Track hours against your statement of work — and invoice from what was actually delivered.
Keito connects time records to SOW scope so delivery leads can see budget consumption, scope movement, and billing evidence before the billing period closes.
statement of work needs more than a timer. The billing record has to keep client, project, approval, and invoice context together before the work reaches finance.
Capture the work while it is fresh
Record billable time by client, project, task, and person so the billing source of truth is created during delivery, not reconstructed at month end.
Review before anything reaches the client
Approve entries, expenses, and budget movement in one place so managers can catch missing context before finance creates the invoice.
Turn approved time into billing evidence
Use the same tracked data for invoices, client summaries, margin reviews, and internal capacity conversations.

SOW billing workflow
Keep every billable hour inside the statement of work scope
A statement of work defines what the client is paying for. When delivery teams cannot easily see how accumulated hours map to the agreed scope, they risk billing for work outside the SOW, missing changes that should be billed as scope additions, or discovering at month end that the engagement has consumed more hours than the client signed off on. Keito gives delivery leads the connection between the SOW and the time record: hours are logged against client and project context that mirrors the statement of work structure, scope consumption is visible before billing closes, and the approval step lets managers confirm whether time is within scope or needs a change order conversation before the invoice is sent.

Compare the workflow
The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.
AreaKeitoTypical setup
SOW scope delivery visibility
Keito keeps statement of work 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.
Use a workspace where time is captured against the right client and project, reviewed before invoicing, and exported as billing evidence. Keito is built around that workflow, so statement of work is not separated from the approval and invoice context it needs.
Can Keito help with statement of work?
Yes. Keito tracks work by client, project, person, billable status, and review state, then turns approved records into client-ready summaries. That makes it useful when statement of work needs to support billing, profitability, and client reporting rather than just attendance.
How is this different from a generic timer?
A generic timer records duration. Keito records billable context: who did the work, which client and project it belongs to, whether it has been reviewed, and how it should appear in billing evidence.
