What Abtrac is
Abtrac is paid project and billing software for consulting professionals. It tracks jobs, resources, project budgets, logged time, and expenses while providing project information, reports, and alerts. Logged time and budgets can feed invoice preparation, with flexible billing and work-in-progress reporting. Work scheduling and planning are included. The mobile timesheet app records time and disbursements away from the office, then syncs with the online product; an Abtrac subscription is required. Accounting connections include MYOB, Xero, QuickBooks, Reckon, Sage, and Moneyworks. Other listed integrations include LINZ, AusSearch, Dye & Durham Terrain, 12d Synergy, Papercut, Microsoft Power BI, Zoho, and HubSpot. Abtrac is available on the web, iOS, and Android. The company says its time-based billing desktop system began in 1999 and its cloud application launched in 2014. A 30-day trial is available.
