Why agencies choose Rize
Is that client profitable? You're guessing.
Time is your agency's inventory, and manual timers miscount it — Friday timesheet reminders lose 15-40% of billable hours. Rize replaces them with automatic time data your team actually trusts.
Automatic billable capture
No timers to start, nothing to remember. Rize detects client work across apps and documents, then assigns hours to the right client and project.
Real-time margins
See which clients and retainers make money while the work is happening — not after the invoice goes out.
Privacy-first tracking
No screenshots, no keystroke logging. Your team gets private personal dashboards; you get aggregated time totals.
“The biggest issue with Harvest was designers would forget to track. With Rize, that's solved.”

Agency time tracking FAQs
Rize runs in the background on each team member's computer and captures every work session automatically. AI tags time by client, project, and task, so nobody starts a timer — and nobody reconstructs a timesheet from memory on Friday.
Yes. Agencies lose 15-40% of billable hours to manual tracking, and Rize captures those hours automatically. Real-time billable vs non-billable splits and per-client margins show which retainers make money before the invoice goes out.
Yes. Rize tracks app and website usage locally without screenshots, keystroke logging, or screen recording. Managers see aggregated time totals only; employees keep private personal dashboards.
Because time is an agency's inventory — every hire, price, and resourcing call depends on knowing where it goes. Untracked non-billable work hides inside retainers and makes utilization look better than it is. Rize splits billable and non-billable time automatically, so you see true capacity before you quote the next project or make the next hire.
Accurate time data shows what a project actually costs to deliver, so you price from real margins instead of guesses. It also catches scope creep early: when a retainer's hours run past what you sold, you see it the week it happens, not at the end of the quarter. That is the difference between renegotiating a contract and eating the overage.
Under an hour. There are no timers to teach and no habits to build — Rize starts capturing work sessions as soon as it is installed. Most agencies start with a pilot team, confirm the data is accurate, then roll out to everyone.
