Other time tracking and timesheet applications have features that help you keep track of where your time has gone. This works if you just want to create an invoice for a client, but not so much if you’re trying to run more successful (and profitable) projects.
Tick is the only time tracking solution that empowers you with the knowledge of where your time should go, and helps you keep track of how you are meeting your goals.
It does this with project and task budget tracking, which is much more a philosophy than a feature. By setting time budgets and then tracking time against them, you’re constantly in-the-know about how much profit you’ll make on a project.
A client just signed off on your $10,000 estimate, which you based on 2 numbers:
Other time tracking applications will help you create tasks and track time towards them, but in order to see how well you’re doing against your 100 hour estimate (the real measure of successful progress), you have to either run or a report or be really good at tracking numbers in your head.
Tick, on the other hand, is focused on helping you hit your 100 hour estimate. It does this by giving you a quick way to create tasks and give them individual time budgets. It then provides budget details along with each time entry to help you keep track of how each task is affecting your overall budget.
Finish your project in 110 hours, and you are only getting paid: $90/ hour (your project lost $1000).
Finish in 90 hours, and you just made an extra $11/ hour or $1100 over the life of the project. Nice work!
