DESCRIPTION

Intervals is a Web-based time tracking, task management and project management service designed and developed for web designers, graphic designers, web developers, creative agencies, IT services and similar small businesses that bill on an hourly or per project basis. Intervals is also widely adopted by in-house creative and IT departments who are held accountable for their budgets and therefore require precise and consistent time tracking and task management. Intervals was launched in 2005 and is used in over 100 countries.

FEATURES and FUNCTIONS

Comprehensive Time Tracking

Intervals uniquely integrates time tracking with task and project management functionality. Time can be tracked against tasks or projects, but it can also be tracked by type of work completed and by a free form associative category known as modules. This combination of time tracking attributes makes it incredibly easy to calculate where your time is going.

Task Management

Intervals takes a unique approach to task management by borrowing several features from more traditional bug and issue tracking systems. Tasks are more than just items on a to do list. Intervals goes beyond the functionality provided in most task management applications by adding attributes such as priority, status, owner, assignees and estimated time to completion. These additional attributes round out Intervals’ task management capabilities into a powerful system for companies who need to keep track of a myriad of details across multiple projects.

Project Management

Intervals’ primary goal is to enable project managers to cultivate successful projects, giving them clear insight into the health of each project. Project management features help projects stay under budget, open up clear channels of communication with clients, and keeps everyone on the same page when getting work done. Intervals is feature-rich enough to out-pace and distinguish itself from many of the “simple” web-based project management apps out there, while staying well away from becoming an “enterprise” level application bogged down with useless features. Intervals hits the project management sweet spot between under-simplified and over-complicated.

Invoicing

Intervals provides detailed invoices, based on time tracked and project expenses, to help companies get paid on time for the work they’ve completed. Build invoices based on actual time tracking data or create your own line items on a free form invoice. Use Intervals to send the invoice to your clients, along with follow-up reminders, until you’ve been paid. Intervals aims to make it easier for companies to get paid early and often to help regulate cash flow.

Document Sharing

One important aspect of project management is team collaboration. Intervals includes ample storage space for sharing documents — design comps, screenshots, copy — with other members on your team. The ability to upload and share documents with co-workers and clients is just one more invaluable feature helpful for managing the day-to-day workflow of a small business.

Powerful Reporting

Perhaps the most useful feature Intervals boasts is its powerful reporting. Several different reports, including both charts and graphs, offer up detailed insight into every aspect of every minute of time tracked. Find out which people have been working on which projects, or which clients are taking up the most of your time. Whatever it is you want to know about your time, tasks and projects, the reports will give you the detailed feedback you need.
