DATABASICS Time & Expense

"Time saver, easy to use"

Comments: Information at your finger tips, easy to use.

Pros: Leave Management has been such a great add for our company. It allows each employee to see how much PTO they accumulate per pay period, how much they used and when they would max out. It makes each employee responsible for managing their own PTO.
We can customize it to our needs. We have different accrual rates for length of service, as well as exceptions to the rule. Set them up once, assign them to the employee and it all works!
Customer support is amazing and responds very quickly when you need assistance.

"The product works and functions as needed for this organization. Customer support is top drawer."

Comments: 1. Automated time and expense tracking with solid interfaces to/from various other applications.
2. Improved (over the course of many years) end user time and expense interface.
3. Hosted environment with the database custody proviso.
4. Top drawer customer support

Pros: I like most:
1. Customer Support through the Databasics support website/portal
2. Application stability - little to no downtime
3. Application functionality
4. Ease of administration
5. End user experience We have a 360+ employee user pool who all use the time sheets with a good portion of that total also using the expense reporting. We have used Databasics since version 4x, through the years upgrading to version 5x and now version 6x in the hosted environment. The application is generally easy to use, in most cases, requiring only a brief initial orientation and from there, minimal end user support for the application. Many employees have taken advantage of the mobile application to enter either time or expenses while traveling and this was a welcome functional addition received with version 6x. Receipt imaging and organization was another welcome addition. We extract and interface expense data (weekly) and time sheet data (semi-monthly) from Databasics to our accounting application. We also import and interface organizational data (employee information, accounting structural data, etc...) into Databasics from both our accounting and HRIS applications. While managing these interfaces requires some training, assistance is always available if needed.

Cons: User feedback indicates that the time sheet form could be improved. The one recurring complaint/suggestion sine version 4x is that time sheet lines cannot be drag-n-drop managed for user sorting preferences. As an administrator, I dislike the fact that I no longer have physical custody of the database for other analysis or reporting needs. All ad hoc reporting must be done through the embedded Jasper reporting application. This generally meets the needs but is sometimes inconvenient to use.

"It's very handy"

Pros: I love that they have an app for smartphones. It makes things so much easier.

Cons: There have been times it locked up, but it's rare. And less frequent lately.

"Databasics is a good product."

Comments: Databasics was user friendly for our employees.

Pros: Easy for employees to access remotely.
Good customer service.

Cons: Sometimes difficult to understand how to make changes in the system.

"DB has solved our issues with managing utilization, labor billing and expense reports"

Comments: HR compliance for hourly employees, time off management, electronic expense reports that seamlessly upload to our financial software, labor utilization by employees, departments and projects

Pros: Integration with Microsoft Dynamics/Solomon Project Controller and Financial Accounting is seamless and easy to manage

Cons: I think the report writing can be a little challenging and output not always pretty but it does work
