Business Support Specialists, Inc.

Are you ready to capture more billable hours, increase profitability, and deliver more accurate and timely billing? Whether your organization records time through scribbled notes on a sticky pad or through limited time tracking in your accounting software, the challenges are the same: How do you know your company’s time is being captured fully and accurately? Is time capture quick and easy for your busy professionals, even when they are out of the office? Is billing timely, convenient, and easy for your clients to understand? Is it easy to pull reports?

With Sage Timeslips you get the solutions to these challenges and more. Sage Timeslips is an industry-leading time and billing solution that has been satisfying service organizations for over 25 years—and it can help your company, too!

Intuitive Time and Expense Entry

Sage Timeslips makes it easier than ever to capture all of your organization’s billable time and expenses—even when timekeepers are in the field. With its well-established feature set and user-friendly interface, Sage Timeslips is an incredibly capable and flexible solution that requires very little time to learn. After a few quick setup steps, aided by the helpful Setup Wizard, a new Sage Timeslips user can easily build a database and store vital information for each client or project in a single location for easy access, billing, and reporting.

In Sage Timeslips, time and expense entries are referred to as “slips.” Each slip contains vital information such as the timekeeper name, activity name, client name, rate/price, and time spent or quantity. Slips may also contain optional information such as activity description, estimated time, references, and markup/adjustment amounts.

Sage Timeslips makes entering time and expenses easy and efficient by:

• Turning time spent on client tasks and email into billable entries through two-way integration with Microsoft® Outlook®.
• Capturing time easily—even when one task interrupts another—with one-click stopwatch timers.
• Giving remote computer and mobile device users the ability to generate time and expense slips over the web without installing any software.
• Preventing errors with customizable rate rules based on any combination of rate, task, client, and timekeeper.
• Identifying timekeepers who haven’t met minimum requirements.

Customizable Bill Creation and Design

Sage Timeslips enables quick and easy entry of bill payments and management of the billing process. Bills may be printed for all clients or for a subset of clients, for activities within a particular date range, for individual timekeepers, or by a number of custom field criteria. And, using the built-in design tool, bills are fully customizable.

The powerful bill design tool displays a full bill on screen with simple drag-and-drop customization. Drop in your logo, add and remove fields, change fonts, and reorder sections to get just the look you—and your clients—want. Best of all, the design displayed on screen is what the printed bill will look like, so there are no surprises.

Once you’ve designed your invoice to your liking, you can easily summarize bill details on a bill layout cover page, allowing you to provide a clear, concise overview of each client’s bill. This cover page can summarize client-specific details, such as the amount due and current balance, in any format you choose.

And finally, you can send bills and statements to your clients by email and in a number of different industry-standard formats, including LEDES 98 and Legal Solutions Suite.

Sage Timeslips makes managing billing, balances, and payments easy and efficient by:

• Offering a variety of billing arrangements including contingency, flat fee, and hourly.
• Directly editing bills during the billing review process.
• Automatically generating envelopes or labels during the billing process.
