Teams running on Allstacks

Paddy Sreenivasan

Sr Director of Engineering

Allstacks made it easy to generate the capitalization reports we need, with a straightforward setup that integrates directly with our existing Jira workflows. We’ve saved countless hours and avoided the frustration of manually tracking developer time. It’s also given us greater confidence in the accuracy and consistency of our reporting.

Hannah (Haustein) Loggins

Accounting Manager

There's now a huge ripple effect of productivity on our team. Our developers are able to spend more time doing what they enjoy, creating and enhancing our products and less time doing the manual work of providing time sheets.

Lukas Vrbecky

Distinguished Program Manager

We don’t need to go in and review data in detail with managers anymore, because it’s already in the system.

Frequently asked questions

How does Allstacks classify software work without timesheets?

Allstacks reads commits and work items directly from your connected SDLC tools and applies your capitalization rules automatically to every activity. No engineer input is required.

Is the methodology accepted by auditors?

The classification methodology is Big 4-accepted and in use at publicly traded companies. Every report includes a complete evidence trail from summary line to individual work item, formatted for your finance team and auditors.

What SDLC tools does Allstacks connect to?

Thirty-plus tools across the SDLC: Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Linear, Bitbucket, CI/CD pipelines, and more. Connections auto-refresh on a continuous basis with no manual sync required.

How does AI-assisted development affect capitalization?

AI coding tools break the timesheets model: engineers run parallel agents and hours-on-task no longer maps to capitalizable activity. Allstacks classifies from actual work items, not logged time.

How long does setup take?

Most customers connect their SDLC tools and have a first capitalization report within 48 hours. Configuring your classification rules typically takes one session with your finance and accounting team.
