About Timely

Timely is a project management software, which helps businesses of all sizes allot and schedule tasks to team members and track deliverables to visualize projects. It allows administrators to balance resources across various clients and projects according to deadlines and budget agreements.

Businesses can utilize Timely to track team performance against key productivity indicators (KPIs), generate timesheets to identify underworked or overworked employees, and share reports with relevant individuals to analyze employee performance. The system also enables managers to breakdown projects and analyze time spent on each task and track project milestones.

It offers an application programming interface (API), which lets businesses integrate the platform with MS Azure AD, Teamwork, ActiveCollab, Aha!, WorkflowMax, ZenHub, and more. Timely is available on a monthly and annual subscription basis and support is available via email, knowledgebase, and other online measures.

Timely is helpful for tracking time.

I only used this briefy. I had a client that wanted my time tracked and seemed to not trust me to log time using a spreadsheet. I did not want to download another app, and I wasnt sure if business would validate upgrading to paid subscription.

Revolutionary for Time capture

As a business owner, it is fantastic to get accurate and 'timely' submitted time sheets from staff each and every week. For the user, once you find your preferred method of capture, it is a breeze from there in.

Functionality

Pros:

The best thing about Timely is that it lets you focus on your work first, time capture second. Traditionally within an organisation with time sheets you need to constantly keep on top of your time entries or it will snowball into a big mess by the end of the week. Timely allows you to just get on with things and perhaps at the end of the week, you just approve the timesheet pre-filled for you.

Cons:

When I sign up my staff to the software it can be a little overwhelming to get your head around things, and some have had minor teething issues with the memory app tracking. Once they get going its full steam ahead.

Reasons for switching to Timely

The company was using FROM: / TO: time entries on a spreadsheet. Constantly falling behind, staff were struggling with their workloads to keep up with time entry as well. Timely promised to alleviate that, and it certainly did.

Pros:

I really like the memory function. Some days you are so busy you forget about tracking time (and thus missing income). But with memory I can easily see what I have done, when I have done it and how much time I spend on it. Clear overview of spend budget within projects.

Cons:

The reporting function could use a little more branding, now it's just a standard template.

Reasons for choosing Timely

Memory function! Better project (and budget) insights.

Timely is my go-to app to record my consulting and board hours

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I use Timely across 3 platforms - iPhone, iPad, Mac - and all work seamlessly to keep track of my billable (and unbillable) hours. The interfaces are simple to understand and to use, and I'm much more confident in my recorded time than with other methods I've used. I appreciate how hard the Timely team works to add features to the product, and the company is responsive to my questions.

Cons:

I pay a monthly subscription fee for unlimited project/client time tracking, which is great for Timely and would be fine for a consultant / lawyer / business owner who has multiple clients or projects to bill to. Most times I only have 1 or 2 projects on the go at once, and I'd like to see a "light" monthly fee added. If you have billable and non-billable hours for a project/client, you have to set up 2 different projects in order to properly tabulate the hours and invoice amounts. Timely's "tag" feature doesn't really work to keep billable and non-billable hours distinct when it comes time to determine how much to bill the client.

I like planning my time toward multiple freelance by day and project, but love I can adjust time if things change. It really helps me keep track in all of the time and resources I put toward a project. I like the ability to pull reports, seeing how much time/money was planned vs. actually accrued.

There isn't anything that I least liked. I have used customer service once in my three years of using the service and it was pretty decent,
