from a closed test version to the successful fund -funded kickstarter to a startup of $ 1 million in funds, Timeular’s mission is to help people track their time and calculate time through a multi -faceted, customized device.
If you can get more data about how you spend your life, please raise your hand! Continue to read the Q \u0026 A of us, one of the founders of Timeular, Manuel Bruschi.
Timeular tracker is described as Bluetooth town paper and time tracking mold. How did it actually work?
The tracker is an eight -sided dice that allows you to follow it to track all activities and make your current activities facing up. You can connect it to your laptop or mobile phone through Bluetooth LE, and then you can select and allocate different activities as you need.
You can also use @Mentions and #tags to allocate the event to the project -for example @shop for clienta What things will be The marker is #Billaable and #non-BilLABLE BilLABLE or mention the ticket, such as #jira-123 .
If you do not have a Tracker device, you can also use our desktop or mobile application playback/ stop button.
You surpass your Kickstarter goal, and raised $ 1.1 million for further project ]. Why do you think this device can cause such great interest?
In Timeular, we adopt a very user -friendly method for time. We believe it is more valuable than money. People and companies are changing from the mentality of hard work-work to work-smart-life-better mentality, and our products are consistent with this.
\” For me, it is easy to record my time every day. I can quickly pull out a report to show that I spend on specific customers or specific tasks. How much time. \” -Ashlee B.
We try to help people achieve this goal in an interesting and simple way.
More than your own returns. All 10 minutes of calls are now captured (before they lose time).
There is no problem with the device. When I returned to the office, everything was synchronized very well. \”

— what is the \”why\” of Timeular?
We want to make more time to help people improve how to survive time. We make tracking and understanding your time useful way, which allows you to improve and make changes from there.
What is your role in Timeular?
Tell us some information about the team and your work method (you mention that you are remote!)
I am one of the founders of Timeular. We have 17 employees who work in five countries/regions. We have no headquarters, and everyone can work at the place, time and method they want -as long as it helps achieve the common goal of we reach 10,000 active users every day. This goal is of great significance to us because it shows that our products are helping many people to do more important things.
We meet each other three times a year for a week (last time in Sicily). Our basic working concept is to work 40 hours a week,Work 5 days a week, and then charge it. If you need more time to charge and get new ideas, you can use a 50 -day paid holiday.
What are the main goals of the website?
Timeular.com is our main access channel, with all software subscriptions. The first version was released within three weeks, and the latest version took three months. We have been scrolling and updating -there may be fifty versions!
Because I am a developer with basic design skills, I built it The first version, and over time, we hired free developers for changes. We have found some good people on UPWORK or through search on GitHub, and we are currently recruiting full -time joining us. We have also recently joined by a designer.
Why use woocommerce for this project?
We sell hardware and subscription services to consumers and companies around the world with a special business model. Due to all requirements, regulations and laws -and different warehouses -we know that we need some things that can be customized and very easy to run for non -developers.
In all options, we choose Woocommerce because of its flexibility, simplicity, and very active and helpful community.

Tell us more information about the purchase experience- — Which emails do you send to people?
In order to be consistent with our core values, we hope to disperse the attention of customers as little as possible, and only provide them with the information they need at the right time. We will send an order to confirm the email, and then send the delivery to update the email: at the beginning of the delivery, the time of the order, or the failure of the order.
Our transportation provider extracts orders through Woocommerce REST API and pushes the tracking number back WooCommerce Shipment Tracking. Transportation providers are responsible for allocating orders to different warehouses.
Your biggest market is the United States.
Do you stipulate the currency and language of different countries? We display the price based on the state or geographical location of people’s bills or geographical location. All countries/regions have the same freight. This store is English, as is our products.
What are you going to do next?
We still need to improve the performance of the website and prepare for the expansion -we are growing rapidly, and the loading time during the checkout period is far from what we want.
Website speed and performance have a great impact on the conversion rate, and sometimes it is difficult to identify bottlenecks (query, hooks, chains). We know that when we get more subscribers, we will need to change our hosting plan.
Do you encounter any obstacles when building a website?
How did you work around them?
When you encounter restrictions, it is easy to find a cracked method, but it is more difficult to maintain the best practice and adhere to a sustainable way to break through the limit. When we do failure, we will use Google search and the combination of ourselves. If we cannot find anything, we will seek help. We are not satisfied with the \”fastest solution\”, because quickly cracking down the cost of hidden costs.
