Coretime for IT Consultants

Accurately record billable and non‑billable hours, travel, and project‑related costs whether your consultants are on‑site, remote, or at client offices. With Coretime, logging work and expenses is quick and straightforward, eliminating time-loss and reducing reliance on memories or spreadsheets. That means every minute and every cost gets properly captured even during fast-paced project work or client emergency calls.

IT projects often evolve: scope changes, new deliverables, shifting deadlines. Coretime enables you to map out tasks, milestones, deadlines and phases, and to set budgets then track time and costs against those budgets in real time. This helps you stay on top of scope creep, manage unexpected changes, and deliver on time without losing track of profitability.

Whether you bill clients on a time-and-materials basis, by milestones, or via retainers, Coretime simplifies invoicing. At the click of a button you can generate accurate invoices based on actual time, logged expenses, or predefined deliverables. No more manual hours calculations or billing mistakes. Faster, more reliable invoicing means healthier cash flow and fewer billing disputes.

For consultancies juggling multiple contracts and client demands, staffing efficiently is critical. Coretime’s Resource Manager lets you plan who works on which projects, see availability and avoid over- or under-utilisation, and forecast capacity for upcoming engagements. This ensures your team is allocated intelligently avoiding burnout and under-utilisation and helps you plan ahead when demand spikes or new clients come onboard.

Get instant insight into project profitability, resource utilisation, work in progress (WIP), and cost vs budget across every engagement or client. For IT consultancies, this visibility makes it easier to spot unprofitable projects, benchmark performance, and make data‑driven decisions such as where to allocate senior consultants or when to adjust rates.

IT work doesn’t always happen at a desk. With Coretime’s mobile app, consultants can log hours, expenses or project notes from home, on the go, or at client sites  even if the connection is patchy. That means you never lose chargeable time, even if work happens after hours or on remote deployments. Flexible, reliable time and expense entry supports modern working styles and increases overall billing accuracy.

Coretime simplifies tracking for multi-layered projects and diverse teams. Whether you’re managing ongoing support retainers or delivering bespoke IT solutions, Coretime ensures that tracking and billing are accurate and effortless, saving time and reducing administrative overheads.

Coretime offers advanced reporting tools to help you analyse profitability by project or client. Easily identify which services are most lucrative and gain insights into staff utilisation and project performance. These features provide the data you need to make informed decisions and optimise your business operations.

Coretime integrates seamlessly with systems like Sage and Xero for accounting and offers the flexibility to connect with ticketing or help desk software. IT consultants with advanced reporting needs can also access Coretime’s database directly for bespoke integrations or Power BI analysis.

Work doesn’t always happen in the office, and Coretime’s mobile app ensures IT consultants can track time, record expenses, and update projects on the go. Stay connected to your business operations no matter where you are.

Coretime doubles as a lightweight CRM system, allowing you to track client communications, set reminders, and log tasks. Whether managing sales pipelines or internal communications, Coretime keeps everything organised in one place.
