WatchIT 2.0 >> Case Studies

Greg Weinfurter, CEO >> Press Express, Wisconsin, 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 computers, 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 clients for actual time spent on their jobs. Plus, with the ability to print out by Job, Name, Application or Time, the client 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, type-house/service bureau, graphic designer or anyone needing to keep track of time to be invoiced to clients - or just to monitor their own employees."

"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/ or legal professional 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.

In three weeks I have found out:

• We consistently underestimate the time we bill to the clients
• We can now counter the client's complaint that we billed him to much for such a "simple little job"!
• 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 bad copy and have an argument in favour of him giving us a disk next time.
• Even if we don't bill the client for every second, it's good to know how much time we REALLY devote to them.

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 money 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 impressive Tech-Support. My questions were answered overnight and my problems solved... you should train some of the Microsoft tech-support people!"
