What is the Teams Game Feature? 

The Late Time Entry Gamification feature in MSPbots aims to help technicians reduce their late time entry hours through friendly competition.

The employees are divided into groups that are predefined by the management prior to the competition. Each employee is expected to reduce individual average late time entry hours per week to help reduce the team's average late time entry hours. Less late time entry hours mean fewer missed billable hours and more accurate data for utilization and agreement profitability computations.
