ClickTime vs. Webexpenses

We love how customizable ClickTime is for tracking billable client and program hours. It does a great job of reporting each pay period. We simply wish the mobile interface was more feature-rich. Because we can only specify how long someone worked (and not the specific time of day those hours were at) on the mobile platform it makes it very difficult for us to tell if someone was working inside or outside of their standard business contract day.

Webexpenses is well suited for quick and easy, simple claims for parking. For instance; I pull up to a parking bay in London, open the parking app (Ringo, for instance) and pay for the parking. Ringo emailed me a receipt for the parking. I take a screenshot of the email and then open WebExpenses mobile app. The total claim time in WebExpenses is about another minute. Add a claim, including the type of claim (parking), assign it to a client, and give it a price. Attach the screenshot, DONE, and all before I've gotten out of the car. WebExpenses mileage claims are based on Google Maps with traffic re-routing. I believe that this has a negative effect on your mileage claim because the time you drove around an accident, through miles of villages, and get to where you are going, the accident has now cleared. You go to put in your mileage claim, and it asks for your start postcode and finishes postcode. It then works out the mileage with the traffic in its current state. You are now 20 miles short of your actual journey. I ALWAYS take a start odometer from the car and a finish odometer from the car and adjust the claim on the form. The issue with this is that every mileage claim has a red flag for management to check over when processing the claim.

• Easy to use once you get the hang of it.
• Many useful features in one place.
• Many options available when needing to drill-down in detail or analyze time categories.

• imports credit card transactions from our corporate card program without issue
• allows for easy set up of new users
• is a very intuitive, easy to learn tool
• has a very responsive support and customer service team
• Set up and configuration was thorough, and they were able to work through our unique issues, such as custom segments in NetSuite.
• It is a very inexpensive product. Well worth the cost.

• The ClickTime app works very well and is simple to use, however, I wish to see regular updates to improve the design and the layout of the app.
• The custom reports and templates for reporting hours or expense report should be updated regularly to include more custom reports.
• Overall, ClickTime does a good job, just a bit of work on the website design and ClickTime App would make the experience feel better while using it.

• Expense claim feature when it comes to travel and when we have to create in terms of KMS driven it should auto-capture the dates. This can be improved and there is the scope for improvement.
• More tabs can be provided in petty cash expense so you need not type.

I would see no issues in renewing the Webexpenses software, and this has improved the way we process expenses.

I am giving Webexpenses a score of 9 as I find the whole experience of using very painless and efficient without any stress. Very often, I am very busy with my other work tasks, and the fact that this is very simple, easy, and quick to use makes the whole process run very smoothly.

There was an unexpected system issue that caused us to have to postpone a user training session at the last minute. Our Webexpenses trainer was not aware that it was going to occur.

The performance is great. Pages and reports load quickly. The data export/import from Webexpenses to our financial software, ACS, is not user friendly, mainly due to ACS import steps

We have had a good response from ClickTime when we have needed to ask questions.

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

Our trainer spoke very quickly and went through the training material quickly. Since this process was new to us, we missed some important information. We would have benefitted from further training with report generation as well. She did provide a recording of the training, but again, she went through the material very quickly

As long as you have people that are fully aware of the setup steps to get users into the software then I would see no issues arising for any company.

ClickTime is the first product of its kind I have had to use at work. Previous methods were always based in Excel documents and involved a lot more manual and redundant work for the same end result. It would be great if there were a better tie to our project management tools for time estimation, but it does the trick.

Fortunately, I have not used any other alternative before so I am afraid I am not in a position to establish any sort of comparative analysis between Webexpenses and any of its competitors. However, when asking people in other organisations Webexpenses was always the recommended option instead of other providers.

The Webexpenses multiple department management was not a perfect match for our internal structure. We developed work-arounds.

• Allows us to bill 100% of time spent on each job
• Allows us to analyze time spent on "flat billing" jobs and make adjustments to those set rates as needed
• Takes very little time to manage and enter time

• Previously you would have to manually scan expenses using a photocopier and have them signed and then put them in an envelope! Big time saving so Consultants can focus on selling.
• Accounts departments require less capacity as its all automated.
• Good tracking of expenses through the dashboard for managers.
