Consultancies

Advice is work. Keep track of it.

Calls, workshops, preparation and travel land on the engagement as they happen, and on next month's invoice.

Example from the app: a week of logged time, day by day, with a running timer and the entries of the day.

A month at a consultancy like yours

Three ordinary weeks. Illustrative examples, not customer stories.

Example

The quick opinion

A client calls the partner for “a quick opinion” on a supplier contract. Forty-five minutes, not logged. Over a month it adds up to about six hours.

With workelligence: start a timer on the engagement or add the call in the week grid, and it appears on the statement of hours with the next invoice.

Example

One more workshop

On a fixed-fee engagement, the client asks for one more workshop. With preparation it takes a day and a half, and nobody raises it.

With workelligence: the engagement's budget burn shows the overrun while it happens, so you can raise it before the invoice.

Example

Last month, half remembered

Consultants on client sites log their time days later. The travel day and the steering committee preparation are missing, and the invoice goes out short.

With workelligence: copy last week's entries, see missing days marked, and when you bill the period every logged hour is collected into the invoice.

Time tracking

Every billable hour, logged where it belongs.

A timer while you work, a week grid that marks the days without time, and last week copied in one click. Billable time collects on the project until you bill it.

  • Timer with pause and resume
  • Missing days marked, in the week and in My Work
  • Timesheets per person for the team
Read the use case

Example from the app: a week of logged time, day by day, with a running timer and the entries of the day.

Capacity planning

Know who has room before you say yes.

Hours per person and week, from work schedules, absences and the tasks you planned. Load bands show who is free, planned, nearly full or overbooked, this week and ten weeks ahead.

  • Target, planned and available per week
  • Absences change the picture the moment they are entered
  • Work without an owner in its own tray
Read the use case

Example from the app: the capacity planner in the billable view, hours per person and week for three teams, with one developer's projects, tasks and a retainer booking expanded.

Billing

Close the month in one run.

Bill a project or a retainer period from logged time, with the statement of hours attached. Quotes turn into invoices, invoices carry their e-invoice, and the DATEV batch goes to your tax adviser.

  • Standard, partial, advance and final invoices
  • XRechnung and ZUGFeRD on every finalized invoice
  • Supplier invoices read from the PDF, approved by a person
Read the use case

Example from the app: the invoice list, where a draft invoice for logged September time is sent.
