Over the past couple of weeks, the Bill4Time staff and members of the Bill4Time user community have been testing the new version of Bill4Time. Now, we need your help to discover any last minute issues before releasing the new version to everyone. Anyone who wants early access the chance to start using it.

To access the new version, visit this link: https://secure.bill4time.com/b4t2/

You will still be able to access the existing version of Bill4Time by logging in normally through the Bill4Time website. Most importantly, both versions of Bill4Time use the same database. Any changes you make in one version will be reflected in the other. This makes it easy for one person in a company to try out the new version while the rest of the company continues using the existing version.

You can log in using your existing firm credentials or create a new free account. As you use the new system, notice the “Beta Feedback” link in the header of every page. Use this link to notify us if you encounter any issues.

Your help is greatly appreciated by the entire Bill4Time team and we look forward to your feedback!

If you do run into any problems or need assistance, give us a call at 1-877-245-5484 or email us at support@bill4time.com.

Be a Part of the Development Process

Before launching the new system to everyone, we are looking for individuals or entire firms who are willing to try out the beta version and provide us with feedback as we put on the finishing touches. You can opt-out at anytime. We just need your comments and learn of any issues you have while using the new system.

Easy Transition

To help in the transition, current users will have the option to continue using the existing Bill4Time system until they are comfortable with the new version. Although we will continue to support the exisitng version of our time tracking software, new features will only be available with Bill4Time 2.0. In upcoming Bill4Time blog posts, we’ll give further explanations of new features, walk you through the new interface, and more!

Here at Bill4Time, we are always eager to bring you new features to help you with your time tracking and time billing software needs. Just recently, we’ve introduced the “Firm Setup Wizard” to help new users get started, and our users in the legal industry can appreciate the LEDES File Export. Here are a few more features that we will be releasing soon:

Improved UI

Billing should be as simple and effortless as possible. So to help you accomplish your tasks, we will be cleaning and organizing many of the screens inside Bill4Time to maximize your efficiency. But don’t worry – the screens will remain familiar as not to interfere with your workflow.

iCal Support

Many of you have been requesting a way to sync your Bill4Time Scheduler events with your current scheduling systems (eg: Apple iCal, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook). Bill4Time is listening and making this happen. Simply subscribe to your calendar feed and your external application will be continuously updated.

Invoice Customization

Soon, Bill4Time customers will have full control over their invoices. Change the color, font, size, style and layout of each invoice. Create unique invoices for each client and project, or have a single invoice for all your work.

Report Generator

Sometimes companies need special reports that go beyond the library of reports found in the Bill4Time time billing software. Using our Report Generator, you will be able to access all your data within Bill4Time to create customized charts and graphs.

Training Articles and Videos

Coming soon, users will have access to step-by-step training for every feature in Bill4Time. We will provide PDFs and screen-casts that guide you through the system. You’ll have high-definition videos to download and share with your entire team. Just like your remote access to track billable time, you will be able to transfer the tutorial video to your phone or media player for access wherever you are! We will also soon begin offering live, online training sessions for all users.

Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more information! And as always, you can send feedback and suggestions to support@bill4time.com or give us a call at 1-877-Bill4Time (International: +1-646-201-4911).
