BigTime: Your Partner in Firm Management
“BigTime Wallet offered us a way to get payments faster from our clients, and also eliminate any fees within electronic payments on the client end. The ease of creating invoices from time in BigTime and the formats were better than almost anything we’ve seen out there.”
"BigTime has helped us increase efficiency from start to finish. From onboarding a client to actually doing the work for them, drafting the invoice, and sending it to them, because of the cohesiveness of the program we're able to increase our efficiency in how we serve the client and how we bill them."

Good Support Team and Platform
We started using BigTime Software to better track staff time against projects and keep track of WIP. The program is easy to use and the chat support is quick to respond most of the time and able to help, especially in a pinch.

- Intergration tools
- time management

- Submit feature should be located differently or a pop up
- Previous screen when creating invoice templates
- Color view still needs work
- invoice details
- activity codes
- project history
- reporting
- timesheet tracking
- Faster payments
- Ease of use to track and bill out time
Ajera is not as user friendly and seems to be designed for larger corporations Does not have integrations with other software like QB

timesheets mostly, admin staff populate the rest of the data such as creating new jobs, activity codes, expenses, reports, invoices etc.

We replaced it b/c we need to report/track retainers and wanted to also track WIP. We also did not use QB timesheet feature so we
were lacking the ability of editable activity codes and lumping scopes together to match our client contracts. BT has helped with all of this.

AT times the client contracts can be very involved and we needed a product that would allow us to create and alter the activity codes as we go, etc. BT helped with this as well as timesheets and WIP reporting. We also needed a product to merge with QBO and BT offers all of these features.
A significant amount of time and research was put into this decision and we are happy with the product.
no, have not needed it
Yes
yes a few times and I must say that the most effective bugs have been resolved in a timely manner
YES, a few times. When we implemented the software we asked for help with personalizing the invoice templates. Although BT does not have a supported group for this, the trainer at the time was able to help us a little bit. From there I was able to edit and make changes as I go. This was helpful to me and I am grateful for that help.
Other times, they have escalated calls if the first agent was not able to assist in our questions. Most of the help was needed when we were still learning the product and how to use. Rarely do we reach out now, unless we notice a bug or if we want to ask of a way to fix something or ask for new features to be considered.

Easy Customization
We use BigTime Software to track student attendance and billing. All of the administrative personnel use it to keep it updated and correct. It allows us to have access to the information for our clients anywhere and communicate remotely. We were previously tracking everything by hand, so this has been a major upgrade!
- Customization.
- Accessibility.
- Tech support.
- Connecting the scheduling to billing for invoicing in advance of services.
- Deletion of fields that are not relevant to our company.
- Allowing the current credit balance to be added to a report for quick sorting.
- Online accessibility
- Customization
- Report generation
- It has streamlined our tracking of students.
- It has allowed us to access all our information remotely.
- It has made invoicing a quick and easy process.
We looked at several different options, but most of them charge a percentage of the profits to use their service. BigTime is a flat rate for access/use and that works better with our business.
No, the support that is included has been sufficient.
Yes
It took several weeks and was not addressed until the next system update.
The onboarding process involved several training sessions where a knowledgeable technician walked us through the features of the program.

BigTime is a Big Win!
All employees of our organization use BigTime Software. BigTime is the easiest tool for entering and tracking time and expenses. It's easy to breakdown time by employee, department, project, task, etc., which is great for project management purposes. It is easy to integrate into other tools as well, like QuickBooks for example.
- Entering/tracking time and expenses.
- Reporting capabilities.
- Mobile app.
- I wish there was a button to view all companies logged in your BigTime platform (instead of having to view all projects).
