Our Story

Built by an IT team, for IT teams

TrackDots wasn't built in a VC-funded startup with a whiteboard and a ping pong table. It was built inside a real software agency, by a real team, to solve a real problem we were living every day.

Built in production Used daily by our own team

"We were managing our remote developers on WhatsApp, tracking attendance in Excel, and guessing who was burning out. We built TrackDots to fix our own problem. Then realised every IT company had the same problem."

How We Got Here

From internal tool to SaaS product

The honest version of our story โ€” no hype, no fundraising press releases. Just a company solving its own problems and deciding to share the solution.

2017

API DOTS founded in Zirakpur, India

Started as a software development agency serving clients in the US, UK, and Bahamas. Built real estate CRMs, e-signature platforms, and custom workflow tools for international SMEs.

2022

The remote team management problem gets serious

As the team grew and moved to hybrid work, managing productivity through WhatsApp check-ins stopped working. Attendance was manual. Burnout was invisible. We needed something better.

2023

TrackDots built for internal use

Our Head of Technology built the first version of TrackDots for our own 16-person team. Desktop app, automatic screenshots, productivity scoring, burnout detection. We replaced three tools with one.

2026

Opening TrackDots to the world

After running TrackDots internally for over a year and people asking what tool we use to manage our team โ€” we decided to make it available to other IT companies. This is that moment.

What We Believe

Our values aren't on a poster. They're in the product.

Every feature in TrackDots reflects a belief about how IT companies should manage their teams.

๐Ÿ‘

Visibility beats guesswork

Managers shouldn't have to wonder if their team is working. Real data โ€” quietly collected โ€” replaces anxiety with clarity.

๐ŸŒฑ

Burnout is preventable

The signals are always there before someone quits. We built TrackDots to surface them early โ€” before it's too late to act.

โšก

Admin should be automatic

Attendance marking, payroll prep, performance data โ€” none of this should require manual work. If a machine can do it, it should.

๐Ÿ”’

Privacy is not optional

We track work activity, not personal behavior. No keylogging. No browsing history. No data sold to anyone. Ever.

๐Ÿค

Built by practitioners

We use TrackDots every single day in our own company. Every feature we ship solves a problem we've personally experienced.

โค๏ธ

People over metrics

Data is a tool for better management, not a weapon against employees. TrackDots helps you support your team, not surveil them.

The Team

Small team. Real product. Daily users.

We're the same team that built TrackDots for ourselves. Now we're building it for you.

Mohsin Khan

Head of Technology

The person who built TrackDots from scratch. 12 years with API DOTS. Architected the desktop app, the dashboard, the burnout detection system, and everything in between.

Why IT Companies Specifically

The tools that exist weren't built for you

Hubstaff and Time Doctor were built for agencies billing clients by the hour. HRMS platforms were built for large enterprises with HR departments. Neither was built for a 10โ€“50 person IT services company managing remote developers.

TrackDots was. It understands developer workflows, IT team structures, and the specific problems that come with managing remote software engineers across time zones.

  • App usage tracking that recognises coding tools โ€” VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf
  • Burnout detection tuned for developers who work irregular hours
  • Project tracking that connects hours to client deliverables
  • ERP integration so attendance and payroll are connected automatically
