Project Management
Project status can be accessed from remote locations as management rollup reports will give you up-to-the-minute estimates of project completion. Automatic emails go out when project budgets are exceeded or reach a pre-defined threshold. Budgets may be used to restrict time entered against a project. Adding projects and assigning employees can be accomplished in a matter of minutes. Employee utilization reporting and charts can be easily viewed, showing non-billable activity detail.

Information Management
Managers can receive reminder emails to approve time and expense submittals. Managers can view and approve timesheet and expenses from one screen. Employees are automatically notified by e-mail of entries that have been rejected or need revising. Managers can access employee schedules by individual, group or project.

Billing
Invoices can be generated based on time and expenses that have been submitted by employees by project. Invoices include bill rate changes for an employee, support for daily bill rates and can be sent via email straight from TimeConsultant. Groups of invoices can be batched for printing, emailing or exporting to an accounting system.

Time Tracking
Users can enter in time easily and quickly from anywhere using an Internet browser. Several different timesheet formats are available and notes can also be entered on timesheets (daily/weekly/optional/required). Approval is also easy as a manager can view all timesheets to approve on one page. Automatic reminders can be set up to remind employees to submit their time.

Expense Reporting
Expense entry is also easy, as expenses can be billed specifically to a project and can be given a specific description. Per Diem amounts can be entered and assigned by project or client if needed. Users can define currency and how expenses were paid by default or by entry. Managers can view all expenses to be approved on one page.
