### "Basic's online timesheet system has quickly become a valued tool for my business." — 5.0/5

> **Peppa** | *26 February 2014*
> 
> For a small business operating in the professional services field, it is vital to be able to accurately record the time spent on individual client activities.  Before using Basic's online Timesheet system, this was managed via a manual spreadsheet system, which was not only time consuming but open to potential inputting errors. 

Now, I can quickly log all activities onto the online system, no matter where I am  including related expenses  and this creates significant efficiencies for me at the end of each month.
I can also provide a log-in to my freelance associates, so they too can report the time they are spending on specific projects. It has quickly become a valued tool for my business.
