Would you like to capture time accounting data with very little user effort? If this product does not suit your needs why not try time instead?

Features:

• Time accounting software designed to capture and process data with minimal effort by the user. This software has been developed as a direct result of the lack of user (person who must record their time) friendly software available to do this task.

• The software (MS Access database) is simple to use and administer but provides accurate time accounting data due to the minimal effort required on the part of the user.

Once the data is collected it can be viewed in summary format or exported to MS Word for further formatting.  Reports can be produced for current projects or closed projects over a user selectable time period, monthly or period of days. This is achieved from the summary screen shown below:

The admin screen provides administration functions for the user such as; creating new projects, changing a projects status from current to old, selecting the default project, setting the reminder time period, switching the reminder on/off.

Within MS Project, the real progress can be compared against the predicted progress. It can also be used to improve the planning process by provided accurate historical data from which more accurate predictions can be made. MS Project integration functions include:
