AffinityLive, makers of professional services business automation software, has introduced an update to its timesheet product that will automate the process of recording time spent on client work for billing purposes.
The new feature automatically fills out users’ timesheets by actually timing how long they’ve spent reading and answering emails for certain clients, in meetings with each client, or completing tasks. After recording the time and adding it to the users’ weekly timesheet, the tool then allows users to manually edit or add in time to make it as accurate as possible. Users can also turn a timer on and off when completing non-billable work.
“Keeping tabs on the time you spend working on client projects, tasks, opportunities, and more is an integral part of your professional life,” says Geoff McQueen, CEO of AffinityLive. “Our costs are always measured in time. And if you don’t know where your valuable time is being spent, there’s a chance that the business is running off the rails, whether it bills on a time and materials or a fixed price basis.”
“The technology driving emails and smartphones has made professional services employees more productive, but has also dramatically increased the number of different things they work on each day,” says McQueen. “The traditional, manual ritual of filling in your timesheet at the end of the week based solely on your memory is simply no longer effective.”
