Automatic time tracking only works when people trust the boundary.
Half5 is built around a simple promise: the raw timeline stays personal, while the company works with submitted hours, approvals, invoice-ready data and explicit integration output.
The raw activity layer is for the person doing the work. Managers, finance and integrations work with submitted and approved hours.
Approval before business output
Recovered work becomes useful only after the user submits it and the team approves the business record.
Integrations use allowed data
Accounting, CRM, planning tools and agents receive approved output, not someone's private day.
Marketing scripts require consent
Necessary site behavior works by default. Marketing measurement loads only after consent.
Enterprise trust checklist
The rollout is clear before security review starts.
Half5 makes the rollout explainable before review starts: what data exists, who can use it, which systems receive it and how the first pilot shows value.
Data boundary
raw timeline, submitted hours, approved output
Roles
users, team leads, finance, admins and agents
Integrations
login method, allowed fields and receiving system
Rollout
pilot team, support route, price and first metric
No overselling
Trust grows when live product and roadmap are clearly separated.
Start with the product foundation that is live today. Add enterprise governance around managers, finance visibility, auditability and provisioning before the rollout grows.
Live foundation
What Half5 can prove today
The current product already covers the core revenue route: time, context, approval, invoicing, exports and accounting handoff.
Time with business context
Hours can carry customer, project, activity, user, pause, leave and desktop timeline context.
Approval to invoice
Rates, project budgets, approval states, invoice drafts, PDFs, XLSX exports and accounting sync are already part of the product base.
Controlled data routes
Organization isolation, roles, API tokens and integration settings support a controlled path from approved work to external systems.
Enterprise roadmap
What grows with larger rollouts
For bigger customers, the next layer is governance: manager permissions, financial visibility, audit trail and provisioning.
Departments and cost centers
Department managers, approval boundaries, department budgets and reporting boundaries can be added for larger rollouts.
Margin and cost visibility
Cost rates, margin snapshots, financial exports and manager dashboards are agreed before they become part of an enterprise rollout.
Enterprise operations
SSO, provisioning, audit exports, retention settings and scheduled report packs are the right roadmap items for complex organizations.
Approval without doubt
Every role sees what changes before rollout.
Users, team leads, finance and IT work from the same boundary: personal context stays personal, approved hours become revenue data.
Users
Will my workday stay mine?
The raw timeline stays personal. Suggestions become business data only after the user submits them.
Daily use without surveillance pressure.
Team leads
Can we correct before invoicing pressure?
Submitted hours, exceptions and context are reviewed before finance or integrations receive output.
A review rhythm teams can keep using.
Finance
Does recovered revenue beat the rollout cost?
Recovered hours are tied to team size, rate, customer, project and invoice-ready value.
Price and payback become clear.
IT, security and agents
Can systems use safe data only?
Integrations and agents work with approved output, roles and explicit fields instead of private timelines.
A clean data route for security review.
Team launch
The first rollout feels like an agreement, not a control measure.
A good Half5 start gives the team the words they need before the first timeline appears: why this helps revenue, what stays private, what gets approved and when the pilot is judged.
Why the pilot starts
Forgotten billable work costs revenue. Half5 helps people recover the day while the context is still fresh.
What stays personal
The raw timeline and private suggestions stay with the user until they decide to submit hours.
What the team sees
Team leads and finance see submitted hours, approvals, customers, projects and invoice-ready value.
When the decision is made
After 30 days, recovered minutes, adoption and invoice-ready value sit next to price and rollout effort.
Rollout sequence
Trust becomes real in the rollout sequence.
01
Start with one team
Half5 starts where missed hours hurt revenue and trust matters most.
02
Approved output is explicit
Accounting, CRM, reports and agents receive named fields from the approved business layer.
03
Value becomes clear
Recovered revenue sits next to subscription, onboarding and rollout effort.
Private timeline, business result
Automatic time tracking only works when people trust it.
Half5 turns real activity into suggestions the user controls. The company gets approved hours, not a surveillance feed.
Trust stays intact
The raw timeline stays personal. Teams work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice-ready output.
Billable value returns
Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.
Approval before invoicing
Managers review exceptions before finance receives clean data, so recovered hours stay explainable.
Start with clarity
Choose the place where missed work already costs revenue.
Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.
Forgotten work reappears from browser, app and file context.
Users approve or correct suggestions before sharing hours.
Finance receives approved time, not raw personal history.
