Efficient project management involves ensuring everyone in the team completes smaller tasks timely. While engineering teams follow the Agile methodology to keep track of development and testing, tracking the daily productivity of all the employees is a daunting task.

While there are many project management tools to track the start and end dates of the tasks (only when the employees update the status), they do not track productivity.

Easy download-and-go productivity tracking tools like DeskSight can help you monitor productivity with features like:

• Comparing work patterns of the top performers to streamline workflows and boost productivity
• Identifying the most and least productive teams within the organization
• Automatically recording active screen time of employees
• Providing complete visibility on productive working hours of all the teams across the organization
• Measuring engagement time of every employee over a specific period
• Analyzing total and daily average work time of employees

Distraction is the third most common problem of remote working. While working from home has its benefits, employees tend to get distracted by non-work activities. With no manager around, checking social media for 10 minutes extend to an hour, or a break to reply to personal emails leads to browsing shopping sites.

With DeskSight.ai, you can address this concern by tracking web and app usage to:

• Monitor employee activity with a detailed log of website visits and application usage for every user
• Record the title of the active window/document/app with the duration of being active
• Record screen activities of employees with screenshots at regular intervals
• Detect categories of new website and apps in minutes with a machine learning-driven website crawler
• Monitor the intent of the employees by tracking web searches across all browsers
• Facilitate employees to take a break for non-official browsing/work by setting ‘private time’ mode, which would temporarily disable surveillance

While work from home has its benefits, it takes away the advantages of human connection. An informal discussion over coffee breaks, face-to-face conversations, or catching up with colleagues is necessary for humans to build trust. In a remote working scenario, it is challenging to build trust among team members and achieve transparency to ensure optimal collaboration. Organizations have options to access various communication tools like chats, emails, video conferencing, and file sharing apps to ensure remote communication and collaboration.

Remote working has no mechanism to track attendance, making it difficult for the human resource (HR) department to track if the employees were present, ensure their working hours, and process payroll and other incentives.

DeskSight.ai enables organizations to verify attendance by:

• Tracking employee work time via their computer activity
• Tracking employee’s first log-in and last log-out
• Detecting deviation in scheduled working hours by monitoring early/late log-in/log-out

Many employees use their unprotected devices for remote working, which are unencrypted and have no antivirus installed. They access risky webpages, which can compromise enterprise as well as personal data on the system.

With DeskSight.ai, you can monitor access to web pages, apps, and activities. The tool can monitor activities even when the endpoint is offline to sync data with the server when available.

Moreover, it lets users create customized alerts by defining limits for an app and web usage, log-in/log-outs, active and idle hours, behavioral usage, etc.

Organizations spend huge amounts of money on purchasing software licenses for employees, a bulk of which lies unutilized.

With DeskSight.AI, you can track the usage of apps and software to get insight on the usage of proprietary software and decide on the renewal of expensive licenses. The tool helps you to:

Classify productive and unproductive applications
Cut down licensing cost with usage-based software license optimization
