Delegate Time-Tracking to Your Smartphone
By Jill Bauerle
When lawyers venture out of the office, they often fail to track their time in real-time, opting instead for a memory dump when they return to the office. This common practice can result in lost billings. But don't blame these lawyers (they're rightfully focused on performing legal work). Instead, blame their technology — or lack thereof. What lawyers need is mobile technology that can eliminate the hassle of real-time time tracking. Enter AIRTIME Manager's AIRTIME-A4P, a clever utility that resides on your BlackBerry or Palm Treo. After completing a call or sending an e-mail message, AIRTIME-A4P asks you if you'd like to bill the time spent on that activity. With one click, you can effortlessly capture that time. AIRTIME-A4P fills in all the blanks, such as client/matter and the time spent on the call or e-mail, and then wirelessly sends your captured time entry back to your office. In addition to capturing billable time, AIRTIME-A4P can also record expenses. In a nice touch, AIRTIME-A4P features a third option — not recording the time. After all, you might want to make a personal call every now and then. AIRTIME-A4P gets even better over time (no pun intended) as it can adaptively learn about new clients from calls and e-mail messages you receive. After returning to your office, you can access an AIRTIME-A4P report listing all your time entries and edit them as needed. Installing AIRTIME-A4P occurs wirelessly — AIRTIME Manager wirelessly beams the software to your mobile device. AIRTIME-A4P works with all popular time entry and time-billing systems. Pricing is simple, success-based, and revenue-neutral — AIRTIME Manager charges a transaction fee only when you use AIRTIME-A4P to recover time. You can pass through this fee as a client reimbursable expense. Learn more about AIRTIME-A4P.
