Blackberry Time Tracking


I am looking for an application for keeping track of my billable time and material for my blackberry storm. I am hoping it is something that is compatible with quickbooks.

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


i dont know of anything, I keep track of a few guys at a time just using the notes section, and the materials. That would be nice though.

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


What is the operating system of the blackberry? Does it not come with an excel-like program?

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


http://www.tsheets.com/ has been amazing.
We use iphones, but they should tailor a solution for you.
We use it with Quickbooks as well.

You can even use it with text messaging.

They have different ways of doing it,
text messaging too.
We use iphones, online. You can use a laptop too.

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


i am checking it out right now. It seems like you can only punch in and out from the phone and you cant modify your hours if you need to

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


I was also experimenting with tsheets et cetera but I missed the perfect integration into my blackberry storm.

This weekend I found timr.com which has a native blackberry client. It allows me to punch in and punch out AND I can manually change the times! The web application is also very powerful, I think its the best compared to tsheets or harvest.

Re: Blackberry Time Tracking


I hire a lot of people to work on a project basis. Started using Replicon timesheet software for time tracking, which gets exported automatically to Quickbooks so I can easily do my client billing. Very easy to use. (It has lots of bells and whistles so it can grow with your business, etc.).
