It was a real game-changer
One of the things BigTime has helped us do is manage our growth. We’ve tripled our revenues and more than doubled our employees over the years, yet the software has allowed us to keep our administrative staff - three to four people - virtually the same. It was a real game-changer
The ease and speed of BigTime’s workflow allowed us to increase productivity
With up to 500 engagements open at any time, we needed a faster and more intuitive way to handle our time and billing. The ease and speed of BigTime’s workflow allowed us to increase productivity, better capture billable hours – and sync to QuickBooks with a single click.
It makes our invoices and timesheets look exactly the way we want them to
It’s absolutely awesome what the BigTime tool can do. It makes our invoices and timesheets look exactly the way we want them to. We didn’t have to compromise or change the way we operated our business to accommodate the software. Instead, we made it bend to our needs.
Saving both time and money
The fact that the software is industry-specific is helpful because of the flexibility it gives us. We not only can use BigTime for our firm, but for client firms as well. It’s made our office – and our clients’ businesses – run smoother, faster and more efficiently, saving both time and money.
BigTime knew what information engineers typically enter
The idea of a time and billing package that catered to the engineering industry really appealed to us. BigTime knew what information engineers typically enter, and which reports and templates would be most useful to us. We can now generate reports with real-time, up-to-the-minute data.
