WatchIT 2.0 >> Customer Quotes
"Dear Sirs
Just a brief e-mail to express my delight at Watchit!.
I purchased the original Watchit! from you some years ago and think that your updates have really made a vast improvement.
I particularly like the flexible reporting interface and the fixes left on your web pages have made the assignment of idle time a doddle and now permit the more effective capture of Netscape Navigator information.
I'm glad to use an Apple Mac just to use your software! Well done."
Lloyd Hogg, England
"Just what the doctor ordered... billing order!"
Pasquale DelVecchio,Graphic Design Etc.,NY, USA
"Excellent Product -- no more unaccountable time on workstations and assists greatly in accurate billing."
James Tampone, Paragon Press, PA, USA
"WATCHIT! has saved my business! Our profits were hurting due to under quoted typesetting and design. I found myself guessing how long our typesetter took to do certain jobs and usually I under estimated.
I tried time sheets but they were always filled out poorly. After we installed WATCHIT! on our computer, it ran silently in the background keeping track of actual time spent on our layout and design.
To my surprise, certain jobs were taking longer to do than I ever would have imagined. I now invoice my customers for actual time spent on their jobs. Plus with the ability to print out by Job, Name, Application or Time, the customer can be assured that they are not being overcharged.
I can even tell if the employees are playing games on company time when I am not around.
WATCHIT! is a MUST for any print shop, typehouse/service bureau, graphic designer or anyone needing to keep track of time to be invoiced to customers, or just to monitor their own employees.
Thank you Hi Resolution for this wonderful product."
Greg Weinfurter - Owner, Press Express, Rhinelander, Wisconsin USA
"Thanks for your very helpful and efficient web site!!
I am still trying to figure out some of the ins and outs of WATCHIT!, but I anticipate that it will be great. I previously used WindoWatch and it was very helpful but didn't do everything I needed. Thanks for making the upgrade - I couldn't work without a timesheet!"
Debra Tomme, Principal, Compass Graphics, Rathdrum, Idaho, USA
"THIS IS NOT A MEDIA STUNT! I have no relation whatsoever with the guys from Hi-Resolution but am so happy about their software that I feel I should tell you about it. I honestly think that no designer/secretary/legal profession should be without it. I have been using WATCHIT! for the last three weeks now and it is an invaluable simple and hassle-free tool. No more guessing how much time each of us spent "doing a quick scan", redrawing that "simple logo" in Illustrator, how long it took to add these "minor changes" to the clients layout.... or simply checking how much time I spent reading my e-mail (what!!! that long!!!) or searching for that freeware font on AOL. I am not going to comment on the "paused time" log as I already know that I go to the toilet and the water machine quite often, but heck, you've got to give your eyes a rest from time to time!!!
In three weeks I have found out:
- We consistently underestimate the time we bill to the clients
- We suddenly realized how much time we waste doing un-necessary scans
- I spend much less time on-line than my Sysop pretends (and can now prove it!)
- We can now bill the client the long hours spent OCR-ing his crappy copy and have an argument in favour of him giving us a disk next time.
- We can now counter the client's complaint that we billed him to much for such a "simple little job" !
- Even if we don't bill him for every second, its good to know how much time we REALLY devote to him.
End of next month I am going to make a few charts (since exporting data is so easy) and have a general meeting with the whole design-staff about Time and its organization... We have already earned back the NZ$ 200 we paid for WATCHIT! and should make quite a lot of money with it.
It is a really a cheap "must-have" tool for anyone working for a living on a computer. TimeSlips and TimeSlice drop dead!!!
Add to it an impressing tech-support. My questions were answered overnight and my problems solved... you should train some of the Microsoft tech-support people!"
