Hours and projects

Log your hours, rebill them in one click

Register hours against a project, mark whether they're billable and keep an immediate eye on budget and progress.

When it's time to invoice, rebill the logged hours to your client with a single click, with no need to retype them into a separate invoice.

That way you can see exactly per project how many hours went into it, what's already been invoiced and what's still outstanding.

  • Log hours in seconds

    Register hours against a project with just a few fields, billable or not.

  • Rebill in one click

    Turn logged hours directly into an invoice line.

  • Budget and progress at a glance

    See straight away per project what's been spent against the budget.

Why writing hours afterwards always yields too little

Whoever fills in hours at the end of the week is guessing. And whoever guesses, guesses low: the fifteen minutes on the phone with the customer, the drive to the wholesaler and the half hour waiting for the key disappear. At sixty euros an hour, every forgotten quarter is fifteen euros that never reaches an invoice.

In TelMaar you log hours in the moment, on your phone, with a start and stop button or a quick entry per job. Every hour is attached to a job or a project and to a rate, so there is nothing to reconstruct later.

How projects and billing hours work in practice

A project is a collection of jobs for the same customer, for example a three-month renovation. Per project you see the logged hours against the budget, and you notice in time when a project is getting out of hand instead of at the final settlement.

Billing is one click: the logged hours become invoice lines at the rate that belongs to the customer, and internal hours stay off the invoice. If the customer wants a breakdown, the hours overview goes along as an attachment. That way everyone knows what the bill is based on.

Frequently asked questions about this feature

How do I bill the hours I logged?

You select the hours that have not been invoiced yet and put them on an invoice with one click. What was already billed cannot slip in twice.

Can I use different rates?

Yes. You set a rate per employee, per client or per project, and the hourly rate follows from that when billing.

Can I see whether a project stays within budget?

Yes. Every project shows the logged hours next to the budget, so you watch it run down before the job is finished.
