Design and development studios, creative agencies, corporate IT teams and freelancers can definitely take advantage of its PM, time tracking and billing capabilities.

Features, Benefits, Strengths

• Efficient Project Tracking and Management – ChangeRequest makes tracking of multiple projects easy with simple but effective features such as tagging, milestones setting, bulk updates and integrated screenshot tool. Tagging allows the project manager to add important information to a project on top of the usual filter settings by status and workload. Milestones also helps organize and track projects when a certain amount of work has been completed. When managing multiple projects, cases and tasks, a bulk updates feature is an efficient way to accomplish a lot with less time. The software also has task categorization and priority settings, with a powerful search tool that can find recently changed columns.
• Easy Billing and Payment – Companies that are able to track, manage and deliver projects successfully should also be able to make accurate invoices and billing. This project management system has built in workflow to create cost estimates, approval and invoices one after the other. It has links to Authorize.net, PayPal and major credit cards to accept payment. It provides an easy, one-click process of setting up an invoice within the system, edit the contents, and send it online.
• Customization, Report Generation, Feedback Mechanism and more – ChangeRequest users can easily set up accounts for different client companies and projects. System users can be assigned a proper privilege level that allows them to view or access information as any of the three types of users. For each account, certain features can be turned on such as time tracking, billing, or email notification. International clients can have customized currency and time zones. Users can create reports that show resource utilization or financial data. Client surveys can be sent to gage satisfaction. Workflow can also be customized to fit the way work is done at a company. Other settings can be customized as well for branding such as company logos.
