Allocate resources with more data at hand

Bring more of your own organization’s data into your resource allocation decisions 

Compare allocated hours to input hours in a side-by-side view 

Easily view your allocated hours alongside input hours within the allocation editor. With a single click, you can enable the "show actuals" option to display actuals in smaller text next to the allocated hours in a larger text format.

Explore projected fees within the allocation editor

We've introduced projected fees to the allocation editor. Now, in a single glance, you can see how allocated hours influence both project progress and budgets in real time. Gain a deeper understanding of resource planning and ensure alignment with fee budgets more effectively. 

Improve project management processes and client interactions

Provide a superior client experience while optimizing project management processes with labor code descriptions that can auto-populate as timesheet notes 

Add labor code descriptions and create timesheet notes automatically 

You can now enter a detailed description for a labor code to clarify any related details, including its purpose or usage. Labor codes can also automatically populate your timesheet notes when that labor code is selected on the time entry. System admins can choose to make these notes visible to clients on related invoices for increased control, better client communication, and more descriptive invoices to minimize disputes.  

Streamline operations between HubSpot and BigTime 

Unify your key data by connecting your CRM, HubSpot, with BigTime, your operations hub

Import customized HubSpot pipelines into BigTime to streamline operations 

You can now bring specific HubSpot pipelines into BigTime, enabling seamless workflow automation, efficient resource allocation, and less redundant work. This update makes it easier to simplify the management of your sales cycle or marketing and/or customer service processes.
