Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I required an expense report for no reimbursable items, [...] was very helpful in creating the report and providing suggestions for the report. Thanks [...]!
Pros
  • Reporting
  • Time / Expense Entries
  • Configuration for multiple clients
Cons
  • Some reporting functions are not available
  • Filters and additional details on approvals
  • Creating a payroll / expense report.
Likelihood to Recommend
BigTime Software has been valuable in creating custom billing / rates / expenses for our clients. It has decreased the amount of time required for invoicing and is more configurable than our last system, which will positively impact how we grow as an organization and our ability to service our clients. We have found BigTime Softwareto be user friendly, and our staff have found improvements in how they can bill time and expenses.

I would not have gone with any other Software. Big Time had great training and introduction to the software! Also, Derek K. was really a big help today!!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use [BigTime Software] to track profitability across our firm and the employees all input their time, and expenses into the system. This program is a seamless transition from Big Time [Software] to Quick books and helps make payroll so much easier. I can also post invoices and expenses over to QB.
Pros
  • Job Costing
  • Payroll
  • Invoicing
Cons
  • Live chat is sometimes hit or miss
  • Reports are not clearly generated
  • If you have to many columns it will cause a delay on the job list
Likelihood to Recommend
BigTime Software is great for working with other accounting systems like Quick books. the two accounting systems communicate well together.

Big Time is a Big Deal!!!

Currently using Big Time for Time, Expense tracking and also as a project management tool! So far its been great! It has so many great things it can do, and we are still learning! Tyler G. helped me today in their customer service Chat, and it was great. He gave me an anwer straight away, he was quick and professional!
Pros
  • Time Tracking
  • Expense Tracking
  • Helps us Mamange the Client Activities for each staff member
Cons
  • I love the Chat, but sometimes i want to speak to a rep by phone!
  • The support tickets seem to take too long
Likelihood to Recommend
I believe it is well suited for our industry! We are professional services consulting firm and we need this! However if there is a smaller company who does not need to track these items, then they should not use this big of a platform.

Yes to BigTime Software!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our Architecture firm of around 10 is currently using BigTime Software to manage project time frames and budgets, enter/submit timecards, and generate and send invoices. We are also able to receive payments using BigTime Wallet directly to the software.
The BigTime Software platform has allowed us to keep everything project related all in one place and be able to pull data/reports that can and look at project budgets, project time frames, staff utilization, estimates, remaining, and projections of hours and fees of contracted work.
Using BigTime Software has allowed staff and Project Managers alike to have a better view of hours remaining on a task and be able to manage projects more proactively, which helps with efficiency and client relationships.
We have found the BigTime Software interface to be user friendly and clean. Although the software platform is very capable of all our needs, it does not feel overwhelming or cluttered.
We are using the lower to mid-level tier of options and for our needs it has been working really well.
Pros
  • Thorough and clean setup of each project/client - they have almost everything you need at your fingertips to manage data for each project/client.
  • The Financials Tab - this is a quick overview of all the time/expense for each project and provides easy access if/when I need to move incorrectly logged time from a staffer.
  • Time Entry - simple and easy to use. My staff are able to log time on their schedule which could mean on the fly throughout the day, end of each day, end of the week, end of the pay period. It saves previously entered Project/Tasks and all you have to do is enter hours. This saves time and is a feature our owner loves.
  • BigTime Software Live Chat is a wonderful resource that I utilize regularly.
  • Overall company friendliness and willingness to help and improve. BigTime Software is excellent in this area, their company culture seems to promote involvement from all levels and all areas and is always looking for ways to improve.
Cons
  • More customization in invoice formatting (that I have control over)
  • Reports - I definitely prefer the old layout view, but they are not as easy to use as I'd like
  • The categories are not always clear to understand, what is what and/or how they are calculated can create extra work in excel post processing
  • Printing to paper w/out having to export a PDF first
  • Printing options in general (formatting, date ranges, details, etc.)
  • This area is incredibly lacking in options
Likelihood to Recommend
I'd like to start by saying, I rarely give 10's on anything, almost always 9's, the main reason for my 10 rating is the support I've received from this team/company.
BigTime Software has been well suited for our company b/c it's giving a window into the project budget and time frames to our Project Managers to proactively manage their projects and look for areas to improve and celebrate with support staff. I would say efficiency in time management.
BigTime Software is not an accounting software and I love that about it. We were looking for a tool for staff to manage their projects and stay on budget and track time and generate invoices all in one place and we've found that with BigTime Software.

BigTime makes time tracking and profitability a cinch all within 1 click

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently use BigTime IQ for time tracking, expense tracking, project budgeting and status reporting.
Pros
  • BigTime IQ and QuickBooks seamlessly integrate information. This makes life much easier for timesheets and expenses.
  • When time is directly entered against phasing of projects, the budgets are clear and tracked live.
Cons
  • We don't use the invoicing portion of the program. This causes the Work In Progress to keep mounting and isn't gauged correctly.
Likelihood to Recommend
BigTime is great for timesheet tracking- ease of accessibility for employees. They can download the mobile app and log their time when they remember to or when I need it immediately! Expenses are done the same way. You can upload the receipt from your phone.
