screenshot reports as proof of work alongside your invoices.

That depends on your needs. If you need basic project and task organization with built-in time tracking, cost monitoring, and workforce management, HiveDesk may be sufficient. If you need advanced project management features like dependencies, custom fields, automations, and portfolio management, keep Asana and use HiveDesk alongside it for time and cost tracking.

HiveDesk costs $5 per user per month — one plan with every feature included. Project tracking, time tracking, timesheets, scheduling, invoicing, screenshots, and reporting are all part of the same plan. There is a free 14-day trial with no credit card required.
