Recording time can be fun. Well almost! Drag and drop time, start/stop timers and visual schedules let you record time in a single click. Or just enter the number of hours spent if you prefer!
Drag and drop scheduling lets you move work around within a team member's schedule or between team members. You can even see job progress, view deadlines and more.
Get back your weekend! Job billing is fast and simple, and once your done Traffic will post to most leading accounting packages, freeing you up for more important things.
Traffic holds all contact details in one place. The whole team can find clients, suppliers and prospects - fast. Everything about them can be accessed from a single screen: past and current projects; invoices; sales forecasts and credit control to name a few. Traffic can even hold your mailing lists, send your emails and print your labels!
Most importantly Traffic holds details of your financial agreements with your clients. Agreed a specific design rate, discount or markup? Traffic holds it all, ensuring billing accuracy.
Traffic records every contact you have with your clients - in one place.
Ever had someone off for the week, and no-one knows what's happening?
With Traffic the whole team can see what is going on, and even look at the whole client contact history. Traffic sends emails and imports mail from Outlook,
Entourage and Mac Mail - so you see both sides of the conversation!
Every contact in Traffic has a follow up date, and can even be delegated to someone else!
Traffic quotes - fast! Traffic holds intelligent templates that understand what you are trying to quote, give you industry standard estimates and allow you to adjust your numbers accordingly. You are in control and can model the quote as you need to.
Your quote includes time, fees, external purchases and job expenses - all mailed to the client as a PDF that can mirror your stationery and house style. Consistency is guaranteed no matter who in the team is estimating. You can even group jobs together as a project and issue a single estimate to your client.
Profit is king in any market, and Traffic shows you the estimated profit on the job up front, and the real profit, in real time along with any costs incurred.
Tens of thousands of people use Traffic every day to record time - that's a lot, and we recognise that everyone is different. Traffic offers unrivaled time entry. You can drag time onto your time sheet, use a start /stop timer that minimises to a time widget on your desktop, record time with a single click on your scheduled work, or be a traditionalist and enter your time into a weekly timesheet!
In the same screen you can record on-the-job expenses, ensuring no billing opportunities are lost.
Scheduling work for a busy agency can be a challenge. Not with Traffic. Traffic automatically schedules every job, taking into account weekends and public holidays and the time it will take your client to sign off each phase!
You can view and edit schedules using clever drag and drop scheduling that lets you see deadlines, what staff are up to, the workload for each client , how jobs are progressing and more.
Clients can be sent a Gantt chart, via the online client module or a PDF, increasing visibility of deadline dates and the stages, tasks and key events that that they maybe responsible for.
Our client module lets clients access Traffic online, view project schedules, track job progress, make requests and even proof documents.
You can bill a job, or a collection of jobs (a project) in a moment. Traffic lets you bill in advance, in arrears, part bill, bill to estimate or to time actually spent on the job. You choose.
The issuing of invoices is controlled, and once agreed Traffic will produce a bill in your preferred house style and mail it off to the client by PDF.
Once your invoice is complete Traffic can post it to most leading accounting packages - Sage, MYOB, Quickbooks, Maconomy, Access Dimensions, and Concepts to name a few. If your package is not listed we have a universal export format or can write a custom export for you. Traffic records details of payment received, and even issues Credit Notes.
