IT SERVICES & CONSULTING
Billable truth, collected daily, not reconstructed monthly.
Long-running AMC pods and short delivery orders run on the same loop: someone chases updates, someone validates hours, someone finds out late that a client dependency slipped. Efforti is that layer, automated.
The PM as time clock
Manual time entry, reminders assembled by hand, coordination chased across 24-48-hour email turnarounds.
Friday-memory timesheets
Sheets filled from recollection at week's end; validation happens at review, when it's too late to be accurate.
Client blockers, discovered late
Waiting-on-client and waiting-on-vendor items live in inboxes until a deadline exposes them.
The fix
Your sheet's fields, as a three-minute conversation.
Recreate the timesheet's exact fields as an agent in about two minutes: project, task, hours, notes. People reply daily while the work is fresh; answers are validated against each person's 90-day history; records export in your format and stay queryable forever. Client blockers get an owner, an age and an attribution (on the team, on a peer team, or on the client) and surface in one cross-project view.

Two weeks, one pod, zero integration.
Measure chasing hours before and after, then decide with numbers.
