ClokBox 7.5 (Mac)

Overview:

ClokBox is a new easy-to-use, server-based time management application. It is designed to help project teams or workgroups track and manage their time spent on projects. ClokBox is unlike most other shareware applications out there, in that it collects the time that many workers spend on various projects. Project managers or team leads, then, can track the time spent by entire teams. It is web-enabled, which allows it to be run on a single computer. Individual team members then submit their time to it automatically over the Internet. ClokBox is designed to accept submissions from TimeBox, which is a single-user time tracking application. Workers track their time using TimeBox; then they periodically submit their time to ClokBox, either manually, with just the click of a button, or automatically, based on preset daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Workers don't need to use the TimeBox application to submit time. Instead, if desired, workers can submit their time to ClokBox through any standard Web browser. ClokBox can help teams generate and track their invoices. To help with this, ClokBox allows the customization of fixed and variable expense categories. You can then add and track expenses that are incurred, as well as fixed-cost fees that should be billed to the client. Invoice generation is easily through ClokBox. Invoices can be saved for future adjustment and, after sent to the client, can be monitored for payment ClokBox offers many additional features, including the 'QwikMessage' instant messaging capability, which enhances communication among team members. Advanced reporting features allow administrators to easily create customized reports in a variety of formats. And easy backup capabilities help ensure that the data remains safe. But don't let those features scare you off. Because first and foremost, ClokBox is designed to be easy to use, both by the administrator and by the individual team members. ClokBox has its own built-in webserver and database, which means that no other components need to be installed. ClokBox is also designed to run on any computer... servers, desktops, laptops, etc. Setup is a snap, and requires no more expertise than it takes to, say, use a word processor or spreadsheet program. Finally, the price is extremely affordable.
