Hi!

Project timesheet software, apart from giving clear idea on how and on what tasks employees spend their time, affects greatly billing. This fact speaks in favor of using automated timesheet software against Excel spreadsheets (not speaking about paper-based time tracking).

Usually, invoices are sent to clients, when account managers get the information of all the hours spent on the project by each member of the team. And a team supposes a number of people – developers, project managers, etc. Collecting this information is quite an effort, as people may not submit their hours or send spreadsheets on time, they may get sick, or by any other reason… This becomes more challenging if the development team is comparatively big (which is a common situation with complex projects). Moreover, employees’ rates are different.

So, without project timesheet software gathering the information and making all the calculations necessary to prepare invoices may be really time-consuming and error-prone. Project timesheet software makes this process faster, as the changes and corrections employees make in their timesheets (when timesheet software is used) are made in real time. So account managers get this information faster, with no, or at least, less mistakes, and are able to prepare invoices withing a shorter period of time.
