More Than a Call Center Time Clock

If someone clocks in 7 minutes late or leaves 12 minutes early, you'll see it. Over time, you'll spot which shifts run late most and where to tighten your schedule.

See What Happens Between Calls

If agents are spending 18% of their call time navigating between 4 different tabs: CRM, knowledge base, chat, browser, you can see that. Then fix it. Whether the problem is tool overload, a slow CRM, or agents using non-work sites during calls, you'll know.

How does Apploye help call centers?

Can Apploye track remote call center agents?

Yes. Apploye is useful for remote, hybrid, and offshore call center teams. Managers can review tracked hours, active time, idle time, screenshots, apps, URLs, and timesheets without needing agents to work from the same office.

How do you track time for remote or offshore call center agents?

Remote call center agent tracking works best with a desktop app that runs automatically in the background. Apploye installs on Windows, Mac, and mobile devices and tracks time, activity, and app usage without requiring agents to manually log their hours. Managers get a real-time dashboard showing all agents — regardless of time zone or location.

Is Apploye suitable for offshore call center teams?

Yes. Apploye is suitable for offshore, remote, and multi-shift teams that need visibility into work hours, activity, timesheets, and payroll across different locations.

Managers can review billable and non-billable time, verify tracked hours with timesheets and activity reports, and export clean summaries for client reporting. This helps reduce billing confusion and gives clients a clearer view of where paid time was spent.

How does Apploye help reduce shrinkage?

Apploye can help managers spot time-related shrinkage signals such as idle time, missing hours, late starts, early stops, long breaks, or non-work activity during paid hours.

What is schedule adherence in a call center, and how do you track it?

Schedule adherence measures how closely agents follow their assigned shift schedule including start times, break lengths, and end times. The industry benchmark is 85–90%. Apploye tracks adherence automatically by timestamping every login, break, and logout, then comparing actual times against the scheduled shift. Managers get daily adherence reports per agent.

How many hours should a call center agent work?

Most call center agents work standard 8-hour shifts, five days a week (40 hours). For 24/7 operations, rotating shifts are common typically 8-hour shifts across three rotations. Overtime is subject to local labor law and usually kicks in above 40 hours per week or 8 hours per day, depending on jurisdiction.

How does time tracking reduce call center payroll costs?

Time tracking reduces call center payroll costs by replacing manual (and often inaccurate) timesheets with verified, automated records. Apploye prevents buddy punching, flags unauthorized overtime, and captures idle time separately from active work time so you pay for hours actually worked, not hours claimed. Many call centers find 5–15% payroll savings within the first 90 days.

How much does call center time tracking software cost?

Pricing depends on the tool and feature depth. Apploye starts at $4.50/user/month, making it a practical option for call centers and BPO teams that need time tracking, activity visibility, screenshots, reports, and payroll-ready timesheets without enterprise-level costs.

Is employee monitoring legal in call centers?

Employee monitoring is legal in most countries when employees are informed that monitoring is in place. Most jurisdictions require either notice in the employment contract or explicit consent. Apploye is GDPR-compliant and includes features like user-visible tracking status, so agents always know when the system is running. We recommend documenting your monitoring policy in your employee handbook and consulting local labor law guidelines.

Does Apploye integrate with my CRM or helpdesk tool?

Apploye integrates with Zoho, Trello, and Asana today, with more added regularly. Check our integrations page for more details.

Does Apploye replace your call center platform?

No. Apploye tracks the workday around your call operations: attendance, tracked hours, idle time, screenshots, apps, URLs, projects, tasks, timesheets, payroll, and client billing. And your call center platform still handles calls, recordings, QA, IVR, tickets, and customer interactions.
