DATATIME

Time Recording and Billing


DATATIME is designed to meet the time recording, costing, billing and management information requirements of both service providers and their clients. DATATIME is in daily use in more than 60 organisations throughout the public, not-for-profit and private sectors. Four methods of time and activity data capture are available:

  • direct entry via the workstation using PopUpPLUS
  • palm top computers (PDAs) both stylus (PopUpPDA) and scanner (PopUpSDIO) operated
  • C-Pen portable bar code reader/text scanner

and traditional hand-completed timesheets in a variety of formats.

These four interchangeable options ensure that the optimum method of data capture is available whatever the requirements and working patterns of individual staff members. All four methods can be used in any combination and all offer full access to all the file and coding structures offered by DATATIME.

PopUp SDIO comprising a PDA with barcode scanner attachment is the latest development in our product range and more details on this exciting enhancement to our data capture options can be found here.

The powerful features of the C-Pen can be reviewed in detail here and the functions provided through DATATIME and the PopUpPDA application are described here.

The workstation feature PopUpPLUS is an always-available desktop function which is accessed by clicking a desktop shortcut or the coloured clock face tell-tale displayed in the System Tray.

DATATIME through its powerful client/case database structure, offers a flexible matrix based approach to costing and charging which operates at the file, case or task level and by fee earner, activity and work type. Costs and charges can be calculated in various combinations of time, units or fixed fee and can be recorded in client selectable time units varying from 1 to 99 minutes.

An SQL database at the heart of DATATIME coupled with a comprehensive suite of more than 100 management information reports plus Crystal Reports® - a user friendly ad-hoc report generator - guarantees instant, easy access to any information you may need, on demand. Our built-in interface allows all popular spreadsheet and word processing packages to read any of the DATATIME files and ensures simple and easy integration with existing accounting and office systems.

In order to meet the performance monitoring and reporting requirements of Best Value DATATIME provides an easy to set up and use system of user designed milestone templates and a full suite of performance analysis and monitoring reports.

DATATIME includes powerful, flexible billing routines which can be tailored to suit the user's particular invoicing requirements. Bills can be produced in a variety of formats with the option of setting billing limits by work type.
