Client Management System (CMS) is a powerful database for managing clients, projects,
phone calls, and time records. It was designed for attorneys with the help of an
attorney... but it can be used by most any business needing to track clients, projects,
and time/expense records.
CMS is easy to install, learn, and use. It will save you time and money, but
above all... it will help you maintain accurate records because CMS:
- Eliminates the drudgery of writing time records, phone records, and expenses by hand.
- You can, of course, always write these by hand
and enter them into CMS at your convenience.
- Eliminates errors in addition.
- Reduces billing rate mistakes.
- Reduces and/or eliminates errors in recording and maintaining:
- Time.
- Expenses.
- Client Credits.
The base package includes the following six (6) integrated
modules:
- Billing Descriptions and
Charges -- describes charges (hourly and flat rate)
and expenses (mileage, copies, etc.).
- Clients -- records various
information about your clients.
- Client Billing Account
-- records credits and debits.
- Projects -- describes a
client's various projects.
- Time Keepers --
describes those allowed to enter time records.
- Time Records --
records time records, phone slips (non-billable time
records), expenses, and credits given to a client.
Like we say... "CMS is the ultimate software package
for managing clients, projects, phone calls, and time records."
