Organizations can streamline the workflow with the Quickbooks integration developed by the BigTime development team, selected by Intuit as their OEM developers.
Users can track and report on their team's time and expenses online using BigTime's iPhone or Android apps when they're on the go. BigTime's web app is accessible from a web browser and responds to any device size. Improve business cash flow with BigTime by tracking WIP, and effectively bill throughout the project to keep the cash flow coming in. Tracking and reporting accurately in BigTime allows users to give customers peace of mind that their investment is worthwhile, eliminating any objections to payment.
Users can manage contractors, and invite them to join the project team as needed, and track their time per project. BigTime's expert consultants will walk users through how BigTime can be used in their business to truly optimize business workflow.

Accounts Receivable/Accounting Manager BigTime Review (Not project management)
Reviewed on 10/03/2021
The training was really amazing. And the capabilities made it well worth the switch from Productive.
The training was really amazing. And the capabilities made it well worth the switch from Productive.
Pros
The customization and the ability to track just about anything you want for project management, profitability and invoicing. And the integration with Quickbooks.
Cons
I wish more fields were customizable. The handful that they allow you to rename are great, but more would be better! I wish there was a 45 day training session to ask questions that arise after using for a bit.
Reasons for Choosing BigTime
Productive was very limited, and the budgeting side was terribly difficult to navigate especially with our high volume of monthly retainersSwitched From
ProductiveReasons for Switching to BigTime
I was not part of the research that was done. I was given the final choice to test and work with the sale rep to ensure that it performed the way we needed it to. If I was not happy we would have gone back to the drawing board. But, I know one of our main objectives is to track project profitability and this is so far doing what we needed it to do.- Industry: Construction

The online real-time time entry makes it easy to record your time as you go. There is also an application that allows me to enter time or submit my time anytime. Very easy to use. It's the best time entry I have used over the last 20 years.
Cons
I would love to say something but found nothig negative. Everybody in the team loves this tool.

Overall this is for big company's with employees over 100 plus to time manage them but need a better system for invoicing.
Pros
I like that you are able to create your own engagements per client.
Cons
I least like the invoice part as it does not function how it is suppose too. There are to many steps for it to be integrated into QuickBooks.

Thanks so much for this review- we really appreciate hearing from all our customers here at BigTime!

Best thing my company ever did

Now that we have made the switch to BigTime, we have begun to realize how much time was wasted using spreadsheets, outdated time tracking software, a different project management tool for each project. We are saving time and endless headaches.
Pros
Prior to BigTime, my organization used a hodgepodge of systems to track time, track expenses, and invoice. Having all three of those in one spot has saved us 40+ man-hours a month. The customer service is also fantastic. Our implementation specialist, [SENSITIVE CONTENT ] is very easy to work with and really knows his stuff.
Cons
Coming from a mess of different tools and consolidating into one simple, easy to use tool, it is really hard for me to say what can be improved at this point.
