Time-Tracking Polygonal Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Timeular ZEI Helps Client Service Workers Track Their Hours

— September 15, 2016 — Tech
One of the most frustrating parts of working in a field that requires multiple different clients is keeping track of how much time has been spent on each of them, and the Timeular ZEI cube is a tool that makes that task as simple as turning an hourglass. Far from analog, though, the Timeular ZEI keeps accurate timesheet data for up to six clients or tasks through an intuitive digital interface.

The Timeular ZEI is a multi-sided polygon, and each side of the device can be configured to represent a different client or task (e.g. Acme Inc. or "brainstorming"). Its surface is like a whiteboard, allowing consumers to label each side with erasable markers. By flipping the polygon to a different side, it will begin to track that task, eliminating the need to constantly open and amend spreadsheets.
