Small business owners must do everything on a shoestring. So, when great tools, especially great free software managment tools, then business owners tend to snap them up. CreativePro Office is one such tool. It gives you time tracking, project managment, client information, invoice and expense tracking, and much more. And it does it in a nice web interface.
And, mind you, it’s a hosted interface. This is not something you have to install on your own. Sign up is easy, free, and painless. Once you verify your email, you’re good to go. Log in and you are greeted by your dashboard. Here you can see your calendar, invoices, tasks, and projects. You can also add and remove these widgets easily. You can add client information. Then you can associate clients with projects.
Once you set up clients and projects, the fun begins. Now you can start tracking invoices associated with those projects and clients. It also includes a work timer in case it’s an hourly rate. You can pause and start as needed. Expenses are an inevitable part of running a business and CreativePro lets you do it with ease. You can add new expense categories at your discretion. And you can look through some basic reports. It would be nice if those reports could be downloaded as pdf. Maybe I missed that feature.
The end result, however, is an intuitve and easy to use system. Small business owners don’t have time to figure complex stuff out. Simple, easy and powerful. And that is what this software delivers. And, heck, it’s free! Check out their site for screenshots and free registration.
