CORE MONITORING CAPABILITIES
BrowseReporter meticulously records a wide range of computer activities, providing a complete and auditable trail.
Detailed Internet Activity
Capture the specific URLs of every page visited, the time the visit occurred, and distinguish between active time (when the user is actively engaging with the page) and idle time (when the page is open in the background).
Comprehensive Application Usage:
Track every application launched on a user’s computer. You can see who is using which programs, for how long, and when. This is crucial for software license management and ensuring employees are using approved tools.
Login/Logout and Session Tracking
Audit logon and logoff times to verify work hours, especially for remote employees. See when users start and end their day, and track periods of inactivity to understand work patterns.
Privacy-Focused Location Insights
Uniquely, CurrentWare’s Location Tracking doesn’t use intrusive GPS. Instead, it intelligently uses IP addresses and default gateway MAC addresses to automatically classify work time as “Office,” “Remote,” or “Hybrid.” This provides valuable data on where work is being done and how location impacts productivity trends, all while respecting employee privacy.
Bandwidth Consumption Monitoring
Identify which users, computers, and websites are consuming the most network bandwidth.This helps pinpoint network hogs who may be streaming high definition video or engaging in other non-productive, high-bandwidth activities.
POWERFUL REPORTING & ANALYTICS
To provide deeper context that raw data logs might miss, BrowseReporter includes powerful visual monitoring tools.

Workforce Analytics Dashboards:
provide a real-time snapshot of productivity trends, app usage, and user activity across your entire workforce for instant insights and decision-making.
Software Asset Management:
Reduce software wastage by consolidating unused or redundant tools through real-world usage insights into costly platforms
Cybersecurity & Compliance:
Storing company data on unsanctioned cloud services puts sensitive information at significant risk of data leakage.
Automated & Scheduled Reporting:
Automate report generation and delivery to managers on your chosen schedule for seamless, consistent oversight without extra admin work.
To provide deeper context that raw data logs might miss, BrowseReporter includes powerful visual monitoring tools.
Sites Visited/Web Categories
A chronological log or summary of all websites visited, which can be categorized (e.g., Social Media, News, Adult) to quickly classify Browse habits.
Application Usage Reports
See exactly how much time is spent on specific applications like Microsoft Excel vs. a non-work game. This data is invaluable for software audits, helping you identify and eliminate ‘shelfware’, software you pay for but nobody uses.
Productivity Reports
Compare time spent on sites and apps you’ve designated as “Productive,” “Unproductive,” or “Neutral.” This allows you to create a customized productivity score for individuals or teams.
Bandwidth Usage by URL
Drill down to see the exact websites responsible for spikes in bandwidth consumption.
VISUAL EVIDENCE AND CONTEXT
To provide deeper context that raw data logs might miss, BrowseReporter includes powerful visual monitoring tools.
Intelligent Screenshot Capture:
Instead of constant, invasive recording, you can set smart triggers for screenshots. For example, a screenshot can be captured when a user visits a specific high-risk website, launches a blocked application, or searches for a sensitive keyword. This provides targeted, contextual evidence for HR or security investigations.
Real-Time Screen Viewing:
For situations requiring immediate oversight, managers with appropriate permissions can view an employee’s screen in real-time to observe activity as it happens.
By combining detailed activity logs with powerful analytics and visual proof, BrowseReporter delivers unparalleled visibility. It empowers businesses not just to see what employees are doing, but to understand their work patterns, address distractions, optimize software spend, and build a more productive and secure work environment.
