Issues before using Timesheet Xpress...
Prior to the installation of Timesheet Xpress, Parkes’ recorded all jobs for clients through the traditional pen and paper solution. This in itself was time consuming, but ultimately was the transferred into a spreadsheet. Keeping on top of this process took up time for accurate recording and billing of clients. Not only was it time consuming for data input, but running reports to analyse data was an extensive task. While taking time to do these internal tasks, Parkes’ found that it was detracting from time which could be better used serving their clients and prospecting for new business. As a company that prides itself in efficient and reliable services to their customers they knew they had to address their own internal issues, so they looked for a solution to help them manage their systems and ensure their clients received maximum value for money and minimize any potential errors in billing.
Since using Timesheet Xpress...
Now that information is input immediately to Timesheet Xpress, Melody Parkes (MD) said:
“We have found that the information we need to keep track of has been trapped in a more efficient manner and therefore saves time in re-entering data; the big advantage for us is that it greatly reduces the chances of error when billing our clients.”
