Xpert-Timer Pro is multi-user compatible and can run on a SQLite, MS-SQL (Express also) or MySQL database. Most of our clients use this version of Xpert-Timer.

Besides tracking your time, Xpert-Timer PRO offers a To-Do list, an invoicing module, a client management and a document managemen. All of those modules can be activated or deactived in the program in order to keep the user interface clear.

Multiple project teams can all at once track their times in Xpert-Timer. If you are using Xpert-Timer in a team, you should install the software on a network drive in order to install later updates easily. It's not necessary to install the software on every single client.

Access right control the visibility of projects and details. A user can only see the projects he's assigned to and should only view his own times. Not the stopped times of his co-workers. Multiple access rights are available in Xpert-Timer.

This is an example setup of Xpert-Timer Pro in a multi-user environment:

The user interface of Xpert-Timer is clear and your employees will get used to the system quickly.
If you want to track your project times on the road, you can do so, too. All you need in addition in the "Synchronisation module". If you are back in the office, you can synchronize your data from your laptop through your LAN or WLAN with your main database. If you want to transfer the data from outside the office you need to connect to the main database using VPN or through the internet with our additional product "XTSyncServer".

Xpert-Timer is an ideal asset for all kinds of business, from freelancers, lawyers, repair technicians and accountants as well as all types of major enterprises.

The secret to Xpert-Timer's effectiveness is the timebar that simplifies the time-tracking. It floats on the Windows desktop, and a single click or hotkey lets you access all of the program's key functions. This ist the hirarchy of the projects in Xpert-Timer:

Project Hierarchy in PRO-Version

A further, deeper level is not available in Xpert-Timer. The total number of projects is not limited.

You can either track your time automatically, using the floating time bar, or you can add the timestamps manually at any time.

XTSyncServer is the interface between your mobile device (laptop or smartphone) and the main database. You need it for these situations:

• You track your time on a laptop with no connection to the main database and you want to synchronise the data through the internet.
• You track your time on your mobile Android device and want to synchronise with the main database.

XTSyncServer can either be run as a service on a Windows system or as an executable .exe on your Windows PC.

A Windows System is compulsory.

If you want to use Xpert-Timer Pro outside your office as well, without any connection to the main database, you can save all your data in your locas Access database and synchronise it with the main database later. In order to synchronise you need to have a connection to the main database. This could either be through a VPN connection, a direct WLAN or LAN connection to your main database on the companies' server. Another option is to synchronise the data through the internet. In order to do that, you need the XTSyncserver as an interface between your mobile device and the Microsoft database. You connect through the SyncServer to your database. This SyncServer is compulsory if you are trying to synchronize data from your mobile Android device to the Microsoft database.

Please find further details on how to setup the system in our manual.

This is a sample setup of the synchronisation:

Xpert-Timer includes multiple reports in the BASIC as well as in the PRO version. You can change the graphic design (colors) easily and match your corporate design.

In case you want to create your own reports, accessing the database directly using SQL statements, you need to purchase XTReport. XTReport includes the third-party report generator named "FastReport". (http://www.fast-report.com). XTReport is the interface between Xpert-Timer PRO and the report generator.
