Databasics is an affordable yet powerful time and expense solution

Excellent support and an overall positive experience. All time and expense systems will tell you that their software solution can meet your needs. Databasics is the only software that I have worked with in the last 30 years that has met that promise.

PROS

Databasics is a flexible and well designed solution that allows companies to design unique features to meet the needs of the company but comes standard with all of the basics so implementation was straightforward and took little effort. Integration with our business processes was nearly seamless and for those few issues that surfaced, the Databasics support team helped us to identify workable solutions.

CONS

The reporting module can be challenging for some users, however the support team at Databasics has been very helpful in designing reports for us in timely manner.

Reason for choosing DATABASICS Time & Expense

Databasics was highly recommended from 2 independent sources and the team at Databasics have been working together for more than 10 years. While discussing our needs, it was clear that the staff had worked with other similar organizations and were able to offer several recommendations that helped us make the best decisions during the implementation phase.

Great product if you put in the time.

A lot of work to set up correctly, but when it is done, it is a dream.

PROS

Flexibility. Databasics can achieve nearly any scenario you can come up with. Even if its not HOW you envisioned, they can solve a TON of problems.

CONS

Low intuitive GUI for non power users. If you have blue collar employees, they are going to struggle a bit. This is tied to how complex you make your build, but it can be a bit tough to learn.

DataBasics Time Review

In general, my overall experience is favorable. It has nice features and gets the job done. It calculates per project, per day, and per pay period.

PROS

I like how the program will not let you exit or submit your timesheet unless the standard hours for the pay period have been met. I also like the "my time off" feature where the leave balances at any given time can be seen.

CONS

The app screen is not easy to read to me. I'm not sure how you can improve it. I like the view where you can see the entire pay period. I do not like that you can only view one project code at a time. I am not fond of the reporting in DB. You almost have to be a programmer to create a report.

Great System with some small hangups

Databasics has transformed our company in a good way. Digitizing our expense tracking has been wonderful.

PROS

The flexibility to adapt the system to each client's needs is ideal. The development and support team work their hardest to make the system meet your needs even if they are somewhat unique.

CONS

The end user experience can be rather clunky and not intuitive at times. Requires a lot of training for users who are not very experienced with computers.

Senior Director of Global ICT

Overall TechnoServe has had a great experience with Databasics. Their implementation team was excellent and their customer support has been top notch. Our mass global launch of the Time module went off without a hitch and our gradually implementation of the Expense Report Module in our 29 countries of operations has worked well for us. I would highly recommend Databasics to any organization similar to TechnoServe.

PROS

TechnoServe looked for a Time & Expense solution for many years but, due to the complexity of our organizations project based accounting and distributed geography, it was difficult to find a solution that would work for us. With Databasics we found a product that met all our requirements. First of all, Databasics is very flexible. We were able to configure our complicated accounting structure and our diverse geography into the software without customizations. This was a major accomplishment. Secondly, we have been able to seamlessly automate our 1500+ users with our HRIS and we have been able automate our constantly changing accounting dimensions into Databasics making it very easy to maintain. Also by using Databasic's extract routines, we have be able to greatly simplify the loading of Time and Expense data into our accounting system. Finally, with Databasics intuitive UI, it's multiple language capability, and it's simple system administration, the software has been embraced by our end users, our accounting team, and our system administrators.

CONS

I would say the weakest part of Databasics is it's reporting system. Databasics uses a BI tool called Jaspersoft to access the Time & Expense Data. While all the necessary reports are available and complex custom reports can be built using Jaspersoft, the connectivity and cumbersome interface of Jaspersoft is not quite up to the standard of the rest of the application.

Reasons for switching to DATABASICS Time & Expense

It was very difficult to maintain and update the in-house application.
