Alternative to Tempo Timekeeping, Comparative Review for Jira time tracking.

[#1]

Tempo timekeeping is a proven time tracking app that provides users with customised reports and productivity insights.  It has extensive functionality and a sleek UI. It has its own ecosystem within JIRA. But what if you need to keep all worklogs your users do within JIRA itself and not on Tempo’s Database.  Or if you are looking for an alternative solution at a better price, but still covering all main functionalities that Tempo Timesheet has? 

Our team has released Timescale to make all of the above possible.

At first glance, the applications are quite similar, and users will usually look at a more reputable player on the market, ignoring other applications. Yeah, it’s not always easy to spot the advantages of new players, but it can be worth it. So, let’s look at why it’s important to dig deeper.

Why Timescale is worth your attention

There are several reasons why you should consider Timescale:

• All your time entries remain in your JIRA instance and are accessible by defought JIRA API

• The app provides more robust Approval mechanism like having multiple Approvers and a super Approver

• All non work activities like Sick, Vacations, Plannings, Trips and so on are tracked as independent from jira issues

• Timescale's long term goal is to include Cost Tracking and Work Planning within the existing app without asking you to pay for extra apps. Initial Budget management is already set upped in the app

In conclusion
