(1-18 of 18)WorkflowMax: Robust for Task Management, Invoicing and Time Tracking in One Single Integrated Spot
- 14 days free trial we acquired was a great thing for us since we were able to test it before purchase.
- Manage documents: Makes it easy to manage and share documents with other users.
- Track time on projects.
- Mobility support.
- Visualize data to gain insights.
- Setting multiple billing rates for a single employee always lead to an error.
- Template customization should be added.
WorkflowMax for the win
- Invoice integration with Xero
- Easy to keep track of complex jobs over time
- Makes sure you don't lose track of billing
- Setting up job templates can be confusing
- Templates for invoicing and purchase orders are tied to Microsoft Office which seems so unnecessary in an open age.
WorkflowMax: Improving the Business of Architecture
- Allows for fairly simple or elaborate project forecasting depending on the complexity of the job. This allows us to track time by a single project or multiple phases.
- Time keeping and coordination with invoicing software has increased our firm's ability to issue timely and accurate invoices to clients. Has ability to break down projects in numerous ways to meet the needs of our various clients. This means we can invoice by project, phase, milestone, or dollar increments.
- Interface is clean and easy to follow. The easier it is to use the fewer mistakes that are made when entering information. This is greatly appreciated.
- Currently the timesheet function allows staff to input time for overlapping periods which can cause some headaches when it comes to payroll and invoicing. We understand this is being addressed.
- The amount of flexibility in the product can create some challenges when setting up the jobs database at the onset. It is a daunting challenge but worthwhile when completed correctly and rolled out across the firm. Adding new jobs is much easier.
- No search function to find a specific job, you have to scroll through all jobs allocated to you.
WorkflowMax review
- Simple to use and set-up
- Cost effective
- Not enough experience of the product yet to really comment
- WorkflowMax is a powerful application (or set of modules) which streamlines several processes into one.
- From job data to invoicing to payroll we have the ultimate control.
- Links seamlessly with Xero for our accounting.
- I would like somewhere (client folders) I can keep my quotes so I can quickly access them for data from invoiced jobs. I don't want just one giant list.
Workflow Maxing it for us!
- It is very simple to use. The engineers don't have time for big training sessions and they have picked up on how to use it very easily.
- It is easy to correct mistakes. Sometimes the engineers don't get things set up right on jobs and I have to rectify the issues and it is so simple to do with just adding additional templates to jobs.
- The report builder is marvelous. I am able to create all sorts of reports for all sorts of situations and creating mailing lists etc., is so easy.
- I think invoicing multiple clients at one time of the month, like we do at the end of the month, can take a little time as I have to go into each individual client and create an invoice. It would be great to have the functionality to create invoices for multiple clients that had time on their jobs for that month.
I need more time to fully evaluate WorkFlowMax
- Seamless integration in terms of raising sales invoices to my clients based on hours x hourly rate
- Ability to log tasks by individual job, which can derive a draft invoice.
- Customer service
- User ability for WorkFlowMax users
WorkflowMax Review
- One source of truth around our clients, contractors, available resources and current jobs
- Quoting and invoicing
- Time tracking
- The ability to customise the names of the different areas. For example we would like to change the Lead tab to Resource Pool
- Autosave
- Colour and bold into notes and Add notes in two places
- Timesheet should not allow me to enter zero hours without a pop-up confirmation
- Great for managing teams which are not in one spot. Awesome for small or growing businesses with employees who might work from home.
- Really good for teams to keep up with where a project is at against the time left to achieve the goal
- Great for keeping all the information for each project in one spot.
- When looking at the job distribution it isn't to scale and it isn't printable.
- Sometimes it is confusing as to where you might find something until you realise there are multiple points of access.
- When a job is assigned the whole task is assigned and if you work on it before the task is allocated to you, it isn't possible to enter those hours. It would be better if the employee could choose the task they did and enter the hours and then it sent back to an approver to have it added.
Are they transferring from another product and if so can any of the data be imported in?
What payroll/accounting software do they use - do they need their workflow product to communicate well?
- Reporting - enables users to see at a glance exactly what is outstanding, what jobs are open, and what action is required on each particular project
- Invoicing - once the template has been set up invoicing is extremely easy to do
- Timesheets - individual users can input their own timesheets and this information carries over automatically into invoices. Makes my job so much easier!
