Time Tracking for Consultants: Nureti vs. Toggl

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

Nureti fundamentally re-architects time tracking for consultant workflows, shifting away from legacy systems focused on employee management toward a model prioritizing accurate billing, project profitability, and EU compliance—critical factors often overlooked by alternatives. This isn't merely about clocking in and out; it's about demonstrating value and maintaining meticulous records.

Addressing Consultant-Specific Needs

Traditional time tracking often falls short for consultants. Systems designed for salaried employees frequently lack the flexibility required for project-based billing, accurate expense tracking linked to specific tasks, and the ability to seamlessly generate invoices directly from tracked time. Nureti, however, is purpose-built for this model. Our approach includes quick registration, stopwatch functionality, and one-click attendance options which facilitate detailed task and project time allocation. The ability to create an invoice from registration streamlines the billing process and minimizes administrative overhead. Consult our time tracking quick-start guide for an overview of getting started.

EU Compliance and Detailed Reporting

For consultants operating within the EU, compliance with the Working Time Directive is paramount. Nureti isn’t just a time tracker; it’s a compliance tool. We provide granular reporting capabilities to monitor rest periods, working hours, and overall compliance, mitigating legal and financial risks. The EU Working Time Directive compliance feature reduces the potential for costly audits and ensures peace of mind. Our advanced reporting, accessible via the statistics widget dashboard along with the ability to export reports in CSV, provides deep insight into project profitability and identifies areas for efficiency improvements. These features set us apart from generic solutions that often lack this depth. The flexibility of our system lets you work with a calendar or stopwatch for registration, as explained in calendar vs stopwatch time tracking.

Beyond Basic Timekeeping

Nureti’s architecture allows for granular user management, including administrator, super user, and normal user roles, alongside the ability to assign team managers and implement registration approvals. The user management page details these options. Furthermore, we offer unlimited projects and tasks, ensuring scalability as your business grows, and the option for light and dark mode for comfortable use. As a dedicated solution for independent contractors, our reporting empowers you to showcase your value and optimize your workflow, as described in freelancer time tracking reports.
