Pros

“The system provides useful tools for improving productivity and maintaining better visibility into business activities.”

Janapher S.

Operations Specialist

“The simplicity of logging hours, sorting the task, and being able to add notes for accurate billing and invoicing.”

Colby F.

Architectural Technologist

“The reporting and visibility into project performance are also valuable for making better business decisions.”

Janapher S.

Operations Specialist

Pros

“Depending on which card service merchant is used, clients can pay online and the payment is credited to their account immediately. ”

Jane O.

Office Manager

“Also, have the new time entry intuitively in line with the other time entries so it flows to put in multiple time entries without having to go to the top menu to add a new entry.”

James F.

Senior Tax Accountant

“Decreased the amount of time spent looking for files and time keeping was better.”

Jane O.

Office Manager

Cons

“As an example, when we are now trying to decide which project and phase we want to select, we are faced with a list that compresses information like client, project manager, etc, which is not relevant to our selection. Because of space constrains, we no longer can see the full text of the projects and phases, which makes it very difficult to figure out which phase we want to select. ”

Carmela C.

Accountant-administrator

“It is particularly bad on Monday mornings when the employees are trying to complete their timecards from the week before.”

Carmela C.

Accountant-administrator

“Needs to improve features like adding email to each project; being able to make notes only visible to us on an invoice; seeing payment dates while looking at invoice (this takes several steps by going to the project tab); CORE can be slow and I find I have to enter 2-3 times before it will respond (Server issue?); Being able to create our own "template" for what assignments need to be used when creating a project and there's more not specified here.”

Melidee H.

Accounting Manager

Cons

“A bit "laggy" accessing our firm page at times due to technical issues caused by Microsoft servers, items outside the control of TPS. ”

Dwayne U.

Partner

“Some of the functions were less user friendly than others and it took calls to TPS to clarify. But overall, very little to dislike.”

Sandra M.

Office Manager

“it's a little slow when you start typing in a client name as it's trying to find it in the database.”

Graham A.
