The Details

Saving time means more billable time

“When we started, we used a product called ACT! to manage our time but it just wasn’t the right tool for us,” Pasternak explains. “Back then, billing was a lengthy process. Our team uses Outlook Calendars to track everything, from appointments to project time – and we found we were spending too much time on administration. We were constantly duplicating effort and that made no sense. Our business model is simple: we get paid for helping clients, not doing time administration.”

“We asked ourselves why we weren’t leveraging the full capabilities of Outlook – why couldn’t we just track our time in Outlook and pull it out of the calendar. We thought all these redundant activities were unsustainable, so we went searching for a product that would work directly with Outlook.”

Why OutlookTime® is the easy to use timesheet for your business

That’s when MarketPoint discovered Timewatch and OutlookTime® and changed the way the company managed its timekeeping.

OutlookTime® turns Outlook entries into timesheets with a few simple clicks. Outlook calendars already contain 90 percent of the information needed for a timesheet entry: date, start and end time, duration, subject, location and notes. Rather than entering all this information again, OutlookTime® users simply add customer and project details to their appointments and then post them to their timesheet with a click.

No matter which version of Outlook your business uses – PC, Mac, phone or tablet – OutlookTime® can turn appointments into timesheets in seconds. There is even an Outlook plugin for Outlook for Windows desktop users that brings OutlookTime® functionality right into Outlook itself.

“I have always been a Microsoft Office user, and Outlook has become an essential part of my firm,” Pasternak says. “I’d give OutlookTime® five stars. It is perfect for what we need.”
