Questions about moving from WorkflowMax
- Does MinuteDock replace full job management?
MinuteDock covers time tracking, budgets, reporting and invoicing. It doesn't replace quoting, lead management, document management or job scheduling. If those are part of your day, you'll need to keep them covered alongside MinuteDock.
- Can I see all the work we haven't billed yet?
You can report on billable, uninvoiced time across clients, then look at the hours by project, task or team member. Each client's invoiceable total is also available when you're ready to bill.
- What if we use fixed fees or retainers?
Tracking the hours shows you how much work goes into an agreed fee. Set project budgets or recurring daily, weekly or monthly targets to keep track of the time used on packages and retainers.
- Can I keep invoicing through Xero?
Keep Xero for your accounts. MinuteDock creates draft invoices from tracked hours for you to approve and send in Xero. It also connects with QuickBooks, MYOB, Wave and FreshBooks.
- How should I compare costs as my team grows?
Compare the price for everyone who needs to track time, including any extra-user charges. MinuteDock plans include unlimited clients, projects, invoices and time tracking, so taking on more client work doesn't add usage charges for those records. See plans and extra-user pricing for your team today and your next hire.
- Where can I check how you handle client data?
Our privacy policy explains how we store, use and protect personal data. You can also read our Data Processing Addendum. If your practice has specific requirements, talk to our team before moving your records.
- How do I bring my WorkflowMax records across?
Send us your export and we'll help map relevant clients, projects, tasks, rates and time entries into MinuteDock. This is an assisted move rather than an automated WorkflowMax importer, so we'll review the records with you.
- Do I need to migrate before starting the trial?
Start with one client or project and try the work you do each day. The 14-day free trial needs no credit card, and our team can help with setup before you decide to move the rest.
