TimeBiller for Windows Mobile 5
I'm currently working on a few website projects and find time tracking and subsequent billing quite hard to keep track of. I remember from working in a solicitors a few years back, how the people there used time sheets and computer based billing applications to track time worked on client cases etc. So I figured someone MUST have written one for a mobile device. Quick Google and a trip to the loo (the latter had no bearing on the situation but I thought why not throw it in), and I stumbled upon a great little product called Time Biller.
I tend to get excited about things like this as it means I don't have to worry about keeping track of time worked on projects, Billing and follow ups. This great bit of software does it all. Here's a brief list of features (taken from Fann Software's site):
- Multiple clients and projects tracking
- Define clients with associated projects, tasks, contacts, and rates
- Multiple rates for each client including fixed rate
- Customizable view with sort, filter, font size, and colour options
- Display entries by day, week, month, or a custom period
- Optional duration granularity (minimum duration interval)
- Multiple views of data
- Time Entry Preview screen
- Handy entry copy feature for repetitive tasks for the rest of the week, to a specified date or end date
- Track billable, non-billable, billed, and paid tasks
- Customizable HTML reporting
- Export data to CSV or XML for further analysis
- CSV and XML export includes notes
- Drop lists for efficient data entry
- Optional pre-filled drop lists
- Create entries using multiple timers
- 3 custom fields
- Support ClearType
- Support VGA, square screen, and landscape modes (Windows Mobile 2003 SE or later)
- Optional soft key menu interface (Windows Mobile 5.0)
- Synchronization with Desktop TimeBiller 2.7 using ActiveSync
It's really easy to use. Just setup your clients, billing rates and any custom information you need then simply click the stopwatch icon. It then starts the clock and you begin working. Of course there is a pause button (you don't want to charge people for breaks, do you?) and, for those cross-client projects, you can even multiple create timed events while another is running (up to four I believe - think multiple desktops and you get the idea).
I like the feature to automatically generate billing reports in html format. Of course, for people who receive the bill it may not be so much fun!
