Manual billable hours tracking across fragmented tools

Creative agencies and consulting firms struggle to accurately capture billable hours when project work spans multiple apps (Slack, email, Google Docs, Figma). Time tracking tools either require constant manual entry or integrate poorly with non-tech workflows, causing revenue leakage and client billing disputes.
