Timely

Timely is my go-to app to record my consulting and board hours

Avantages :

I use Timely across 3 platforms - iPhone, iPad, Mac - and all work seamlessly to keep track of my billable (and unbillable) hours. The interfaces are simple to understand and to use, and I'm much more confident in my recorded time than with other methods I've used. I appreciate how hard the Timely team works to add features to the product, and the company is responsive to my questions.

Inconvénients :

I pay a monthly subscription fee for unlimited project/client time tracking, which is great for Timely and would be fine for a consultant / lawyer / business owner who has multiple clients or projects to bill to. Most times I only have 1 or 2 projects on the go at once, and I'd like to see a "light" monthly fee added. If you have billable and non-billable hours for a project/client, you have to set up 2 different projects in order to properly tabulate the hours and invoice amounts. Timely's "tag" feature doesn't really work to keep billable and non-billable hours distinct when it comes time to determine how much to bill the client.

Revolutionary for Time capture

Commentaires : As a business owner, it is fantastic to get accurate and 'timely' submitted time sheets from staff each and every week. For the user, once you find your preferred method of capture, it is a breeze from there in.

Avantages :

The best thing about Timely is that it lets you focus on your work first, time capture second. Traditionally within an organisation with time sheets you need to constantly keep on top of your time entries or it will snowball into a big mess by the end of the week. Timely allows you to just get on with things and perhaps at the end of the week, you just approve the timesheet pre-filled for you.

Inconvénients :

When I sign up my staff to the software it can be a little overwhelming to get your head around things, and some have had minor teething issues with the memory app tracking. Once they get going its full steam ahead.

Very big benefit to control the exact hours of work.

Commentaires : Timely has allowed our company to have a much more accurate accounting of work hours, since before we had to count hours manually, and sometimes we did not correctly account for overtime. Timely has allowed us to avoid distractions, since it sends us an alert when an employee has spent a lot of time on a website that does not contribute anything to their working day, in addition, it sends us alerts every time an employee complies or fails to comply with their exact arrival time during the working day, which has helped us avoid no-shows. I was delighted with the great functionality and overall benefit that Timely brought me.

Avantages :

1. Timely allows you to monitor and keep an exact record of the amount of time each employee has worked, you can record this information for up to 50+ employees simultaneously.2. Timely allows you to quickly export the data each time a working day has ended, we can import this data into our Payroll system for payroll payments.3. Timely allows us to count the time each employee spends on various applications during working hours, we can find out which applications they used during each working day.4. Timely allows us to accurately monitor the pages visited by our employees. This function is very useful because we can avoid distractions during working hours.5. This platform allows automatic accounting of overtime, it always detects when an employee is working overtime, it also detects when an employee has not shown up during the working day.

Inconvénients :

Timely does not offer any type of silent mode, which allows us to monitor our employees without the need for them to know that we are monitoring them, this causes the disgust of some employees since they think that we do not trust their work skills. The rest of Timely's features have performed positively, with no complaints.

Used Timely to record time worked and tasks completed

Commentaires : Timely organizes time info visually very well.

Avantages :

I liked the way that Timely visually assembled information to be seen en mass. It made the ability to see quickly and easily where time opportunities were for our business.

Inconvénients :

Timely was not quite what we were looking for. It's a good program but ultimately we were unable to use it in tandem with other programs we were more committed to.

Lifesaver

Commentaires : It saves me a lot of money because I track time I missed otherwise. And in that way it is more fun to do!

Avantages :

I really like the memory function. Some days you are so busy you forget about tracking time (and thus missing income). But with memory I can easily see what I have done, when I have done it and how much time I spend on it. Clear overview of spend budget within projects.

Inconvénients :

The reporting function could use a little more branding, now it's just a standard template.
