Features Overview
Track time with little effort
Fanurio provides multiple methods to help you track time with little effort. You can track time manually or using timers. It also has a few reminders to help you start, resume or stop the timer automatically.
Manual time recording
Whether you forget to record time or you are not in the front of the computer most of the day, you can always record time manually.
Manual time recording is easy. You only have to specify a date, a time interval and a description for the recorded activity.
Learn how Fanurio works as time tracking software.
Manual timers
If you spend most of the time in front of the computer, the timer can save you the trouble of remembering the exact time when you started, paused or finished an activity.
You can access timers from the menu, the toolbar, the iTunes-like mini timer or from the menu bar/tray icon.
Smart timing
Fanurio has a few reminders (including idle time detection) to help you start, resume or stop a timer.
Instead of relying on your memory and attention to control the timer, you can use these reminders. We are calling this feature smart timing.
Get paid for all your work
From the moment you get a new contract until you are paid in full, Fanurio offers you the right tools to manage and bill all your work down to the penny.
Projects
Fanurio uses projects, services and expenses to help you track contracted work.
Billing
Whether you bill your work using a flat rate or by the hour, Fanurio has lots of features to help you earn all the money:
-
If you bill by the hour and you need to round time, Fanurio lets you round it up, down or to the nearest specified interval.
-
Discounts are a simple way to give your clients lower rates or to bill less hours (units). They can be applied as a percentage or as a fixed value.
-
If you are subcontracting some of your work or if you are reselling some goods, you can also enter the purchase cost to know exactly how much you are making.
-
For greater accuracy, price and units can be entered using two or three decimals.
-
To help you work with foreign clients, Fanurio can handle multiple currencies.
Taxes
Fanurio can help you track taxes if you have to. You can define one, two or more taxes (cummulative or not) and mark certain clients as tax exempt.
Invoices
Projects can be invoiced at any time by including some or all services. To save you the trouble, invoices can be numbered automatically.
Payments
Fanurio lets you see which invoices are paid, unpaid or overdue. For unpaid invoices, you can see how much was paid and the remaining balance.
Templates
You can create great looking invoices with your logo and layout, page numbering, taxes, complete time recordings and anything else that you and your clients need.
You can also customize invoice templates using Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.
Analyze your performance
Fanurio comes with powerful reports that let you analyze your work in terms of time and money so that you can make the best decisions.
Time
The Timesheet view is very useful if you want to review and edit time. It can help you see:
- The time recorded on a certain date, week or month and
- The time recorded by client or project.
It can also distinguish between invoiced and uninvoiced time.
Projects
Project reports are designed to help you answer questions about your work like:
- How much money have I made this week?
- How much money is worth my uninvoiced work?
- Who was my best client this year?
Fanurio can create reports about time and money for one or more projects that span any time period. You can see these reports structured by project, date, week, month or year.
Project reports can be exported to HTML or PDF.
Invoices
With Fanurio you can filter the list of invoices to extract useful information about your business. For instance, you can see:
- Which invoices are overdue,
- How much the unpaid invoices are worth or
- How much you've invoiced this year.
The filters allow you to create lots of similar questions about your invoices.
Payments
The payments view can help you see:
- How much money you've collected this month or quarter,
- How much money you've collected from a certain client.
Further Analysis
Just in case Fanurio can't answer some of your questions, you can always export time, invoices and payments to CSV or Excel for further analysis.
Import time from other users
Fanurio can import time recorded on multiple computers, making it useful for small teams and for people using more than one computer.
Multiple users
If you are part of a team, each member could install Fanurio on his or her computer to track time.
Team members can then export their time and send it to the team leader to prepare invoices for their clients.
Multiple computers
Many people use two computers for work whether it's a desktop and a laptop or a home computer and an office computer.
The time recorded on one computer can be exported and then imported in the other computer for billing purposes.
