Your team already lives in Zoho CRM. So why is time tracking happening in a spreadsheet, a separate app, or worse — from memory at the end of the week? Time Tracker for Zoho CRM puts a one-click timer on every Deal, Lead, Contact and Account, and turns those minutes into clean, billable reports.
The problem with tracking time outside your CRM
Every services team knows the story. Consultants jump between client calls, configuration work, and internal syncs all day. By Friday, nobody remembers exactly how long the Acme onboarding took — so hours get rounded, under-billed, or quietly written off. The data that should drive your invoices ends up scattered across sticky notes and calendars.
The root cause is simple: the time is spent on CRM records, but it's being logged somewhere else. Every context switch is a chance to forget, mistype, or skip it entirely.
Meet Time Tracker for Zoho CRM
Time Tracker is a native Zoho CRM extension. It adds a lightweight time-tracking panel directly to your Deals, Leads, Contacts and Accounts — no external logins, no data leaving your CRM. Start a timer when work begins, pause it for interruptions, and stop it when you're done. Every entry is tied to the right record, the right person, and the right billable rate automatically.
What makes it different
One-click timer
Start, pause, resume and stop — right on the record. No switching apps, no manual math.
Org users & contractors
Log time for full CRM users and external contractors who don’t have a login.
Task categoriess
Tag each entry with a task (Discovery, Development, Training…) for cleaner reporting.
Manual entries too
Forgot to start the timer? Add time after the fact with a duration and date.
Per-person rates
Each person carries their own hourly rate — snapshotted per entry so past billing never changes.
Billable vs non-billable
Mark internal work as non-billable so your invoices only reflect what clients owe.
How it works — from click to invoice
Open any Deal, Lead, Contact or Account
The Time Tracker panel is right there on the record. Pick who the time is logged for and, optionally, the task you're working on.
Hit Start — and just work
The timer runs live. Step away for a call? Pause it. Back at it? Resume. A person can only have one timer running at a time, so hours never double-count.
Stop and confirm
When you finish, stop the timer and confirm the entry. The billable amount is calculated instantly from the person's rate and the elapsed time.
See it all in Reports
Every entry rolls up into the Reports tab — totals, charts, and a breakdown by person, task, and record. Filter by date range and billable status, then export.
Reports that answer the questions you actually ask
The Reports tab turns raw time entries into the numbers that matter: total hours, total billable value, and how they break down across your team and your deals. Filter to a date range, a specific person, a module, or just billable time — the tiles, charts and tables all update together, and you can export the result for invoicing or payroll.
Your data stays in your CRM
Time Tracker runs entirely inside Zoho CRM as the signed-in user. Your time records live in your own CRM modules — nothing is shipped off to a third-party server to be tracked or resold. The only information that ever leaves your org is a simple install/uninstall notification (the installer's name and email), so we can support you. That's it.
Perfect for teams that bill by the hour
- Agencies & consultancies — track project hours against the exact Deal and invoice with confidence.
- Professional services — separate billable client work from internal overhead in one click.
- Freelancers & small teams — give every contractor their own rate without buying extra seats.
- Support & implementation teams — see where time really goes across accounts and tasks.
