Monitor Employees in the Office – Works Even Without Remote

A crafts business with 12 office PCs. Wolfeye runs invisibly. After 30 days: 18 hrs/week less distraction, 35% more productivity – and the boss finally knows who really works.

“In the office, I don’t need monitoring – I see everything.”
Wrong.
An SMB owner with 12 employees in an open-plan office thought the same. Then the IT provider installed Wolfeye – invisibly, without a word.
Result after 30 days: 72 hours/week on social media, YouTube, Amazon, private chats – right on-site. Instead of blame: automated reports, focus blocks, 35% productivity increase.
And the best part: Wolfeye works just as well in the office as in home office – often with even greater impact.
Here’s the full plan – for SMB owners and IT providers.

The Problem

According to a 2025 University of Hamburg study, 72% of office workers spend over 1.8 hours daily on private activities – right in the office, next to the boss. Coffee breaks, private chats, Amazon, YouTube, soccer streams. Excel doesn’t show it. Glancing over the shoulder doesn’t either. But Wolfeye does: live, real-time, completely invisible – whether in the office or home office.

The Solution: Wolfeye Works in the Office Too

Wolfeye runs in stealth mode on Windows PCs – whether in the office, home office, or hybrid. No icon. No noticeable Task Manager entry. You see every screen live – updated every 3 seconds. That’s how you know who’s working – and who’s just pretending. No remote required. Works locally in the network or via browser access.

Example: Crafts Business with 12 Office PCs

A crafts business with 12 office PCs (accounting, order processing, dispatch). After 30 days of Wolfeye: 42 hrs social media, 30 hrs YouTube & streaming, 18 hrs private emails – per week. Instead of confrontation: automated weekly reports to the owner, 8–10 am focus blocks, internet blocker for non-work sites. Result: 35% productivity increase (from 65% to 88%), 18 hrs/week less distraction, $12,000/year saved. IT provider earns +40% via subscription markup.

Top 5 Time Wasters in the Office (12 PCs, 1 Week)

Activity	Time/Week	Cost/Month*
Social Media (private)	42 hrs	$1,050
YouTube & Streaming	30 hrs	$750
Private Emails & Chats	18 hrs	$450
Online Shopping	10 hrs	$250
Games & Downloads	6 hrs	$150

Before vs. After

Before: 65% productivity, 72 hrs distraction/week, no transparency, “everything in view” illusion.
After: 88% productivity, distraction down to 14 hrs, 35% more productivity, $12,000/year saved, clear performance overview for salary talks.

Why Wolfeye in the Office Is Even More Effective Than in Home Office

In home office, distraction is invisible. In the office, it happens right in front of your eyes – and is still overlooked. Wolfeye delivers real, unfiltered data over months – not just short-term behavior changes. You see who consistently delivers – and who only shines in meetings. That’s the foundation for fair salary talks, smarter shifts, fewer bad hires. And: The IT provider earns recurring revenue – because they typically buy Wolfeye on subscription and bill the annual fees with markup to the SMB.

Bonus: In the office, you can react immediately – e.g., “Hey Max, I see you’ve been on Amazon for 20 min – need help with the task?” – without blame, with transparency.
