Q&A
How does SDL Watchtower help manage remote teams?
SDL Watchtower gives managers full visibility into how their remote teams spend their time. With automatic time tracking, project tagging, and real-time screenshots, team leads can monitor productivity without micromanaging. The built-in dashboards provide transparent, actionable insights into work patterns, task allocation, and billable hours—building trust while keeping teams accountable.
Is employee privacy protected while using SDL Watchtower?
Yes. While Watchtower captures periodic screenshots during tracked sessions, users always know when they’re being tracked. The personal dashboard allows employees to review their own logs, hours, and screenshots. This transparency promotes trust between employers and employees and ensures accountability without invasive oversight.
What sets SDL Watchtower apart from other time tracking tools?
SDL Watchtower goes beyond basic time logging. It combines ease of use (like Google SSO login and simple start/stop functionality) with powerful analytics and financial reporting. For managers, it offers multi-level dashboards to track performance, project hours, and payments. And soon, our AI-powered screenshot scanning will provide even deeper insights into productivity, code quality, and task focus—setting a new standard in smart time tracking.
