Kimai for Self Hosted Time Tracking

Kimai is a powerful and flexible time tracking solution that can help your business manage time and resources more effectively. Whether you're a small business owner or managing a large team, Kimai has the tools you need to keep track of your customers, projects, activities and time.

One of the standout features of Kimai is its flexibility. You can customize the application to fit your specific needs. From configuring timesheet settings to adding custom fields, Kimai allows you to tailor the platform to your business requirements. For example, if you run a digital marketing agency, you can create projects for each client campaign, track the time spent on different activities like content creation, SEO, and social media management, and generate reports to analyze the efficiency and profitability of each campaign.

Kimai also offers powerful reporting features. Go to the 'Reports' section. Here, you can generate detailed reports based on your time entries. Select the date range, projects, activities, and users you want to include in the report. You can then view it on screen or export it as a PDF or Excel file for further analysis. All time entries can be exported to CSV, Excel or PDF. It's also easy to generate PDF invoices based on the time entries in Kimai.

Happy time tracking!
