A smart way to track your working hours

Begin an expat working in the Netherlands, doing my administration was complicated enough. Dutch invoices, business expenses, tax rules and client administration all require attention. Your time registration should not add even more work to your day.

That is exactly what UurKlus aims to solve.

Time tracking without the administration

UurKlus is a Dutch platform designed for freelancers and small businesses that want to keep their administration simple.

One of its most useful features is its approach to time tracking. Instead of constantly opening projects, selecting clients and manually entering start and end times, UurKlus offers quicker ways to register your work.

And the best part: booking and tracking your hours with UurKlus is completely free.

Book your hours using your voice

One of the most impressive features in UurKlus is the ability to register working hours using voice commands.

Instead of manually filling in several fields, you can simply tell UurKlus what you have done.

For example:

“Book two hours for project Content writing”

UurKlus can use this information to help register the time for the relevant project and client.

For freelancers who regularly switch between customers and projects, this can make a surprisingly big difference. Recording your hours becomes something you can do in seconds rather than something you postpone until Friday afternoon.

It is particularly useful when you are working on the move, visiting clients or simply do not want to interrupt your workflow to fill in an administration screen.

Start the stopwatch and focus on your work

Sometimes you do not know in advance how long a task will take.

That is where the UurKlus stopwatch comes in.

Select the project you are working on, start the stopwatch and continue with your work. When you are finished, stop the timer and your working time can be registered immediately.

This works well for activities such as:

• consultancy
• design and development work
• meetings
• customer support
• administration
• maintenance and technical work
• marketing and content creation

Instead of estimating afterwards whether a task took 45 minutes or an hour and a half, you have an accurate record.

Especially useful for freelancers and expats

Many expats in the Netherlands start working as a freelancer or ZZP'er. Suddenly, you are not only responsible for doing your actual work, but also for running the administrative side of your business.

Good time registration can help you understand where your working day goes and how much time you actually spend on different clients and projects.

If you charge customers by the hour, accurate time registration is even more important. Having a clear overview of your hours makes invoicing easier and reduces the chance of forgetting billable work.

UurKlus keeps this process deliberately simple.

You can quickly see how many hours you have worked and keep your projects and clients organised without having to use complicated business software.

From working hours to invoices

Time registration becomes even more valuable when it is connected to the rest of your administration.

UurKlus is not just a stopwatch. The platform is designed around the daily workflow of freelancers and small businesses, including projects, customers, invoices and business administration.

That means the hours you register are not sitting in a separate time-tracking application. They can become part of the same workflow you use to manage your business.

For someone running a small company, having fewer separate systems can save a considerable amount of time.

Less administration, more time for your business

Business software does not have to be complicated.

The most useful tools are often the ones that quietly remove small administrative tasks from your working day.

Voice-controlled hour registration is a good example. Starting a stopwatch instead of writing down your working time is another.

Individually these may seem like small improvements, but when you are registering hours every day, they quickly add up.

And because hour registration with UurKlus is completely free, freelancers can start using it without committing to another expensive monthly software subscription.
