Editor's Note: February's editorial focus is on Time-tracking. This is part of a series of articles covering almost 60 apps for QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop this month. Stay tuned!
Timance tracks time and billing for all of your locations, jobs, sub-contractors and employees using a mobile field app. Its integration with QuickBooks Online allows for easy invoicing and contractor bill payments. It offers simple time tracking in which each time punch using the app is automatically mapped.
In addition, the app tracks time spent gathering materials as well as location-to-location travel. The employees' end-of-day clock-out produces a report that summarizes their work completed during the day.
QuickBooks Online integration focuses on both synchronization of employee time for payroll purposes and synchronization of time and expenses for purposes of customer invoicing. While the Timance website is very limited in information, it is not limited in access to its extensive library of YouTube videos.
Essentially, it has configured its more information and help to be 100% YouTube-based, other than technical support via email and online chat.
Watching one of the YouTube videos covering QBO integration, I wondered why someone would take the extra coding steps inside Timance while reviewing the time entries before sending the data to QuickBooks rather than simply adjusting the billing after it was posted inside QBO?
But I really wondered why the coding could not be set up as either part of the actual time-entry capture with the other recorded information or mapped between the various existing Timance fields and the QuickBooks data used for billing purposes?
You will not find much information at the Timance landing page of the Intuit QuickBooks App Store other than some snapshots and a YouTube. As I said, the Timance website is not that informative either, but if you think you want to give Timance a try, its website has a link to sign-up without any credit-card required and a link to all those related YouTubes.
After watching a half-dozen of their YouTube videos, you might decide this time-tracking app is perfect for you.
