Capacity planning, time tracking, and webhooks. Without the consultant-software smell.
Engineering teams at agencies and consultancies need a time tracker that doesn't feel like enterprise PSA software. Tempough is built keyboard-first, has a real API, ships webhook events for everything lifecycle, and exports cleanly to whatever finance is using. Forecasts plug into capacity planning so you can see whether the next sprint is actually staffed.
Invoice created, timesheet submitted, approval granted, expense report filed, change order added, budget threshold crossed — all fire HMAC-signed webhooks. Wire Tempough to Slack, Linear, GitHub, your internal tooling, or a data lake without polling.
Read-only and read-write tokens, scoped per integration. Build a Slack bot that posts the team's utilization on Monday morning, sync forecast assignments to your project management tool, pull time entries into a custom report. The docs are short.
Schedule engineers onto upcoming sprints with drag-to-create assignments. Time-off requests deduct capacity. The forecast-vs-actual report at the end of a sprint shows where the estimate was wrong — useful for the retro.
Tempough enforces nothing. Time the team logs is the time you bill or report. If you want loose tracking (one entry per day, project-level), the timer supports it. If you want tight tracking (timer-driven, per-ticket), it supports that too.
Time entries and invoices export as QuickBooks-formatted CSV. Or use the generic CSV pipeline with your own column mapping to feed Xero, Gusto, a custom warehouse, whatever finance lives in.
Open the timer with a keystroke. Switch projects with a keystroke. Submit your week with a keystroke. The whole UI is built on shortcuts because the alternative is asking engineers to take their hands off the keyboard.
Not the full feature list — the ones that map directly onto how engineering teams actually work.
JSON, paginated, OAuth-style bearer tokens with per-token scopes.
Outbound events for every entity lifecycle. Replay endpoint for missed deliveries.
Sprint-shaped assignment workflow. Time-off, holidays, and PTO baked in.
Plus generic CSV exports with custom column mapping for Xero/Gusto/warehouse.
Build reports across time, expenses, invoices with filters + groupings. Save as templates.
Bundle granular keys (view team time, manage projects, etc.) and assign to roles. Editable.
Team Pro is the right fit because engineering teams typically want the webhooks + API surface, branded invoices for client-facing work, and the team-groupings concept for splitting engineering / design / PM in reports. API + webhooks technically unlock at Partnership ($12/mo, 2 seats), so a tiny team can try that path first.
