Mptime is a truly paperless, web-based consulting software system.  With mptime, it does not matter whether the consultant or supervisor is working from home, at a client site, or traveling. They have access to their mptime consulting software for timesheet form entry from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Timesheet forms
At many consulting companies the end of every billing cycle finds consultants scrambling to get their time entered on a timesheet form and turned in to the correct person. Consultants frequently go to their calendar and e-mail to reconstruct billable activities, then copy-and-paste, or manually enter the information onto a timesheet form. All too often, this results in lost revenue as activities are overlooked, forgotten, and therefore not accurately billed.

With paper-based time capture systems, consultants struggle to produce timesheet forms in a timely fashion, and clients find it a challenge to review and approve them promptly. By using RapidTime, consultants can track their time while they’re working – one mouse click to start the clock, a few clicks to select the project, activity, and task, and another mouse click when you finish. Time captured via RapidTime is automatically added to the mptime timesheet form database when an Internet connection is made.

With mptime’s automated timesheet form submission reminder and routing, the entire process can take as little as a few seconds. Mptime allows you to determine whether a consultant should submit timesheets on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, semi-monthly, or annual basis. Within mptime, this timesheet period determines how often the consultant needs to submit timesheet forms for approval; the timesheet period does not have to match the consultant’s pay period. As soon as the consultant’s timesheet period has elapsed, the system provides a friendly reminder informing the consultant that their timesheet form needs to be submitted. 

RapidTime let’s consultants track time even when they are not connected to the Internet. A special PDA version of mptime’s timesheet forms also allows consultants to keep track of billable time when they do not have access to a PC.

Consulting Software 
Mptime consulting software includes an easy to use yet powerful mechanism for review and sign-off of consultant time. Timesheets can be routed to multiple managers and optionally, your client. Managers can approve or un-approve specific time entries or the entire timesheet form. Unapproved time is routed back to the consultant, within the consulting software, for correction and resubmission. This simplifies your organization’s review, editing, and sign-off process.

As soon as a user logs into mptime they are provided with a notification of any tasks that are coming due, or tasks that are past due. Mptime consulting software also interfaces with Outlook© Calendar. RapidTime allows users to add tasks to their Outlook© Calendar with one mouse click. This allows users to schedule their own task reminders.

Once your consultants begin using mptime and see how easy this consulting software solution is to use, you will have a clearer picture of:

* which consultants are working on what projects,
* which consultants are underutilized or available for new assignments,
* which consultants are responsible for specific tasks,
* how consultants spend their time on a day to day basis
