Swen Roethlisberger, Floowedit
Works for me!
I recently transitioned from full-time employee to ‘consultant’. Needed an app to track projects, tasks and generate billing based on our agreement. TMetric handles this elegantly and I can access from my iPhone, iPad or PC- awesome!
Jim Rolph, Manufacturer's Representative at Gorman Company
After five months we are very happy with the app and will gladly renew the service. We are still finding new uses for it within our organization and it’s been pivotal for helping us gather better decision-making information, grow our topline and reduce our bottomline.
Galeno Chua, The Idea Founding Principal
There are plenty of available applications to monitor working time. We chose TMetric because of the suitable price and compatibility with Trello and Google Documents, which we use every day in our company.
