Appfire Launches 7pace Timetracker Integration to Enhance Jira Functionality

Appfire Expands Jira Capabilities with 7pace Timetracker Launch

In a significant move to boost productivity for various departments, Appfire has announced the launch of its much-anticipated 7pace Timetracker for Jira. Available now on the Atlassian Marketplace, this new integration provides teams with a sophisticated time-tracking solution designed for those who have outgrown traditional tracking methods, or need more than what Jira’s native tracking offers.

Acquired by Appfire in 2022, 7pace Timetracker has already established itself as a top choice on platforms like Azure DevOps and was recognized recently as a best-selling application in the monday.com marketplace for 2024. By bringing this tool to Jira, Appfire demonstrates its commitment to adapting its offerings in response to customer needs and trends across various business environments.

Zoltan Szalas, VP of Product and Growth at Appfire, highlights the broader role of Jira beyond software development, stating, "Jira is no longer meant only for software teams. It's becoming a home for marketers, HR, and other departments." This sentiment underscores the necessity for a time-tracking solution that is user-friendly, accurate, and seamlessly integrates into existing workflows.

The 7pace Timetracker offers an intuitive way to track time, allowing users to log their hours in seconds, centralize their time data, and generate comprehensive reports. It supports advanced functionality such as tracking billable hours and key project milestones, providing managers and teams with the insights needed to streamline their operations effectively.

Key Features of 7pace Timetracker:

1. Deep Integration with Jira: This feature ensures that time tracking is an inherent part of the user experience, making it feel native to Jira. All time tracking data synchronizes perfectly, allowing users to manage their time without disrupting their workflow.
2. Centralized Time Data: Teams can access, add, and edit time from a singular location. This not only helps in improving efficiency but also provides managers with real-time insights to help refine performance management.
3. User-Friendly Interface: Without the burden of a complicated learning curve, 7pace Timetracker’s interface is designed with everyday users in mind, featuring flexible options such as weekly and monthly views.
4. Beyond Simple Time Tracking: Users can track more than just hours. The tool supports custom fields which allow for tracking of billable hours, time categories, and specific activities, making it adaptable to diverse organizational needs.
5. Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Unlike Jira’s native offering, 7pace Timetracker provides sophisticated reporting features that help managers analyze time allocation and monitor key performance trends from a central dashboard.

Szalas emphasizes, “We’re dedicated to simplifying time tracking for teams and managers alike. Our solution integrates effortlessly into platforms that teams are already familiar with, making it quick and uncomplicated to track time, ultimately boosting productivity. This kind of integration not only streamlines the process but also empowers managers with accurate, real-time data to create a more productive environment without the stress of end-of-week check-ins.”

The company plans to roll out ongoing updates and enhancements throughout the year, further evolving 7pace Timetracker to cater to the complex demands of enterprise organizations. Soon, it will also have an integration with Appfire's BigPicture, providing additional insights into resource allocation for diligent project management.

Appfire continues to set a high standard in the software industry by boosting the value of well-known platforms such as Atlassian, Microsoft, monday.com, and Salesforce. With over a million users benefiting from Appfire's innovative solutions, including Enterprise Collaboration and DevOps, the introduction of 7pace Timetracker for Jira represents a vital step forward in improving business productivity across sectors.
