TimeLinx for Sage CRM

TimeLinx for Sage CRM is a comprehensive, browser-based Project and Service Management CRM system that sits on top of Sage CRM to provide services businesses a financially-based system for “CFO-approved” project management with integration to Sage ERP MAS 90/200 and Sage ERP Accpac accounting.

With TimeLinx for Sage CRM, we are introducing a new and better way that project management software is designed, built, and used in smaller service organizations.  By integrating CRM with Professional Services Automation, Field Service Management, and ERP, we've defined a new category of Professional Service CRM -- one that maximizes productivity in every area of a service organization.

TimeLinx® extends the value of Sage CRM® across the Customer and Project Lifecycles

For Professional Services firms, manufacturers, and other businesses, TimeLinx extends CRM through the entire Customer and Project Lifecycles, from Campaigns to Opportunities, Service Delivery, and Customer Service or Technical Support. TimeLinx, embedded within Sage CRM, provides time and expense reporting and project management functions that let you proactively manage projects, tasks, staff resources and associated costs and profits.

360° view of clients and projects

TimeLinx stores all client and project-related information in a single CRM-based system, eliminating the need and expense of maintaining multiple databases, spreadsheets, and other applications.

Your entire organization – from Sales to Senior Management – gains permission-based access to comprehensive information, eliminating information silos between departments and increasing efficiency and profitability. For example, Sales can identify cross selling and up-selling opportunities. C-level executives gain insights that improve resource utilization and profitability.

TimeLinx is a unique “financial” Project Manager. Through its proprietary rules-based Revenue Optimization Engine™ * and tight bi-directional integration with accounting software, you manage dollars and profits rather than only tasks and resources.

Does billable time disappear into thin air?

Capturing time and expenses accurately and consistently is one of the most difficult aspects of project management. Does your staff neglect to record time spent writing an email or taking a lengthy project-related phone call? TimeLinx enables staff to quickly enter time and expenses from anywhere in the world, prompting them through the process in just a few clicks.  Time can easily be entered using the timesheet or standard Sage CRM Incidents.
