Vertabase, a leading developer of project management software, today announced that Network Consulting Services (NCS), a provider of IT consulting, has successfully streamlined its client billing and accelerated its cash flow with the implementation of Vertabase 4 software.

ebizQ received the following:

Vertabase 4 offers project management tools that accelerate productivity by simplifying and centralizing access to project information and metrics. Vertabase 4 delivers a simple, intuitive and powerful tool set for both technical and non-technical users, including online timesheets and Web-based time tracking.

As part of its day-to-day operations, NCS dispatches technicians to client locations to provide IT support. In the past, employees found time-tracking software systems to be cumbersome and frustrating. Consequently, such tasks were often avoided and subsequently fell behind schedule. Since implementing Vertabase 4, NCS has eliminated these problems.

"The principal distinction between Vertabase 4 and the numerous other software solutions that we tried is ease-of-use," said Brian Zifkin, Sales Manager, NCS. "Efficient pull-down menus eliminate the need to type and a Web-based interface means that time sheets may be sent from any location. It's amazing how much more streamlined our billing process has become since we introduced Vertabase 4. And, more importantly, simplified billing has led directly to accelerated cash flow."

"With operations and clients across several states, we provide hardware, software, infrastructure and support to our clients largely in the manufacturing and medical sectors. With about 25 projects on-going at any given time, time-tracking is essential to our success. In the past, one of our biggest challenges was getting our technicians to track their time punctually. It was a hassle. Until now, no other software solution worked to our satisfaction. We’ve streamlined our billing and accelerated our cash flow – all because Vertabase 4 is so easy to use," Mr. Zifkin concluded.
