Timeslips by Sage 2010: Better Than Ever at Turning Time Into MoneyTimeslips 2010 Box Shot Front

 

Timeslips 2010 captures time quickly and accurately, leading to greater productivity and increased revenue.  The reports in Timeslips 2010 present critical information that promotes better understanding of your business. 

 

NEW! Client Default Rates Report

See the default billing rate level for each client.  This useful resource for billing staff can help ensure clients and timekeepers are setup properly.

 

NEW! Clients Not Billed Report

This report shows all clients that were not billed during previous billing cycles.  By identifying which clients have not been billed, this report can help prevent lost revenue.

 

ENHANCED! Customizable Section on Bills

Timeslips 2010 offers additional viewable fields for customizable sections on bills, so you can include the last bill date, last payment amount, and last payment ID to this section on a customer's bill. 

 

ENHANCED! Purge Feature

Hand-select the data that should be purged from your database.  In previous versions, all closed data would have to be purged, but now you can select closed names, such as client or timekeeper, to remove them from the database.

 

IMPROVED! E-mail Bills and Statements 

When e-mailing bills, users can now change the e-mail subject line to include custom information, like the invoice number and the client name.

 

IMPROVED! Rate Analysis Report

This report now allows the additional breakdown of rates up to two additional levels for reporting purposes. 

 

Please visit the quick links section for more details and be on the lookout for special offers from Sage on this upgrade!  The new version should be shipping at the end of June.  Questions?  Contact Allen Hardon.

I hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day holiday and best wishes for the summer season from all of us at Sherwood Systems!

 

Please note the Timeslips training class schedule for May 29 through August 28.  The most current training information can be found on our Timeslips Classes page.  Please don't hesitate to contact me for specialized training at our training center or in your office.  Also note that Timeslips classes will be taught on Timeslips 2009 by Sage utilizing the Timeslips 2009 by Sage training guides.  

 

Are you looking for a cost effective way to customize Time Matters to your practice?  If so,  consider the purchase and implementation of practice area templates from IP Associates or OTB Consulting.  Practice area templates are user-friendly and efficient and will save thousands of dollars compared to starting from scratch.

 

The Timeslips by Sage Online Community is now operational.  Its mission is to enable all customers of Timeslips by Sage to interact with one another.  This is your Timeslips community, so jump in and join a discussion or share your experiences so we can all learn from each other!

 

Lastly, please note that I will be on summer vacation starting Thursday June 18 returning to the office on Monday July 13.  Please be sure to schedule any services you need soon so I can take care of you in a timely fashion.  As always, I will have colleagues available to assist as necessary and I will be available in an emergency. 

Tips & Tricks

The Time Matters Service Center and Support Center are great resources available to help you with your Time Matters software.  In addition, the CIC Solutions Forum provides a wealth of information related to this great application.
