TimeLinx

TimeLinx gives any organization with a need to track billable or non-billable time an easy and fast way to track time and expenses directly within Sage SalesLogix. Easily manage staff and projects without the burden of learning and using a complicated project management system.

• Immediate Information
  Do salespeople know what's going on in their accounts? Sales and Customer Service can now provide knowledgable answers. Time-critical information is available immediately to users without laborious re-keying of data. No more overnight delivery expenses, illegible faxed paperwork, or time-consuming phone calls. Information is in the home office the same day for a visible improvement in customer service. Responding knowledgeably to customer and management inquiries becomes accurate and timely.
• Fast and Accurate Time Entry
  The TimeLinx weekly timesheet view permits time entry in a spreadsheet fashion for an entire week right down to the specific Tasks performed. The system includes a manager selection interface for each user, project security controls, and a workflow system for project manager and manager approvals. Simply choose the Account, Project and Task, and enter time and comments for an entire week. You're done!
• Flexible Contracts and Billing Modes
  Addendums and change order contracts are tracked. Projects can be set to price and track costs based on five different pricing methods. A secure attendance module shows work performance for any date range, and utilization and realization analysis for each consultant. Service records can be linked to any project, or even without a project for on-the-fly customer requests or pre-sales situations. The total amount of time expended for a project is continuously updated on screen so that users and management are alerted about overages in real time. Our exclusive TimeLight™ traffic signal system changes colors automatically to indicate that work is under, nearing or over the contracted time. And the use of Project Templates minimizes repetitive data entry.
• Track Time and Costs Right Down to the Task Level
  What types of work are the most profitable for your company? Using tasks on a project enables users to segment their time according to the type of work performed, and TimeLinx tracks it all. Profitability by task, when did the task begin, who is assigned to it, how much is left to be completed, how much time has been spent, and actual vs. budget. All this and more!
• TimeLinx AIP
  The TimeLinx AIP module creates a "staging" area for TimeLinx data that needs to be invoiced. This staging area is a set of tables and views designed to set data up for review and connection to supported accounting systems. Accounting system Connectors are being built to integrate to commercial accounting applications.
  
  Features may vary on various Connectors. All of the Connectors create customer Accounts automatically, and invoice labor and expenses, pass the cost of the work into the accounting system, and pass various information back to TimeLinx such as invoice numbers, dates, amounts, expense information (including reimbursement checks for staff) and more so the data is available to the staff working on the Project.
  
  The AIP includes a review area to allow approvals and editing of data to be invoiced prior to performing the actual synchronization. Additional tabs are also added to the TimeLinx Project Main View to view invoice and payment information inside the TimeLinx Project records.
• TimeLinx Reporter
  TimeLinx Reporter is the easy-to-use report writer for TimeLinx and SalesLogix (that's right, you can use this for SalesLogix-only reports, too!).
  
  Using Crystal Reports is a challenge for most "ordinary" people unless they have had extensive training. With the TimeLinx Reporter Pro Edition, sophisticated custom reports can be created by anyone without any formal training.
  
  It's Easy with the TimeLinx Reporter Wizard!!
  Why? Because we've done all the hard work for you by only showing appropriate tables and fields and giving them understandable English names. Then you can create the report with a 5-step Wizard and no programming knowledge!
