Track billable client hours in Keito while your enterprise runs on Workday.
Workday manages HR, payroll, and financials. Keito manages the billable client hours, project billing, and invoice approval that enterprise delivery teams need alongside it.
Workday handles enterprise HR and finance. Keito handles the billable hour tracking that sits between delivery and invoicing.
Keep delivery context attached to time
Group work by client, project, issue, branch, or repository reference so time reports explain what changed, not just who was online.
Review engineering work before billing
Use approvals and project summaries to catch unassigned work, non-billable research, and time that needs a clearer client note.
Report the work in client language
Export clean summaries that connect delivery activity to project budgets, retainers, and invoices without exposing internal noise.

Enterprise billing alongside Workday
Add client billing precision to your Workday-managed delivery workflow
Enterprise professional services teams in Workday environments often discover that Workday handles HR, payroll, and financial management well but does not provide the granular billable hour tracking that client billing requires. Delivery teams log time in Workday for payroll purposes but lack the client engagement structure, billing approval workflow, and invoice-ready summaries that the billing team needs. Keito provides the dedicated billing layer: delivery teams log client hours with engagement and project context in Keito, partners review and approve billing records, and client invoices are prepared from structured, reviewed data — while Workday continues to manage HR and financial operations.

What Keito adds to workday time tracking
Developer-friendly time context
Keito is designed for technical teams that need billing records to reflect real delivery work without pushing every developer into finance tooling. The Keito CLI, GitHub Action, and Agent Skill log time from the terminal, CI jobs, pull requests, and AI coding sessions directly.

Client-ready exports
Billing and project reporting in one flow

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
Client billing records
Keito provides a purpose-built billing workspace for client hours, engagement tracking, and approval workflows that Workday HCM does not include.
Workday time tracking is designed for HR and payroll — it does not provide the engagement-level billing structure that client invoicing requires.
Pre-invoice approval
Partners and billing managers review all client time entries in Keito before invoices are prepared, catching gaps before they reach the client.
Without a dedicated billing approval layer, consulting teams rely on engagement managers to catch billing errors manually at month end.
Billing team access
Flat-rate pricing includes delivery staff, engagement managers, and billing reviewers in the Keito billing workflow without per-seat cost escalation.
Per-seat billing tools add cost as more delivery team members and reviewers need access to the billing workflow in large enterprise teams.
Keito provides the client billing layer that complements Workday HCM and financial management. The current workflow is parallel: Keito manages engagement-level time tracking and billing approval, Workday manages HR, payroll, and financial operations. Billing summaries from Keito feed into the invoice preparation process. A native Workday API integration is on the roadmap.
Why do professional services teams in Workday organisations use Keito?
Workday is an enterprise HCM and financial platform designed for HR processes, payroll, and general ledger operations. Professional services teams find that Workday time tracking covers payroll needs but lacks the engagement-level billing structure, pre-invoice approval workflow, and client-ready billing summaries that client invoicing requires. Keito fills that gap.
How do consulting teams use Keito alongside Workday?
Delivery teams log client hours in Keito against the engagement and project structure that matches their billing scope. At the end of each billing period, engagement managers review and approve all billable time in Keito, export the billing summary, and use it as the basis for client invoices — while continuing to use Workday for HR, payroll, and financial reporting.
Can Keito replace Workday time tracking for billing purposes?
Keito is designed to complement Workday rather than replace it. Workday handles payroll time and financial operations; Keito handles client billing precision. Teams continue to use Workday for HR and payroll, and use Keito as the billing layer for client engagements — keeping both systems doing what they are designed for.
