| Features: |
Ease of use |
Despite Exceed's many features, simplicity and ease of use are emphasized above all. With Exceed, you will find time tracking to be simpler, more efficient, and more accurate guaranteed. |
| |
Real-time tracking |
Unlike most systems that require after the fact, manual data entry of your time, Exceed tracks and logs time automatically, displaying billing statistics in real-time. This gives you instant information that's always up to date for improved and more accurate time management. |
| |
Automatic billing |
Configure Exceed to automatically allocate time to specified clients, projects, or tasks based upon the documents or applications used. This saves time and increases billing and project tracking accuracy. |
| |
Break / Inactivity Detection |
When you return to your computer, Exceed will automatically inform you how long you were away and ask you to categorize the time. You no longer have to try to remember or write down how long you were at lunch, at a meeting, etc. Exceed handles it for you, simplifying your life, and increasing billing accuracy. |
| |
Project/job tracking |
Record, tag, or report time by project/job or task. Track project status, allocate project budgets, and track time and dollars spent per project in real-time. |

Project collaboration |
Share project notes with other users. Tag notes as private or public. |
| |
Real-time paid break tracking |
Exceed will track all paid breaks in real-time, and enforce break limits based on company rules. |

| |
|
Billing rate minimums |

Inter-Site Collaboration |
To facilitate improved communication between managers, off-site workers and telecommuters, daily or weekly time sheet reports can be scheduled and emailed. Reports can be customized to include user comments, notes, time, activity or other data. A user may choose to review and confirm any auto-generated reports before they are emailed. |
| |
|
Foreign currencies |
If you do business internationally, you can invoice time in multiple currencies based upon your client preferences. |

| |
|
Activity Logging |
Optionally log when applications and documents are opened, how long they are used, and other important details. Inactive or off-computer time is also tracked. This audit trail can help authenticate billable time for employees, telecommuters, and third party contractors to provide billing assurance. |
| |
Log review and editing |
Logged time and activity may be reviewed and edited by the user or a manager. The assignment of time to certain clients, projects, or tasks, or the billable status of the time may be easily changed. However, logged applications and the actual activity logged may not be tampered with in order to protect the integrity of the audit trail. |
| |
|
Privacy protection |
Multiple features help balance privacy concerns with the need for billing assurance. Multiple depths of logging are available, including the ability to disable application logging while on break. Passwords, logons, and the actual text typed are not recorded. In addition, third party professionals can filter all time from a log that is not billable to the client prior to sending it. |
