The Reporting Toolset For Basecamp

With bcToolkit you will be able to understand where you are underestimating time on projects or going over budget which means that firstly you can recoup lost revenue by selling the time that you would not otherwise bill or secondly use bcToolkit to learn where to charge more for projects.

bcToolkit provides detailed and accurate reporting services for your Basecamp data. By aggregating and analysing the amount of time spent across users, projects and clients, businesses can grasp a better understanding of how their time, and money, is spent across their organization.

If you are a service based company like an Ad agency or a digital agency or a consultancy and you principally sell your time then bcToolkit is a must for you as an add on to Basecamp. What you are interested in is information that tells you how accurately you are estimating projects and if you are going over budget so that you can recoup lost time and sell on any extras or change requests.

Comparing your estimates of time on projects, or in other words time you have sold, with the actual time you spend is easy with bcToolkit. The sales price of a project is calculated because bcToolkit knows your hourly rate and the amount of time you sold which has been derived from the correctly marked up to-do’s in Basecamp (This simple process is explained in the how to use bcToolkit videos). Basecamp data then provides bcToolkit with the time spent on each project and bcToolkit reports on the ratios between these types of data.

bcToolkit allows you to see how efficient your business is by showing hours sold relative to hours taken to deliver a project. bcToolkit also reports estimated recoverable time which is hours sold relative to all hours available as well your true recoverable time which is actual hours spent relative to total hours available. The information bcToolkit gives you about the differences between true and estimated recoverable time could be the difference between profit and loss for your business.

These reports provided by bcToolkit are specifically designed to highlight those key performance indicators (KPI's) described above, demonstrating the health of your business and most importantly give you the information to charge for all the lost and unbilled time that eats away at your profitability.

• Identify inefficient projects, clients and employees.
