Role-based configuration provides users with the information they need most at their fingertips.  
"Dashboards allow employees to quickly see their pending time and expenses; one click and they are editing/adding to their timesheets or expense reports."
"Our employees spend less time entering time and expenses; it takes fewer mouse clicks to accomplish tasks."

Simplify the burden of capturing time

The integration enables you to simplify the burden of capturing time spent on projects. Employees can edit, delete and copy timesheets, as well as, see daily and weekly totals. Employees can also enter detailed notes on the work completed. Since Beyond is a mobile app, employees can enter their time whenever they are connected to the internet instead of waiting until they are back in the office.

Easy Expense Entry

Mobile Expense Entry allows employees to enter expenses directly to a project, and gives you the option to reimburse the employees for these expenses. Once entered, the expense report can be immediately routed for review and approval, keeping the invoicing process moving and leading to better cash management. You can even attach receipts to the report making expense reporting paperless.
