Staff monitoring for South African firms

Your whole firm's working day, on one screen.

Wachadoin runs quietly on each work computer. See who is working, who has stepped away, and when time goes to the wrong sites, with hours set against each person's contract. Screenshots only while someone is at the desk, deleted after 7 days.

Wachadoin shows us the time we spend on each client, without anyone filling in a timesheet. For the first time we can see what a client really costs us in hours and compare it to what we bill. That has changed how we price our work.
Leandri BlackPartner, Acute Accountants
Our team isn’t all in one office, and Wachadoin gives us one clear view of the working day, including how much time goes to each client. Now we know which clients take up the most of our time, and we can plan and charge for that.
Berrie StoopGeneral Manager, Boerfin
As auditors, we live by evidence. Wachadoin records how many hours each client takes, so we can see what an engagement really costs us in time compared to our fee. Screenshots are only taken while someone is at their desk, and the POPIA guidance built into the setup gave us confidence that we were doing it properly.

What it does

Everything a partner needs, without anyone filling in a timesheet

Live status, at a glance

See who is working, idle, offline or on a flagged app right now, refreshed every 15 seconds. Each person's hours sit next to what they are contracted for, Monday to Friday, so weekends never count as missing time.

Rules that fit your business

Mark your own software as work, and social media, job boards or unrelated sites as red flags. Starts with a list you can change.

Screenshots, on your terms

Taken every 10 minutes while someone is at the desk, filterable by date and employee, deleted after 7 days. Each flagged visit links to its screenshots.

Day, week or month

A timeline of active and idle time, tracked-hours totals and trends for any date range.

Built for larger firms too

Managers see their own team. Partners and directors see every manager and employee across the firm.

Effortless onboarding

Add someone and they get an email invite. They confirm their consent, download the Agent and are set up in minutes.

Timesheets and client time

See what every client really costs you in time

Wachadoin drafts each person’s timesheet from the work they actually did, so nobody has to rebuild their day from memory at five o’clock. Add up those hours per client and you can see which clients take more of your firm’s time than their fee covers.

Timesheets that draft themselves

Each day becomes lines of time by client and kind of job, built from the window, file, web page or email in front of each person.

Honest about what it can’t match

Time goes to a client only when the work names them. Time it can’t place is kept aside as unallocated, not guessed onto a client.

Time per client, for any period

This week, last week, this month or last month. Each client’s hours break down by person and by kind of job.

Price your work on real numbers

Put each client’s hours next to what you bill them. You’ll spot the clients that cost more time than they pay for, and you can quote the next engagement with confidence.

How it works

Running in three steps. No IT department required.

1

Add your team

Add each employee with their name and email. Each one is emailed an invite to their own Wachadoin page.

2

Consent, then install

On their page they read what is recorded and tick the consent box. Then they run a one-time installer on their Windows or Mac computer and paste in their personal key.

3

Watch it work

The Agent starts with the computer from then on. No daily logins, no extra steps.

ZAR prices are indicative, rounded for billing simplicity — not a live daily conversion. Annual billing is prepaid for the year at a 10% discount off the monthly rate. Your free trial runs for 7 days from signup. Cancelling doesn't produce a pro-rata refund — access continues to the end of your current paid term (the full month if you're on monthly, the full year if you're on annual) before it ends.

Privacy-law aware from the ground up

Monitoring staff computers counts as processing personal information under most data-privacy laws — South Africa's POPIA, the EU/UK GDPR, and similar laws elsewhere. The dashboard walks managers and partners through the notice-and-consent steps before monitoring starts for anyone, and every account gets a plain-language reminder of what's required.
