Software Engineering

Hello Product Hunt! I'm Phil, the creator and co-founder of Chronoscope. As a software engineer, a recurring pain point I faced no matter the company I worked for is filling up time sheets. When done manually, it is very error prone, usually done late resulting in inaccurate data. Now, as the founder of a growing company, it is clear that knowing how much time is invested in various initiatives is key to making informed decisions, managing budget properly and maximizing tax credit. We have been using Chronoscope internally for over a year now, as well as over 1k users since our soft launch a few months ago and the feedback so far is excellent. ⚡ How Chronoscope Works Chronoscope ingests data from the tools you use everyday, like project management tools (Jira, Asana, Azure DevOps, …), calendars (Google Calendar, Outlook), communication tools (Slack, Teams), and generates a timesheet everyday for every user. In no way Chronoscope monitors processes on your computer. You have nothing to install locally and no start/stop timers to think about. 🧠 Automatic Categorization The key is to remove the burden of logging time from users. Chronoscope ingests data from tools you are already using in your day to day. At the end of your work day, you receive a pre-filled time distribution of your day on Slack/Teams so you can quickly review and confirm. You can configure keywords to leverage auto-categorization. The more you use it, the system will recommend new keywords to improve results. This is greatly appreciated by our existing users! 👓 Insights As a manager, you can see the distribution of effort of your team across initiatives, identify gap and remediate quickly. This enables you to be proactive instead of reactive. As a developer, you get similar insights, but on your data, which can help you visually understand where you spend your time and doing what (meetings vs code vs support vs …) 💸 R&D tax credits With properly categorized data, you can maximize your R&D tax credits and back your claims with concrete R&D evidence, unlocking a greater R&D investment in your business. We have been working with R&D experts to build the product, so the generated data is audit proof. 🤓 The team Chronoscope would not exist without our incredible team at Chrono. Eng and Product people will be available to discuss with you during the launch, so feel free to drop comments and feedback. We are launching on Product Hunt because we want feedback and insights from the community, which for us is very valuable and highly considered in our product development process. Happy Tuesday!
