It unifies the full client engagement lifecycle in one connected system, from scoping and selling new work to staffing, project delivery, invoicing, and payments.

Teams can capture time and expenses quickly through intuitive web and mobile interfaces, with configurable approvals and reminders to keep work accurate and compliant. Billing and invoicing are streamlined with flexible models—time and materials, fixed fee, retainer, or blended rates—so firms can bill how they work. With one-click invoice generation and integrated payment processing via BigTime Payments, firms reduce days sales outstanding (DSO), eliminate manual steps, and accelerate cash flow. BigTime also provides real-time dashboards and AI-driven analytics for full visibility into key performance metrics including utilization, project progress, and profitability.

These integrations keep data aligned across systems, reduce double entry, and provide a more holistic view of operations across the business. BigTime is built for scale.

Performance and speed are consistently solid, and the platform offers great value for money alongside highly responsive customer support. > > **Cons**: We occasionally run into minor bugs and issues during invoicing updates or complex data syncing. While the security features are reliable, the interface can take a little bit of time to get fully configured. > > BigTime is a strong, reliable solution for professional project management and team collaboration. It provides excellent value and speed for day-to-day operations, making it a dependable choice despite a few minor technical hiccups. ----- ### "BigTime review by developer employee" — 5.0/5 > **Dan** | *1 August 2025* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BigTime is very dependable, quick, and easy to use. Employees can find projects, enter hours worked, create and view reports. It meets the needs of our company very well. > > **Cons**: I actually do not have any cons for BigTime. It meets all of my needs. It consistently works well and quickly for me to enter hours worked on projects, or view reports to see hours for employees or teams. > > I use BigTime for a couple of needs. I enter my hours worked on different projects. It is easy to use the search tool to find projects to add to my time sheet. I can then easily enter hours worked. Also, I have used it to create and run reports to view my hours or the hours for my team. ----- ### "Clunky government software" — 4.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *7 January 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app on the phone is a big improvement, I still find the views totally confusing, especially for running reports or getting to project details. It feels like it’s been weirdly customized. > > **Cons**: It’s very hard to find certain views and screens when you want to report on projects and look up time. The most useful screen put often buried behind eight or nine different steps to get there. > > I feel like this is a legacy government contractor software that people have to use because it has certain features that others don’t, but it’s very clunky and clumsy ----- ### "Central project management made easy - reliable, flexible and modern" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *20 July 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The tool has continuously evolved during this time and now offers a modern, intuitive user interface that noticeably simplifies daily work. The support is particularly noteworthy: inquiries are answered quickly, precisely and with a focus on solutions. This reliability makes a real difference in ongoing project work. Whether project planning, quote creation, invoicing or scheduling - everything can be managed centrally. > > **Cons**: What I like least is that some parts of the interface feel a bit outdated and not fully optimized for quick navigation. A slightly more modern UI and faster access to frequently used features would make the experience even better. > > Has made workflow much more organized; I always know which hours go to which project and I can quickly check my past entries without searching manually. ----- ### "BigTime is great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Joey** | *22 May 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything for business management all in one place\! (Time tracking, invoicing, planning, etc). It is easy to use for management and team members alike\! > > **Cons**: Visuals/Graphics for reports is not as interesting as some other options we've used in the past. BigTime foresights add on has much better UI for the reports/metrics. > > Very successful overall\! Takes some time to get integrated into all of the details, but worth it\! \[sensitive content hidden\] and their implementation team was excellent\! ----- Page: 1 / 28\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/3026/bigtime?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/3026/bigtime) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
