Contact center finance manager reviewing labor cost and billing reports

You Cannot Control Costs You Cannot See

When time data is unreliable, every financial decision — from client billing to staffing levels — is based on incomplete information.

What finance managers struggle with

  • Labor costs calculated from scheduled hours, not actual hours worked
  • Billable hours under-reported because agents forget to log client time
  • Client invoices disputed because there is no proof of work behind the numbers
  • Overtime costs discovered after payroll runs — too late to manage
  • No per-client or per-project profitability data to inform pricing decisions
  • Payroll processing delayed by incomplete or inaccurate timesheets

How HiveDesk solves it

  • Actual hours tracked automatically — labor cost calculations based on real data
  • Every billable minute captured by client, project, and agent
  • Screenshot reports provide verifiable proof of work for client billing
  • Overtime flagged in real time so you can intervene before costs escalate
  • Per-client and per-project time reports enable profitability analysis
  • Timesheets auto-generated, approved, and exported for payroll in minutes

Billable Hours & Client Billing

Bill every hour you earned, with data to back it up

Set up projects for each client account. As agents work, HiveDesk tracks time against the correct client automatically. At billing time, pull per-client timesheets showing hours by agent and task. Attach screenshot reports as proof of work. No more under-billing because hours were not logged.

  • Track billable hours by client, project, and agent automatically
  • Separate billable from non-billable time for utilization analysis
  • Per-client timesheets ready for invoicing — export as PDF or Excel
  • Screenshot reports serve as verifiable proof of work
  • Eliminate revenue leakage from untracked billable hours

Labor Cost & Overtime Control

See labor costs in real time, not after the damage is done

HiveDesk tracks actual hours worked per agent, per day, per week. Overtime is flagged as it accumulates — not after the pay period closes. You can pull reports showing total hours by team, department, or location to identify where labor costs are concentrated and where staffing adjustments would reduce spend.

  • Actual hours worked — not scheduled hours — for accurate cost calculations
  • Overtime flagged in real time before costs escalate
  • Hours reports by team, department, or location for cost analysis
  • Compare labor hours across pay periods to identify trends
  • Timesheet approval prevents payroll errors before they happen
