Staff time tracking for Australian businesses
NxtGen Tracking records time, activity levels and screenshots from your team's computers, then turns them into a clear dashboard and ready-made timesheets. We set it up for you.
Your whole team in one place. Office, estimating, dispatch and site staff, each with one button.

The dashboard
Who is working, how the week is going and who might need a hand. Open it on any computer, tablet or phone.
Features
No spreadsheets to chase and no guessing. One dashboard shows who worked, when, and on what.
Open the dashboard and you know straight away who is on the clock, which app they are in and how the week is tracking against normal hours.
A screenshot is taken at a random moment in each interval you set, and every one carries its activity level. Quiet patches and busy patches are easy to spot.
Click any staff member to see their day in ten minute blocks: when they started, when they took a break, which apps they used and how active each block was.
Hours for the week are added up for every staff member, Monday to Sunday, in your time zone. Export them in one click when it is time to run payroll.
The desktop app
Your team gets a small Windows app with your business name and logo on it. They clock in when they start and clock out when they finish. Everything else happens by itself.
If someone steps away, the app asks whether to keep or remove that time when they come back.
Time is saved on the computer and sent when the connection returns. Nothing is lost.
New versions install in the background, so everyone always has the latest improvements.
Built in
Real work days are messy. NxtGen Tracking deals with the awkward cases so your numbers stay right.
After a few minutes with no keyboard or mouse use, the app flags the time as idle. If nobody answers for an hour, it clocks them out at the moment they left.
When a computer is locked, asleep or shut down, the person is clocked out, so only real work time is counted.
The dashboard and the app carry your business name and logo, so it feels like your own system.
Owners and managers see the team. Staff only see their own time.
See how the day was split between programs like Excel, Outlook and Chrome.
Your own time zone including daylight saving, weeks that start on Monday, and dates written the Australian way.
How it works
Tell us your business name and who is on the team. We create your private dashboard with your logo and staff logins.
Each person downloads the Windows app from your dashboard, signs in and clocks in. It takes about two minutes.
Hours, activity and screenshots appear on your dashboard as the day goes on. Timesheets are ready at the end of the week.
Staff privacy
Tracking works best when everyone knows what is recorded. Staff clock in and out themselves, and no time, activity or screenshots are recorded while they are clocked out.
Workplace monitoring rules differ between states and territories. In New South Wales and the ACT, for example, employers must give staff written notice before monitoring starts. Ask us and we will talk you through introducing tracking to your team. This is general information, not legal advice.

The staff app runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. The dashboard works in any modern browser on a computer, tablet or phone. If your team uses Macs, tell us when you get in touch and we will let you know where that is up to.
Yes. Staff clock in and out themselves, and the app shows clearly when they are clocked in. You can also turn on a small notice each time a screenshot is taken. No time, activity or screenshots are recorded while they are clocked out.
No. It counts how many key presses and mouse clicks happen so it can work out an activity level. It never records which keys were pressed, so passwords and messages are never captured.
You choose the interval, and the app picks a random moment inside each one. You can blur screenshots, set how long they are kept, delete individual ones, or turn screenshots off completely and just track time and activity.
The app keeps tracking and saves everything on the computer. When the connection comes back it sends it all to your dashboard. If the computer crashes, the person is clocked out at the last saved moment.
After a few minutes without keyboard or mouse use, the app marks the time as idle. When the person returns they choose to keep it, for example after a phone call, or remove it. You decide how many minutes counts as idle.
Yes. Each business gets its own private workspace with its own database. Connections are encrypted, passwords are stored hashed, and only the people you give a login to can see your team's data.
Send us your details and we will be in touch within one business day. Once your workspace is ready, each staff member needs about two minutes to install the app and sign in.
No. You can pay month to month and stop when you like, or choose a year of access at a lower rate.
Tell us about your team and we will have you set up within days, not weeks.
