Hey guys, Mike from Standard Time®.  Timesheets, that is, thanks for coming back.

Are you a consultant?  Or work for a consulting firm?

If so, you probably send invoices to your clients.  Electronic invoices, right?  PDF’s?

Did you know that within Standard Time you can actually produce customized invoices? You heard that right; customized invoices just for your company.

You can put your company logo right on the invoice. You can rearrange things to match your corporate style; company name, address, city, state.

You can show as much detail as you want or just summaries.  Easy!

I found Standard Time to be a great consulting tool.

My name’s Mike!  I hope you’ll give Standard Time a try today!

Consultant Billing Rates

Hello Consultants!

This is a timesheet.  And this is a consultant.  And another, and another.

They all use the same Standard Time® time tracking app.

But do they all have the same client billing rates?

No!

Each consultant can have their own rate.  And each consultant can even have different rates for each project.  And different roles.

Ah, but what if one consultant uses the Web interface, and another uses the iOS?  Or Android?

Doesn’t matter.

How about the Windows client app?

Doesn’t matter!  Standard Time handles it all.  Each consultant bills uniquely for the projects they work on.

That’s the magic of Standard Time.  The consultant’s favorite timesheet.

Hello consultants!  My name’s Mike with Standard Time®. And I’m a consultant like you.

Do you sell blocks of support time to your clients?  I’m talking about selling blocks of hours for supporting networks, or computers, or equipment?

A lot of consulting firms do this.

But did you know you can do it within Standard Time?  Standard Time is a great new timesheet with lots of options.

So here we’re selling 250 hours to Pioneer Mechanical

1,000 hours to Basic Printing

And 500 hours to Simple Design

When the hours are gone, we sell another block.  Standard Time handles this like a dream!

Great for tech consulting.

Hey, there!  I’m Mike with Standard Time®.

I have a completely new idea for manufacturing and assembly line shops.

Barcode scanning! That’s right; let’s take a look.

Do you ever wonder how long it takes to assemble a product or how long each work order takes?

Try barcoding your work orders, and then scanning them with Standard Time.

That’s right!  Standard Time has a barcode interface.

As your work order goes down the line, scan it with a barcode reader.

When you do, Standard Time starts and stops a timer.  It keeps track of the time.

You’ll be surprised!

Microsoft Project Timesheet

Hey, Microsoft Project fans, I’m Mike with Standard Time®.

Did you know that the Standard Time Timesheet integrates with Microsoft Project?

Microsoft Project makes MPP files.  And Standard Time imports them.

Actually, it talks directly to MS Project and pulls down the MPP resources and tasks.

Look at this.  The Standard Time app gets your tasks from MS Project, makes sure the resource assignments connect with employees and shows them in the timesheet.

Then everything goes to the cloud where they can actually read them on their smart phones. It’s like publishing your MPP files to all the employees that are working on them and then getting actual hours back. How nice is that?

Utilization Rates

Well, hello there in YouTube Land. I’m Mike with Standard Time®, thanks for coming back.

Are you managing a consulting company?  Or work for one?

Then you’ve probably familiar with the term ‘Utilization rates’.  I found a utilization report within the Standard Time Timesheet that I want to share with you.

Take a look.

Using this chart you can tell right away that you’re making more revenue from Brandon than Josh.

You can see that the scheduled hours are about the same.  Actual hours are almost the same.

But look at Brandon’s billable percentage. It’s a lot higher than Josh’s. That’s because Brandon’s billable utilization is higher.

Want a nice report like this?  Standard Time has it.

It has billing rates for each consultant; and records the number of hours that they’ve spent working.  So you get a great utilization report just like this.

Better Than a Spreadsheet

Hey I’m Mike with Standard Time thanks so much for joining me!

Are you using a spreadsheet to track your employee’s time?

I have a better way.  It’s called Standard Time®.  Let me show you a few things.

1. You can’t sync mobile devices with a spreadsheet. Within Standard Time you can.
2. Billing rates are impossible to keep up with. Do you have different billing rates for each client? It gets ugly pretty fast. Standard Time makes this easy to organize and keep in order.
3. Spreadsheets don’t look for user mistakes. That’s because it’s not a timesheet. Standard Time is a real timesheet and it’s made to look for those mistakes.
4. No project status. A spreadsheet won’t give you charts and graphs and tell you where you’re at. Standard Time does.
5. Got web access? No matter where you’re employee are at; whether working in the field or they’re working from home they can clock in and out and you can keep a status of where they’re at with their projects.

I hope you’ll take the time to look at Standard Time. Give it a free trial, download it. I’m Mike with Standard Time, see you next time!
