### About SpringAhead

SpringAhead is a time-tracking solution designed to help small to large organizations manage multiple time types, track overtime or vacation, perform job costing and prepare expense reports.

The solution lets managers monitor mileage and project expenses and itemize the transactions. Users can save receipts and add them to a specific expense report or an individual line item. Using the itemization tools, users can divide the costs for each project along with personal and business charges.

SpringAhead offers integrations with third-party payroll providers including PayChex and SurePayroll, enabling users to import data from these systems.

#### Pros

The software is easy to use and works as intended. The integration with QuickBooks is flawless. SpringAhead is a good stable but very basic software that you can rely on.

#### Cons

They made no changes to the software in the 6 years that we used them. Things to improve upon include PTO accrual options, Mobile App, increased attachment sizes, time off requests, city/state and vendor confirmation within the expense system, and more... SpringAhead made it clear to us that they have to intention of making some of these changes. They are falling behind the times. Check them out... their most recent blog post on their website is 3 years old.

1) Sometimes, even though time sheet was uploaded successfully, but it says error in uploading which gives wrong impression. 2) Probably more secured password pattern should be used.

### Virthual Time for timesheet reporting

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Buckley F.
- Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified
- Reviewed: July 2009
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I found this software to be much better than Time Tracker because my staff has to submit a lot of Expense reports. Time Tracker did not allow them to submit both Time Sheets and Expense Reports. Virtual Time allows them to submit both and I can approve them and download them into Quickbooks at the same time. Virtual Time is synched with my Quickbooks so that all of our clients and services are already there in the drop down menu for my staff.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

My employees can enter their time via the web from home and I can use Virtual Time to download their time into Quickbooks saving me a lot of time and energy. My payroll company capital-accouting.com has a deal with this company saving me a lot of time and money in the set-up and Virtual Time has been responsive with any issues I have had in editing it to fit my needs.

#### Cons

The Notes section of Expense reports does not translate over to Quickbooks, so I have to re-enter that information when I create the Invoices on Quickbooks. The people at Virtual Time are trying to create and end run around this issue. I did have my accounting/payroll company set it up for me, as that part was somewhat complicated.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

SpringAhead is very easy to use from the very beginning. When I onboard new employees, it takes very little training to get them started.

#### Cons

I don't understand how to use their pay rates, etc. I tried to set them up for our hourly employees, but I did something wrong.
