Setup & Architecture

From installation to insight in minutes

eWorkPulse is designed for zero-friction deployment. The agent installs in under 3 minutes and starts reporting data immediately — no complex configuration required.

4 Simple Steps

How eWorkPulse Works

1

Create Your Organization

The super admin creates an organization in the cloud console. Configure departments, teams, working hours, and timezone settings in minutes.

2

Deploy the Agent

Install the lightweight background agent on each employee's workstation (Windows or macOS). The agent auto-starts on system boot and requires zero user interaction.

3

Define Policies

Set up productivity policies to classify applications and websites as Productive, Neutral, or Unproductive. Assign rules per department. The agent enforces them automatically.

4

Monitor & Take Action

Your cloud dashboard updates in real-time. Review productivity trends, generate reports, view screenshots, and act on capacity planning data — all from one place.

Technical Architecture

What the agent monitors

The eWorkPulse agent is a silent, lightweight process that collects and syncs granular workforce data without impacting system performance.

🖱

Keyboard & Mouse Activity

The agent detects whether the user is interacting with the computer. If no input is detected for a configurable threshold, the session is marked as Idle and tracking pauses — ensuring accuracy in time measurement.

🔍

Active Window Focus Detection

Every time the user switches applications or browser tabs, the agent captures the application name, window title, and URL. Each focus change is logged with a precise timestamp and duration.

📷

Periodic Screenshot Capture

At admin-configured intervals (e.g., every 10, 15, or 30 minutes), the agent takes a screenshot of the active screen and uploads it securely to cloud storage with metadata tags.

🖥

System Information Inventory

On startup and at periodic intervals, the agent reports: OS version, CPU model, RAM, disk drives (with free space), network adapters, connected USB storage devices, and installed applications.

Cloud Sync & Real-Time Update

Collected data is batched and synced to the cloud dashboard every few minutes. Sync timestamps are visible per employee. Admins can see when an agent last connected.

🔒

Policy-Driven Classification

On every sync, the agent reads the org's policy rules and automatically classifies each activity log entry as Productive, Neutral, or Unproductive based on app name or URL pattern matching.

Data Flow

From workstation to dashboard

Every activity is captured locally first, then synced securely to the cloud dashboard. Data is never processed on the employee's machine beyond classification — ensuring speed and privacy boundaries.

  • 1 Employee opens a program → agent logs app name + timestamp
  • 2 Focus duration is tracked until app changes or idle is detected
  • 3 Log entry is created: app, URL, duration, type (active/idle)
  • 4 On sync cycle, log is uploaded to cloud with org ID and employee ID
  • 5 Server applies productivity policies and computes scores
  • 6 Dashboard KPIs update — admin sees live productivity instantly

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the employee know they are being monitored?

This is an organizational policy decision. The agent can run fully silently in the background. We recommend organizations inform employees about monitoring as part of their employment agreement for best ethical practice.

Does the agent slow down employee computers?

No. The agent is designed to be ultra-lightweight. It runs as a background process with minimal CPU and RAM usage. Employees will not experience any slowdowns in their daily work.

What happens when an employee is offline?

The agent stores data locally and syncs it once the network connection is restored. The employee status in the dashboard will show as Offline until the next sync. The last sync timestamp is always visible.

Can we support remote employees with WFH setups?

Absolutely. Each employee profile tracks Work Mode (Office/Home) and Device Ownership (Own/Company). Work-from-home employees are monitored identically — the agent syncs over any internet connection.

Can managers monitor specific departments only?

Yes. The dashboard, reports, and screenshot filters all support department-level filtering. Org admins can restrict access so managers only see data for their assigned teams.
