Industry
Specific Features: Because BillQuick is designed
to work in an Architect and Engineer's office, there
are significant industry specific features in our
products that will help you manage your business
processes efficiently. Here are just a few:
-
Project
Phases: Large projects are often done in
phases. An Architect might divide a large
project into phases: Schematic Design,
Design Development, Construction Documents and
Construction Administration. BillQuick project
phases give you the power to track and report
for each phase separately as well a consolidated
report for all phases for a project.
-
Multiple Timers:
BillQuick allows you to run unlimited number of
timers and then with a single click, record time
to your time card. In addition to the Timers in
BillQuick, you can record time via the
conventional time sheet screen with power to
make a time entry in as little as two key
strokes.
-
Joint
Invoice: Often you will have more than one active
project per client. However the client prefers a single
invoice for all his active projects rather than
multiple invoices. BillQuick
has the ability to create a single consolidated
Joint Invoice with details about each
project separated neatly.
-
Phased
Percent Complete Invoice: Clients in
your industry often require to seeing the
percentage completed on each phase, amount
previously billed, and amount due this
billing (earned value - previously billed).

Budget Comparison Reports where your
project budget line items are compared with

Consultants: As an Architect or
Engineer you often require services
of other consultants to complete the
project. BillQuick has the ability
to track your invoices from your
sub-consultants and then bill to the
client with agreed markup. BillQuick
will also track the sub's cost to
the project in Budgets and Estimates
as well as their progress toward
completion.
-
Project
Address: BillQuick
Project has address fields. Architects and
Engineers have projects that can be at a

client but also depending on what task you were
involved in. To handle this functionality

create and assign to your client record.

client with several active projects. BillQuick
allows you to link unlimited client contacts per
client. Associating that client contact to a
project will then allow you to send invoices and
statements to the contact.
-
Security: Need for securing data exists
in almost every Architectural and
Engineering firm, and with BillQuick it is
simple and easy. While the principals and
managers may need higher level access to
BillQuick, a typical employee may need
access to time and expense screens only.
With easy to apply role based security, you

built-in powerful submittal and approval
process. Employees can submit their time and
