TelePacific Insight: TeleCommunications Blog

Consultants are their own breed. Who else bills at half, quarter or even tenth of an hour increments, manages scores of clients, works long hours and is expected to account for every minute worked and every penny spent and link it back to a client account? It’s a tough world. No wonder lawyers, accountants, business consultants, engineers and other consultants spend huge amounts of money on software and systems to help them track their time and projects. It’s all to ensure that they are meeting utilization and billable goals, and that clients are being billed properly.

But did you know that TelePacific can help you better track those expenses without the need of expensive software? Many of our products and services have built-in capabilities that can come in very handy for consultants.

For instance, Conference Central can keep track of what client you’re meeting with or about and you can run an easy report at the end of your billing cycle to see which client to bill for which conference calls. With account codes you can keep track of all your calls and see when you called each client and how much time you spent with them. Having all that information readily available makes preparing invoices and reports at the end of the billing period much easier. And if you’re managing multiple offices, it’s even easier when you can get one invoice for all your locations and track your expenses and usage at any time with OneCentral.

You may already have some of these features included in your TelePacific service package so contact your account representative to learn more about how to use them. And if you don’t already have these features, or would like to switch to TelePacific, give us a call too. We promise to not keep you waiting. We know your time is valuable.
