As you already know, Abtrac is a cloud based job management software package used by professionals who require real time job tracking software. But what really makes Abtrac so much more valuable than other packages? It is simple:

1. Plan out your day

Before you sift through your hundreds of new emails, voice messages and start on that task you've been putting off all week, grab your morning coffee and set out a schedule for your day. Seems simple enough but this is the number one rule to increase productivity. 

Set a timer for each of the tasks and layout when you're going to get each task done by. e.g.

8.30-8.45am - Plan day

8.45-9.45 - Reply to emails, phone call, chase up supplies

9-45-10.30 - Go over blueprints for the Jones' job

10.30-10.45 - Morning break

We don't brag much, but on just this occasion, we'll be taking you through how Abtrac saves our customers a lot in lost time AND lost profit.

Why use Abtrac in your business? How is Abtrac different from other solutions? How does Abtrac help reduce overheads?

Ed O'Leary answers these questions and gives a little bit of insight into how Abtrac has managed to save a lot of businesses a lot in lost profit.

In your professional services business, putting in place and using measures to make sure you are going the right way at the right speed is crucial. The thing is, all your business is selling is its expertise. There is no stock in the warehouse to keep an eye on, no daily till-take to cash up. You have got a finite number of people with skills to do the work each day. They are making money working for clients wanting deliverables done to as high a quality standard, as quickly as possible. Day-by-day, managing work to be done and people to do it can mean the difference between your business doing really well, or lurching from one urgent issue to the next.
