Clicktime.com Announces Commercial Availability of Web Timesheet with Time and Expense Tracking
Powerful Web-based Time Tracking Timesheet to Solve Managers' Collection Headaches
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA., November 18, 1999 -- Clicktime.com today announced the commercial availability of its flagship ClickTime® application for employee time collection. ClickTime is designed for anyone who tracks hourly time: attorneys, graphic designers, software developers, accountants, architects, or any billable professionals who need to track time for billing, payroll, and attendance purposes. ClickTime is offered on a fully outsourced basis as an application service provider (ASP).
Solving the Collection Problem
"We've talked to dozens of companies across all service industries -- the problem for them is not the lack of available software, it's that people just won't use the software put in front of them," said Alex Mann, CEO of clicktime.com. "ClickTime is built with a different emphasis --convenience, simplicity, and incentives for users to record their time."
Established in 1998 as a division of Mann Consulting, ClickTime was originally developed in response to clients looking for a better way to handle employee timekeeping. In February 1999, version 1.0 of the ClickTime application and web site were released to a select client base that includes Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Basis Technology, and Cornyn & Partners.
ClickTime is a web-based application that features 1-click time entry, instant web reports for managers, automated email reminders and data integration with popular accounting and HR applications. The application is also available as a lightweight desktop application for both Windows and Macintosh for users who prefer non-browser based interfaces.
According to Jerry Barnhart, CFO of Goodby Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, "Our firm is made up of dozens of creative people who find it difficult to keep up with time sheets. ClickTime's simplicity and connectivity have improved our timeliness and accuracy -- and that translates to revenue and cash flow improvement."
Using Incentives to Encourage Compliance
ClickTime Perfect Points™ is a system designed to reward employees for prompt completion of their timesheets and will be available in early 2000. Managers can customize Perfect Points to be redeemable for a broad range of benefits including merchandise, airline miles and even rewards as simple as an afternoon off or a free lunch. No other time tracking program available today offers these types of incentives.
Time Reporting Anytime, Anywhere
ClickTime is designed for maximum accessibility. Users can enter time from ordinary web browsers, or through ClickTime's unique desktop application. Unlike competing services, ClickTime offers this application (for Windows and Macintosh) for time entry on or off the network. A mobile user with no access to the internet can still log time entries, which are sent to the ClickTime server the next time the user logs on to the network. clicktime.com plans to introduce handheld and telephone-based entry methods early in 2000, to allow users without access to a computer to log their time.
Pricing and Availability
ClickTime's web application is free for workgroups of 10 or fewer. For larger workgroups, monthly fees start at $5 per user per month. Monthly fees include ClickTime's desktop application and administrator technical support.
