Timesheet Management
Capabilities

categorized in various ways
(billable, time rate, work
site, etc.) to allow for direct
billing and reporting from
CRM. Timesheets can be
linked to customer
accounts, service cases,
users or teams.
Full Interaction History
The details of every interaction are
tracked in CRM, including SLAs and key
renewal dates, so your employees can
take proactive action. All past and
upcoming appointments and service
activities are tracked against the
relevant customer records.
