Plan resources, track time, and see project financials \u2014 all in one place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the last 18 years, we\u2019ve been listening to our customers. There was a common thread throughout all of our demos and conversations: project plans in one tool, time tracking in another, margin calculations in a spreadsheet. This wasn\u2019t because teams preferred it that way, but because no single tool connected all three without integration overhead or missing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we rebuilt is the solution to all of those issues: a project time tracking tool<\/a> where you can now plan projects and also manage tasks, track project margin visibility, set dependencies, allocate resources, and track time directly against those plans, all within a single platform.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n TL;DR: All of Beebole’s new features <\/div>\n \n
\n

After 18 years, we rebuilt Beebole from the ground up \u2014 unifying everything in one platform. Here’s what to expect in the new tool:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Timesheets<\/strong>: Period-based submission, percentage-of-day logging, timesheet scoring, auto-submit, and admin edit permissions<\/li>\n
  • Approvals:<\/strong>\u00a0Multi-stage chains with quorum settings; approve\/reject directly from email<\/li>\n
  • Resource planning:<\/strong>\u00a0Integrated Gantt & Kanban views, task dependencies, and planned hours that flow straight into timesheets<\/li>\n
  • Project financials: <\/strong>Real-time budget status with planned vs. actual visibility<\/li>\n
  • Structure & tagging: <\/strong>Unlimited project hierarchies and custom tags for flexible reporting<\/li>\n
  • Expenses & absence:<\/strong>\u00a0Expense tracking against project budgets, plus auto-fetched public holidays globally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

    Rebuilt from the ground up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The decision to rebuild Beebole from the ground up wasn’t taken lightly. Throughout the years, we made small changes and grew with our clients, but the feedback from project managers, finance teams, and operations leads told us the same story: the old version couldn\u2019t connect resource plans to timesheets without a manual handoff or configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, we rebuilt the entire platform. Not only will you see a new, modern interface, but the underlying architecture has also been reimagined. Beebole combines time tracking, project financials, absence management, expense tracking, and reporting in a single platform \u2014 all without the integration overhead of stitching separate tools together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What’s new in Beebole<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve reimagined the entire tool. Here’s a full breakdown by area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What this means if you’re already a Beebole customer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Your data isn’t going anywhere<\/strong>, and we\u2019ve built the new version to move forward with everything you\u2019ve already configured, including projects, people, and workflows. The new version of Beebole is a completely separate tool, and accounts on both platforms can exist simultaneously. <\/strong>Therefore, we encourage you to create an account so that you can start playing with the new features and envision how it can be structured to your organization\u2019s needs. Once you\u2019re ready to migrate your data, get in touch with our support team so they can provide the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    See it for yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ve been in the project time tracking business for 18 years, and we\u2019ve seen firsthand that businesses need a flexible time tracking and resource planning tool that could adapt to their exact needs. The result is the first version of Beebole where resource planning and financial tracking run in the same system<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether you’re evaluating Beebole for the first time or you’ve been a customer for years, we’d love to show you what’s new.
