More Timekeeping Features

Protect your privacy with a private number

Give clients an easy way to contact you while still protecting your privacy with a private Centerbase number. Instead of handing out your personal cell phone number, forward texts and calls to your cell using our Automated Time Capture premium feature. So clients can still feel like they have total access to you - without actually sacrificing your privacy.

Easily identify top performing attorneys with timekeeper budgets

Identify your high and low performing attorneys with built-in timekeeper budget reporting. You can create budgets for hours billed or fees. Then track your budgets on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. So you can finally analyze your timekeepers’ profitability. And your most precious resource - billable time - is never wasted again.

Don’t let different rates trip up your timekeeping

Easily generate as many rate tables as your firm needs. Instead of manually entering your rates with every time entry, let us do it for you. Use effective date ranges to automatically switch rates at the matter or client level, so you never forget a rate change. Even set rate exceptions for special cases. So you can efficiently accommodate every timekeeper and client.

Allow timekeepers to edit their time without viewing pre-bills

Speed up the time approval process by enabling your timekeepers to quickly review, edit, and approve time entries at the end of the month - without sifting through pre-bill piles. Merge multiple events into a single time entry with one click. Or choose to hold entries on bills for projects you’re still working on. So your pre-bill process can finally be uncomplicated.

Track time in Microsoft applications you already use

Start recording your time in applications you already use. Instead of recording time you spent drafting documents or emailing on a spreadsheet, start tracking time with our built-in Outlook and Word integrations. Record your time as you save documents in Word or when you send client emails from Outlook. So time tracking becomes part of your already familiar workflow.

Record time from anywhere within Centerbase

With our Global Timer, you're enabled to start and stop recording your time from anywhere within Centerbase. Even if you have multiple Centerbase tabs open or are using our Mobile App, your time entries are synced across all pages, no matter where you are within the platform. So wherever you start your timer, you can stop it when your matter work is complete. Helping you capture every billable second to hit your profitability goals.

High-performing firms rely on
Centerbase’s timekeeping

“If you're traveling internationally, or if you're working outside the office, it means that you can keep those wheels turning, no matter where you are and what you're doing. And it means that you're going to capture more time. We lost huge amounts of time and productivity when we had an unreliable system. Before Centerbase, as the person that had to manage fixing the software and working with the software companies, we lost days of productivity in my department.”

Office Administrator
Bollier Ciccone, LLP
“The app allows the timekeepers to enter activities in real-time — a game-changer for those tracking time while outside of the office.”
