BigTime makes time entry simple, so you can capture hours that might otherwise get missed.

Timesheets are easy to fill out.   No bells.   No whistles.   No nonsense.
Your staff isn't interested in timesheets that force them to learn a complex series of codes and keystrokes. They just want to get in, fill in their time, and get out -- quickly. With BigTime, they'll be able to enter time quickly and easily.
Daily, weekly and monthly snapshots make it easy for you to spot holes.
Your staff can spot holes, too. That makes it easier to get complete time records. We've also linked your budgets and to-do's to your timesheet snapshots - so everyone can see where you expect them to spend their time.
BigTime lets you choose a timesheet that's right for you.
Make time entry as simple or as detailed as your company requires. BigTime has half-a-dozen standard time entry screens for simple, weekly, timer-based or task-list time entry. If one of BigTime's standard formats can't meet your needs, then you can roll your own!

We'll help you manage and analyze your most important asset: your people.

T&M or not, you get a handle on where your staff is spending their time.
Every hour your staff invests is a decision on where you're spending your money. We'll give you instant access to those decisions--no matter how you structure your invoices.
Time, budgets and staff costs are linked easily to your bottom line.
Every staff member is automatically assigned a personal cost factor. Since we hook that cost factor back to their account work, you can break apart the factors that influence your gross margin.
Who's got time? BigTime lets you staff new projects more effectively.
BigTime is modeled after the real world where not everyone in your firm can be painted with the same brush. Capacity, utilization goals, project vs. non-project work, all of these factors influence the financial picture we help you create.

We've made the system easy to tailor, so you get a perfect fit.

It's industry-specific, right out of the box. BigTime has its own lexicon that you can customize.
You'll save hours on training and re-training by getting the system to speak your language out of the gate.
You can personalize the system's lookup lists.
We don't lock you in to our version of account management. All of the systems lookup lists and status codes are customizable, so you can group, filter and sort your own way.
Define your own cost centers that make financial reporting a snap.
We'll let you divide up your staff or your accounts by cost centers (department, location, specialization, etc). Then, we'll let you sort, group and report on those cost centers throughout the system.
Milestones and Status Codes are industry-specific.
That makes it a lot easier for you to compare progress across projects and accounts, and it helps you start to get a clearer picture of what makes certain types of projects tick.
Workflow can be customized to your firm's needs, too.
You might have one person review every invoice, or you might involve 3 or 4 people from each team. No matter how simple or complex your budgeting, draft invoice and account "audit" processes are, we can accommodate it.

Reduce your administrative burden, and you'll get a surprising payoff: more senior-level time.

Don't wait until invoice-time to figure out if you're on target.
Good managers ask lots of questions, and we make those questions easy to answer. We'll provide real-time feedback on where your teams are spending their time.
BigTime's team features make keeping track of teams across accounts easy.
You can focus your managers on the groups they manage, and you can even compare performance across those groups. You can restrict sensitive information like payroll data and keep the right data flowing to your management team.
Track how much time your staff is supposed to spend on each account.
We've modeled BigTime's budgeting engine on real world professional services firms, so your budgets can staff flexible. You can budget at up to three different levels (account, task and staff) which makes accuracy easy to maintain.
Wrap up all your firm's information with easy to use reports.
We've focused in on over 50 reports which are tailor made to the services industry and which paint a clear picture of your firm's status for you and your senior team.
Drafting and reviewing invoices is built right in to the system.
We let you set up a company-wide standard for who reviews an invoice before it goes out. Then, we let you distribute and collect drafts via your company email. Reviewing drafts is just that simple.
Focus senior attention on projects that need it.
Milestones, goals and "risks" can all be tracked and reviewed, so your senior team can keep track of each account's overall progress--even when they're busy focusing on the details.

Let your team zero in on profitable projects and figure out what makes them tick.

Zero in quickly on a standard set of account and project financials.
Every account comes equipped with a standard set of financials which tell you who's profitable and who's not. Best of all, the financials page gets more detailed if you decide you want to track more information.
Make an easy link between time and profitability.
We'll do more than show you an "end of month" summary, we'll let you and your senior team drill down through the details, so you can see not just how much time was spent per person, but what that time was used to accomplish.
Clarify your financial picture by distinguishing between time, retainers, and expenses.
BigTime comes out of the box ready to deal with real-world scenarios. It's got pre-defined templates for retainer accounts, fixed-fee accounts, capped T&M accounts, progress billing and more. We'll also let you bill straight T&M.

Your clients want accountability. We'll help you give it to them.

Keep important goals and milestones top of mind.
An account is a relationship, and it can't be managed like it's nothing but a set of tasks and checkboxes. BigTime was built to accommodate a number of "bigger picture" tools, so your team can set and review goals, milestones, and major risks.
Track documents, versions and drafts in one central location.
BigTime's library is an alternative to your company's network "junk drawer." It lets you store documents along with important "tags" and details that put those documents in context. We'll also let you track and protect versions and revisions.
Let email updates keep important dates in front of your team.
BigTime can be fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook®, so your team can take full advantage of that powerful tool's workgroup capabilities.
Link invoices back to "work completed" for clarity down the road.
Every invoice becomes a living document that managers can refer back to when clients have questions, even if those questions come months down the road! They'll have instant access to time, details, write downs, discounts and credits.
The account/project diary can provide a running history for your team.
Turnover on accounts and projects is a part of life in a services firm, and sensitive timesheet records can only tell part of the story. BigTime's account/project diary makes integrating new team members easier on the team and the client.

MasterPlan can connect your Microsoft Project files to a firm-wide strategy.

Establish a two-way street between your budgets and your work plans.
Most task-based management systems operate in a vacuum, often ignoring client budgets and the financial constraints that are an important part of managing a services firm. BigTime avoids that pitfall by making sure that project plans and budgets can work hand-in-hand.
Give your staff instant easy-to-use access to their personal task lists.
BigTime consolidates your MSProject plans automatically, so users see any task to which they are assigned. Then, we make entering time against all those tasks easy! By eliminating the updating hassles of Microsoft Project, MasterPlan lets you keep time tracking, budgeting and project planning in sync.
Compare actual time input to budget data with one-click updates to MSProject.
With a single button click, your project managers can download a complete update from BigTime's powerful timesheets. That lets managers keep their budgets rooted firmly in reality, and it gives them the tools they need to keep project costs in line.
Get a complete picture of how each project plan affects your firm's bottom line.
MSProject is a great tool for managing work plans, but business owners need to know how all of those individual projects interact. BigTime lets you mix MSProject-based jobs with all of your other firm activities for a complete picture of budgets, staffing requirements and capacity.

We'll help you build a sales pipeline that makes forecasting easier and more accurate.

Get a grip on your new business pipeline.
No matter where you manage your contacts, BigTime can help you get a grip on your new business pipeline with an easy to manage sales interface.
Create and implement a specific sales discipline.
Build rules into your pipeline management tools so that everyone in sales is working from the same playbook.
Make sales forecasts easier and more accurate.
