Moving Beyond Trello & Toggl: Time Tracking with Nureti

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

If you’re feeling limited by your current time tracking system, you're not alone. Many teams and individuals find that tools like Trello and Toggl, while initially appealing, eventually fall short when it comes to detailed reporting, EU compliance, or simply ease of use. Let's move beyond the basics and set up a better system – one centered around Nureti. Here's a checklist to get started.

1. Defining Your Time Tracking Needs

Before jumping into any software, clarify what you need to track. Are you primarily concerned with project profitability? Do you need to demonstrate EU Working Time Directive compliance? Or are you a freelancer juggling multiple clients and invoicing?

• Project vs. Task Tracking: Will you track time at the project level or break it down into smaller tasks? Nureti offers unlimited projects and tasks, providing granular detail and better budgeting accuracy. See how this works in practice with our guide to project time tracking https://nureti.com/blog/project-time-tracking-budget-schedule/.
• EU Compliance: If you operate within the EU, accurately recording working hours isn’t just good practice – it’s a legal requirement. Nureti has built-in features to help you monitor compliance with the EU Working Time Directive https://nureti.com/eu-working-time-directive/.
• Registration Types: Nureti provides multiple registration types, including stopwatch, quick registration, and one-click attendance, meaning you can choose the one that best fits your workflow. You can even register from a calendar view https://nureti.com/blog/simpel-tidsregistrering-kalender/.

2. Setting Up Nureti for Success

Now, let's translate those needs into a Nureti setup.

• User Roles & Permissions: Nureti’s flexible user management allows for granular control. Assign roles – Administrator, Super User, or Normal User – and utilize Groups with roles. Need to assign team managers or require registration approvals? You’re covered. This structured approach helps maintain data accuracy and accountability.
• Customize Registration: Configure Nureti to reflect your company’s specific processes. Set default project rates, define billable/non-billable activities, and create custom registration forms.
• Reporting & Dashboards: Nureti’s advanced reporting features go beyond simple time summaries. Generate custom reports, analyze profitability, and export data in CSV format for deeper analysis. The Statistics widget dashboard provides a quick overview of key metrics. See how quickly you can generate these reports https://nureti.com/blog/quick-time-tracking-reports-dashboard/.
• Mobile Accessibility: Nureti is accessible via desktop and mobile web apps, allowing your team to register time on the go.

3. Beyond Basic Time Tracking: Advanced Features
