Everhour’s Basecamp time tracker benefits
Here is a bit more details on how Everhour integrates with Basecamp
and what advantages it will give you
Time and estimate along tasks
With Everhour, you can easily track time in any task within Basecamp. You will see the timer and reported time next to the task title as well as the total time by each section (list) and the entire project.
Time in task details
In the task details, you’ll see the reported time by each employee and its progress towards the original estimate. You can track time using timer or log time manually at any time.
Budget near project title
With the help of Everhour, any project in Basecamp can have a budget set in hours or money. You can even set up an advance notification.
Mark any task as “non-billable”
Everhour lets you configure any project or employee as billable or not, but also to automatically exclude certain tasks time from the billable amount calculation.
