Keito connects recorded hours, the hours you actually bill, and the time written off — so realization rate is a number you can see and defend, not one finance reconstructs at month end.

realization rate needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Record billable time by client, project, task, and person so the billing source of truth is created during delivery, not reconstructed at month end.
Approve entries, expenses, and budget movement in one place so managers can catch missing context before finance creates the invoice.
Use the same tracked data for invoices, client summaries, margin reviews, and internal capacity conversations.
Realization visibility
Realization rate is the share of recorded time that actually turns into billed revenue, and it is one of the most under-measured numbers in professional services. Most firms only discover their realization gap after the fact: hours were logged, then trimmed before invoicing, then trimmed again when the client pushed back, and the difference disappears into a spreadsheet nobody owns. Keito makes realization a live measurement built from the same records used for billing. As teams log time against clients and projects, Keito tracks recorded hours, the hours marked billable, and the hours written off during review — so the realization rate by client, project, and person is visible before the invoice goes out. Engagement leads can see which clients consistently erode realization, which scopes are routinely over-serviced, and where a review conversation would protect margin, rather than learning all of it from a quarterly finance report.
Measure realization rate (billed hours divided by recorded hours) from reviewed billing records, not estimates
See realization by client, project, and person before invoices are finalised
Spot where write-offs and over-servicing erode margin early enough to act on them
Workflow fit
Keito keeps realization rate connected to client, project, billable status, approval, and invoice context before the work reaches finance.

Keito keeps time, expenses, approvals, and client context together so the invoice is backed by the same record your team used to deliver the work.
Invite the people who capture, review, and explain client work without turning each new contractor or reviewer into another per-seat charge.
Spot budget drift, missed entries, and low-margin work before the month closes and the client conversation becomes harder.
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
Realization from billing records
Keito keeps realization rate tied to clients, projects, billable status, approvals, and billing summaries in one workspace.
Typical setups capture time in one tool and rebuild the billing explanation later from exports, comments, or spreadsheet cleanup.
Review before invoicing
Managers review entries before they become invoice evidence, so missing context is fixed internally rather than during a client dispute.
Raw timer exports usually reach finance before delivery leads have confirmed whether the work is billable, complete, or client-ready.
Predictable team pricing
Flat-rate plans let delivery staff, reviewers, contractors, and finance users participate without per-seat pricing friction.
Per-seat time trackers make teams choose between clean billing participation and controlling tool spend.
The best way to manage realization rate is to capture work at source, attach it to the right client and project, review it before invoicing, and use the reviewed record as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow so time, approvals, and invoice context stay connected.
Yes. Keito helps with realization rate by tracking work by client, project, task, person, billable status, and review state, then turning approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes the data useful for billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
Keito is different because it treats time as billing evidence, not just duration. A generic timer records how long something took; Keito records who did the work, where it belongs, whether it was reviewed, and how it should appear in client billing context.
Turn realization rate into invoice-ready evidence by reviewing every entry for client, project, billable status, approval state, and billing notes before finance creates the invoice. Keito keeps those checks in the same workflow so the client summary is backed by reviewed work, not a late spreadsheet cleanup.
A client-ready realization rate report should include the client, project, task, contributor, billable status, approval state, and a concise explanation of the work completed. Keito keeps those details connected so reports can answer client questions without exposing internal delivery noise.
