Timesheet software for research and development teams
R&D teams juggle multiple projects, shifting priorities, and budgets that can't afford surprises.
My Hours gives R&D teams a clear, real-time view of hours spent per project, budget consumed, and where resources are going — so managers can make decisions before problems escalate.
Why R&D Departments Should Track Time
Tracking time is vital for R&D teams for several reasons:
- Obtaining the R&D tax credit
- Optimizing existing resources
- Better planning for future funding and resource needs
- Gaining control over expenditure and costsss
- Ensuring accurate billing
- Demonstrating responsible fund usage
"It's the main reporting and project tracking tool for our company.
Having 20+ active clients and 100+ active projects I would be impossible to track the hours of our team members without this tool.
It's easy, intuitive, responsive and answers all our needs. The My Hours team has great customer service, it's fast and efficient."
- Alex E. | CEO, Research

"Great time tracking tool from My Hours.
Easy to set up and navigate. Ability to set up projects and tasks. Good reporting capability even with the free version."
- Ruth S. | Recruiter & Researcher
R&D Billing
My Hours supports multiple billing structures, allowing departments to choose the most appropriate model for each project or funding agreement.
2. Task-based rate allows you to tailor rates at the task level
4. Non-reimbursable work is marked as non-billable
"Essential in my time-keeping!
The ability to edit/personalise the different levels of information (project and task) is really helpful, because we work on so many projects for different clients, with tasks that are similar across projects."
- Skye M. | Senior Consultant, Research
Cost and Budget Control
Clear budget tracking ensures there is funding left over for other essential aspects of R&D. Plus, it increases stakeholder confidence that their investment is being responsibly handled.
"Good process to manage the internal project under development by the engineers."
- Anonymous User | R&D Manager
Keep Stakeholders Informed
Stakeholders often view R&D as costly with uncertain returns, so they expect clear reports that justify spending and show efficient resource use.
