Joe Piekarz, President
Our outsourced service is the universal time reporting and approval alternative that is truly a SaaS (software-as-a-service) connecting any persons, from any companies, located anywhere in the world to a project via an invitation. Just configure a project in your TimeXchange.net account by answering some short questions, and providing the email addresses of team members (people who will be submitting and approving reported time on your project). TimeXchange then keeps everyone, by their role (determining the data they can see in their account), informed of their submission or approval of hours, expenses, tasks, costs, billings and allocated hours per person or per project.
There are no limits on the number of team members per project, or projects a person can add or join. All that is required is a subscription for each end user. Subscriptions are US$39.95/year or less per person with bulk promo packages available. A free trial of one project with no other limitations is currently available.
Our competition is primarily in the form of pre-formatted spreadsheets, hosted time tracking applications, and VMS (Vendor Managed Services) time reporting. Conversely we partner with selected mobile time tracking app providers, accounting and project management application publishers, payroll services, and enterprise systems integrators via a growing third-party affiliate program and their use of our APIs.
What unique selling points do you offer?
TimeXchange.net is currently the only time submission and approval solution that allows companies to share project data that is appropriate and still securely maintain their own instance of their data. In short, any company or individual can do business with any other company or individual with confidence and confidentiality -- just like people involved in the real world of business services do every day.