- When I open WorkflowMax I always go straight away to the Jobs / Jobs section. It would be useful if I could set this up as a "default"
- When initially setting up WorkflowMax I imported all my contacts from Xero - only to realise that I didn't really need them all. I can only delete one client/supplier at a time and it would be so much easier if I could nominate a group deletion
- Report Builder - when creating new reports you can only use fields that are relevant to the report you're trying to create, ie a Job report only has job fields. It would be useful if the fields could be expanded to include all areas (ie jobs, invoices, quotes, etc) so that a totally customised report can be built
Some key questions to ask:
Do you need to track time?
Do you have projects that need to be accessed by different employees/clients/suppliers?
Do you need a fully customisable reporting suite?
New User review - best thing we ever did...
- Ease of understanding and learning the programme for all staff levels with good learning support.
- Very good data and graphic presentation to get a quick or detailed picture of the business
- Relative ease of data entry
- Awkward process for setting New Jobs up, jumping around a lot. Then re-entering data. Then not being able to enter your own hours because you didn't tick yourself on the task line.
- Maybe Admin can enter a new job with a link from the dashboard. Then New Job could have a 'wizard' (sorry) or a prompt sequence, to ask if you have done certain things or are planning to enter hours...
- I am unsure of how to reconcile Fixed price against Hours worked, i'm sure it can be done. Haven't figured it out yet.
- Not necessarliy straightforward...
Do you charge by the hour?
What information do you need?
Do you know if you are making any money or not?
The only scenario I can think of not to use it, is if you don't want to know the answer to the last question... Could happen.
WorkflowMax your time today.
- Jobs can be allocated to each member of staff - with a due date - which keeps us on track with deadlines
- Data flows from Xero into WorkflowMax and in turn links to the IRD for ease of filing returns on line
- Documents can be attached to clients files - or notes added- now easy to access so everyone has an up to date picture of what is going on
- It used to have a time clock facility to keep an accurate account of time spent on a job - don't know what happened to this - but it was very handy
Can even herd cats.
- Clear and easy to use which helps - so very little resistance from staff to utilise the functions
- Saves a huge amount of time from a functional management perspective
- Allows you to get a quick overview of where your business is at and where the workflow crunches are occurring
- Would like less steps between the raising of invoices and email functionality
- Would like the ability to issue credit notes as well as invoices
- Would like the ability to fully edit an invoice after it has been issued ( prior to exporting)
Why WorkflowMax Works For Us
- WorkflowMax is great at collating time sheets across teams, clients and projects. Managing hours spent on discrete project by various staff members is critical to our business. Since using WorkflowMax blowouts are a thing of the past.
- WorkflowMax integrates directly with Xero. Invoices created in WorkflowMax are added into Xero's accounts receivables like magic.
- WorkflowMax allows for the easy creation of custom templates that fit in with our organisation's standard documents.
- Would be great if the client login provided real-time updates on hours against active jobs
- Allow for text in invoices to be updated after they are approved without having to cancel an invoice, once it's approved you cannot fix typos
- Refinement of the staff members billing rate system such that staff members can be billed out at varying billing rates
Working for you - WorkflowMax - highly reccomend
- Staff timesheets. WorkflowMax enables easy time entering for staff, and allows us to progress invoice up to date. It can work in with payroll systems and accounting software for ease of entering - saving alot of time and double entering.
- Gives a clear view of the current and upcoming jobs / tasks
- Able to track and follow a job, comparing the estimates to the actual amount billed for a job. You can see where things may have gone overtime, or undertime etc
- Would be nice to have the ability to edit an invoice, it seems at the moment the only way of changing an invoice is to delete it our of the system and start again.
Happy Happy Happy with WorkFlowMax
- Makes it easier to quote a job as information is set and types of work can be changed. Great as everyone knows our charge out rates and can quote quickly
- Very easy to find client contact details. Having all the clients details is good as you only need to know part of the company or their name and you can find them
- Very easy to review a job to see what needs to be done. Workflows are fantastic!
- I would like it so that values can be taken out and sent to a word document. May be able to do this, but have not been able to find it.
Loving WorkflowMax
- Time tacking of jobs - a timer is available to keep time. Only available on the full web version unfortunately. Great for starting when beginning work and entering notes into the field as you go. Then stop the timer at the end, the notes on what was done are all there without having to think back through the entire day.
- Invoicing and integrating with Xero. Saves so much time with the accounting.
- Quotes - can price up all the costs and time, and when the quotes gets accepted, it converts this straight into a job and away you go.
- The mobile version is lacking too many features - specifically the timer
Seamless workflow for on the road
- Task reminders - so you do not forget to send out material or chase that lead
- Job costig - so you can really understand the cost to your business and price accordingly to make money
- Integration with XERO - so that when monitoring your performance the figures are all there
- An app for mobile use woud be great
- Ability to customise the look of your quotes at far greater detail
