Employee & Computer Monitoring

Employee Computer Monitoring Software That's Transparent by Default

Employee computer monitoring software records how work computers are used: the apps and websites people work in, idle time, and screenshots at intervals you set. DeskTrack shows this by team and role in real time, keeps monitoring visible to employees, and lets each person see their own data.

The Basics

What is employee computer monitoring software?

Employee computer monitoring software, also called employee monitoring software or PC monitoring software, tracks activity on company computers so managers can see how work time is spent.

DeskTrack measures productivity as time on each role's defined apps against scheduled office hours, so a developer is judged by code tools and a salesperson by CRM and calls.

Good monitoring tools do three things

Show patterns by team, not spy on individuals
Tell employees they are being monitored
Let you choose what is tracked

DeskTrack does all three.

Features

Screenshots

How does screenshot monitoring work?

DeskTrack takes screenshots at the interval you choose, so managers see work in progress without asking for updates.

  • Choose which teams have screenshots on
  • Set how often they are taken (e.g. 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, or random)
  • Decide who can view thems
  • Blur option

Privacy and Trust

Is computer monitoring an invasion of privacy?

Visible by default. Silent mode only where local law and your policy allow it.
Employees see their own data. No hidden scores.
File names, never file contents. DeskTrack reads window titles and file names. Even DLP alerts only use file names and created or modified dates, never what's inside.
Role-based access. Managers see only their own teams.
You choose what to track. Screenshots, websites and apps switch on or off per team.
Never: video recording, webcam photos, live screen streaming or reading text on screen.
Alerts you set. Get notified when focus or productivity drops.

Security

How is monitoring data protected?

  • ISO 27001 certified for information security management
  • Encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest
  • Data location: US, India, and multi-region secure cloud hosting
  • Cloud or on-premise deployment options for enterprise compliance

Reports

What do managers see in the reports?

  • Productivity by team and role, against scheduled office hours
  • Idle time and app usage trends, week by week
  • Screenshot timeline by person or team
  • Attendance with ZKTeco, eSSL and Suprema biometrics

Ask in plain language

"Which team's idle time rose most this month?"
"Who started late more than three times this week?"
