"Aly Goldman helped me start from scratch as an admin and get setup with BT in a short period of time"
What do you like best about BigTime?

We use BT for time & expenses, and then invoicing, with everything integrated with QB online.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

I chose not to use the BT wallet to receive payments due to the nature of the fees and how the unequal amounts are deposited to QB.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time & expense entry by users is in one place and enables invoicing to the customer, with integration to QB for accounting.

"It's so easy to put into place."
What do you like best about BigTime?

I investigated several programs that could assist my organization in managing tasks. BigTime has been the only company whose sales and customer service staff took the time to explain everything to me.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

BigTime is a tad on the pricey side, but its billing and invoicing tools are well worth the cost.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are providing our clients with precise information on the amount of time our engineers have spent working and reports on billable time.

"Intuitive Time Keeping"
What do you like best about BigTime?

The UI of BigTime is intuitive and easy to use. I can go in on a daily or weekly basis and not worry about spending additional time to just input my time.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

While the time input section is intuitive, the expense portion is a little less intuitive. My primary issue is that to expense specific items, I have to click submit first then decided to submit individual expenses. Ideally, there would a radio button to select expense that I could then submit.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a user of BigTime, I am able to submit my time online via the web or mobile device without having to rely on a spreadsheet. By using BigTim, I can quickly and accurately submit my time.

"Important platform for time tracking/budgeting; personalize service a plus"
What do you like best about BigTime?

Our agency has been using BigTime for close to 20 years. We use BigTime to track time, project future months, assess budget v. actual, and provide reports to our clients as back-up to monthly invoices. As our needs have changed, we needed updated reports. The BigTime spent time with our team via Zoom to create custom reports to meet our many reporting and tracking needs—something we could not have done without personal support from the. BT staff.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

I wish the BigTime version we use was more commonly used.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed custom reports created which was accomplished during a Zoom between BT support staff and our agency team.

"One Stop Shop"
What do you like best about BigTime?

What we love most about BigTime is that it's a central location for many different functions. We use it for payroll, timekeeping, expensing, consultant billing, client billing, reporting, and as a project information database. We have a lot of employees that experience new technology fatigue when we try to implement software, so it's a huge perk that we can send them to one place for so many different things.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The mobile app is very lacking. We've heard that BigTime is working on this though. We'd love to use the app for expense tracking and timekeeping, especially while staff are traveling, but it's just a bit too clunky to use.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have solved a big challenge of tracking consultant project costs. We created consultant-specific phases in each project and set up an estimated budget for each one. We add new invoices to those phases so we can keep track of where the budget is at. This is a huge benefit because it gives us advance warning if a project is about to go over budget so we can make adjustments before that happens.

"Keep your Projects on Time with BigTime."
What do you like best about BigTime?

The best part of our job is by quickly sending custom invoices by the end of the month. Assigning right people to the right jobs at the right time without working over/under scheduling.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

BigTime could be better if an administrator was able to edit a staff members timesheet directly from their timesheet. Also be able to create purchase Orders in BigTime.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marking timesheets a breeze with intuitive data entry and submitting time and expenses with easy-to-use. Building better processes starting with project creation and budgets through to time expenses and billing.
