We use it to track manual tasks. This way we know what task is taking too much time and what tasks to automate. For example, updating a customer credit card used to be a manual task, it seemed to be taking lots of time for our client service team so we automated the process so that clients can update their credit card instantly within their Ubertor control panel. We only realized the actual time it was taking due to Slim Timer. Before we tracked it, it just seemed like a quick little task that took 2 minutes. It seems that 2 minutes ads up.
