Track time better than a spreadsheet - Business Management Daily

If you?re still tracking your time for projects or clients with a spreadsheet, it?s time to transition to a modern tool, program or application such as one of these suggested by PR columnist Lindsay Olson.

• Basecamp. Allows you to manage team projects, assign tasks, share documents and track time. Plans start at $20 a month.
• Toggl. A simple tool that you can use on any device, including iPhones and Android devices. $5 per user per month.
• Tick. You can track time on specific client projects and view how you?re doing on your overall time budget. Manage one project: free; for more it starts at $9 per month.
• OfficeTime. Use on PCs, Macs, iPhones and iPads to track your team?s progress on a project, including who is working too much or too little. The Windows or Mac version costs $47.
• Cash Board. Track time, send invoices and accept payments online. It?s free to manage two projects and bill one client a month and unlimited use is $10 per month plus 25 cents per client invoiced.
• Harvest. Use a PC, Mac, smartphone, desktop widget, Twitter, Gmail and other popular applications to track time. Send invoices and messages to your staff reminding them to turn in their timesheets. A single user is $12 per month after a free-trial period.
• On the Job. A desktop application for Macs that runs inconspicuously in your toolbar. The software costs $39.95.
• Sage HRMS. This software has more sophisticated functionality that ties time-tracking to payroll. Em??ployees log time worked from their computer, and you can easily calculate payroll and time off.?
