Streamlined Time-Tracking With AI

The Challenge

The client’s existing time-tracking tool was inefficient and difficult to update. It lacked needed technology to enable it to better serve the company’s needs. It also:

• Required multiple sign-ins, interrupting productivity.
• Didn’t support adoption. Contractors often forgot to log hours, requiring manual reminders.
• Involved too much time for payroll, creating downstream inefficiencies.

The client needed a system that could streamline workflows, improve accuracy, and reduce administrative overhead for both employees and finance teams. They also needed a platform that could be easily updated, and therefore built using modern technology.

The Solution

Acklen Avenue used agentic coding to build Chronos, a customized time-tracking platform.
By leveraging agentic AI, our developers created a modern system that could be easily updated, to adapt to a client’s changing needs. The AI-powered approach also allowed for:

• Live prototyping during meetings.
• Instant user assumption validation.
• Faster adjustments, without back-and-forth.

This meant a production-ready tool delivered in a fraction of the usual time, without sacrificing quality, scalability, or security.

Chronos provides contractors a seamless experience while giving administrators a single hub for time tracking, payroll prep, and future invoicing capabilities. Automated reminders further reduce the need for manual follow-up.

The Results

Not only did Acklen Avenue deliver in 2 X the usual speed, Chronos quickly proved its impact:

• 100% of contractors immediately logged time—without admin reminders.
• Compliance improved by 60% overall.
• Internal teams saved 8 hours of weekly manual work.
• Payroll and revenue tasks accelerated by 40%, with fewer bottlenecks.

The biggest value goes beyond numbers: Chronos gave contractors flexibility, finance teams clarity, and leadership a scalable foundation for future staff augmentation management.
