Utilize your team’s full capacity and forecast future needs.
Hubstaff’s utilization rate shows how effectively teams use their available hours: (Tracked Time ÷ Available Time) × 100. Use it to monitor workload, identify inefficiencies, and maintain teams at a healthy, sustainable pace (75–80%).
Stay on top of meeting overload to optimize workflows.
Find the perfect balance between meetings and focused work with Hubstaff’s desktop, mobile, or Chrome extension. Meeting and Focus Time data helps you spot meeting overload, optimize workflows, and keep projects moving forward with greater clarity and balance.
Use integrated workflows for smart project management.
Effective capacity planning is about assigning the right people to the right tasks at the right time. Hubstaff integrates with tools like Jira and Asana to help you manage performance across projects, making it easier to effectively plan and monitor workloads.

Gain visibility into how work time is spent with work time classifications for core, non-core, or unproductive. Tweak settings based on industry or job type to spot inefficiencies, optimize workloads, and keep projects on time and under budget.
Tie time to cost for smarter project planning.
Track work time expenditure with intuitive time tracking and expense management features. Manage time spent on projects and tasks, see real-time activity rates (without keystroke logging), and create timesheets with ease. With detailed reports on productivity, budgets, and expenses, you can make smarter decisions, control project costs, and improve work patterns.

Get full visibility into staffing schedules.
Employee scheduling helps you plan shifts based on actual availability and workload needs. Create shifts, set reminders, and optimize schedules to align with demand. You can also set recurring shifts on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis with predictive scheduling.
Track attendance for better shift management.
Hubstaff’s attendance tracking capability gives you real-time visibility into attendance so you plan shifts with confidence.

You can also set reminders for late, missed, or abandoned shifts to make scheduling adjustments on the fly for smarter capacity planning.
