"BigTime Software for Professional services"
What do you like best about BigTime?

The reporting in BigTime, once I figured it out is quite versatile. The compatibility with QuickBooks works very well.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The learning curve was a little steep and some of the reporting and integration is not intuitive.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use BigTime for time and expense tracking because we need to be FAR compliant and BigTime is set up very well for that type of reporting.

The Big Time support staff was very helpful. They responded quickly and politely to my situation.

"Accounting Firm "
What do you like best about BigTime?

Tracking, we have a number of cases that have various moving pieces. We mainly work with bankruptcy cases so tracking a case over multiple years can leave you missing a deadlines and tasks. What is truly amazing about BigTime is that it works for any type of business because you set it up for your own specific use. The staff are easily available for questions to assist. BigTime is set to evolve as your company does so.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

There isn't a manual of any kind, it is difficult to teach to people who are not tech savvy. The more data you put in the better the reporting you have and getting staff to do so requires a lot of teaching but without a manual of how things work it is often hard to teach. The webinars are fine but they go so fast and there is so much information.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a specific niche - we are an accounting firm and work with a bankruptcy Trustee - we not only have to track all of engagements but the law requires us to submit reporting on a quarterly basis or per case that takes the same data but is sorted about 10 different ways for the courts to approve. This program can easily solve this for us and save us a lot of man hours but getting it built is the difficult part. What would be great is to hire a team to interview us and put it together for our specific needs from tracking, billing and reporting.

"Love this App"
What do you like best about BigTime?

We are able to input time and it automatically rolls up into an invoice with the click of a button! We are able to generate reports on performance, product pricing, and revenue. With the ability to provide different access levels for our employees, we are able to utilize one app that provides all of our information rather than updating spreadsheets.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The system provides a lot of great reporting features but the data selection can be a bit limiting. A better solution for customizing reports would be great.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We we using two different access databases and having to do a lot of manual work. With this app, we are able to keep timekeeping and invoices within one database that makes invoicing a breeze. It takes us less time to process our invoices now. With the ability to provide different access levels for our employees, we are able to utilize one app that provides all of our information rather than updating spreadsheets.

"Great Solution for Time & Expense Tracking"
What do you like best about BigTime?

When moving to a new platform there is always a learning curve in becoming familiar with the new application. The Onboard Training met & exceeded my expectations for helping to make the software work with our company. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and the follow-up on any questions or review from training & support is immediate.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The program is not as initiative as it could be, which makes the initial set-up a bit more challenging. Since BigTime is a very powerful application, which offers an incredible amount of options, but it that also means it can be very complicated to jump in with out training.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigTime has offered a excellent solution to real-time "time tracking' & expenses for our employees. It has been a very good solution that works very well with QB Online. In the future, we would like to start integrating the tools available to help the business in the areas of Invoicing, Detailed Reporting and Project Management.

"BIGTIME is easy!"
What do you like best about BigTime?

I like the time sheet and reports tab. Also, I like that as an administrator, I can correct time sheets-even after they have been approved.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

I wish that under My company/staff list/time sheet history that I could add a line. When I am correcting an employee's time sheet, from that screen, I can only edit or delete but can't add in a line to add in jobs that the employees forgot to list. So I need to go to another screen which is not very convenient.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We just started with BIGTIME but we like the different reports that I can pull. Also, our employees like the phone app.
