Testimonials

"If I had only one button to push in TimeFox, it would definitely be CEO Desktop! It's my daily ritual and now I can't live without it. What more do you need? This tool has been a real eye opener for my business. Thank you!"

Charles Choi

"Everything is there in one place. It's very simple and you don't have to keep opening up new files like in the old system. It used to be a struggle to complete my timesheets. I LIKE TimeFox! It's simple and doesn't take much time or effort"

Kelly Slade
Temple Scott Associates Inc.
"You continue to set impossibly high standards of customer service! I'm sure other software developers must cry themselves to sleep at night wondering how they, too, can make customers happy as quickly as you do! Thanks for the help..."

In any business, efficient use of time is the cornerstone of success. TimeFox by FunctionFox is a simple, affordable, web-based system for tracking time and expenses. Rated #1 by Creative Business, it was designed to meet the needs of small businesses and workgroups: the need for accessible, easy-to-use timesheets, flexible and powerful business tools, and comprehensive, customizable reports. TimeFox is considerably less complex and expensive than other time-tracking applications, although it provides similar features for recording time and expenses, estimating, and analysis of productivity and profitability.

Quality, Time or Money: Which one would you sacrifice if you had to?

With increasing competition for projects and higher client expectations, this question faces creative professionals more and more often. Deliver late, take a loss, or submit sub-par work.

We recently asked this question to over 20,000 creative professionals. TimeFox newsletter subscribers were evenly split between the options of "deliver late" or "go over budget." Quality, fortunately, remains, as the aspect creatives are not willing to sacrifice. (Results found at www.functionfox.com/foxpoll/)

So what forces us into these losing situations? Since the dawn of project estimating, projects have been going over budget. And deadline driven workflow can often impair your profitability.

So how can you deliver quality work on time and still make money? What if you had an easier way to control your timelines and estimates?

Consider CEO Desktop – a new addition to TimeFox that provides a clear graphical snapshot of all your project timelines, estimates and actual time & expenses. This powerful new feature presents yet another way for you to take control of your creative business and have more time to focus on the work that you love.

"CEO Desktop and TimeFox, have had a big impact on my business. Being able to see which projects are due, which are in danger of going over estimate, and who is responsible, makes it easier to stay on top. I'm happy but my employees may not be, since I can use CEO Desktop to check who's productive on a daily basis!"
