Iterative Custom Software: Consolidating Timesheet Tickets

For long-standing clients for which we have created custom software applications, the process of improving and adding features is continuous, with new additions several times a year. For one project, a field ticket management application, not only has the application been a big success, it is also a perfect example of this process.

The application was set up to create individual timesheets for approval by the customer for the time of non-billable employees. These timesheets were converted to tickets, which the customer then had to approve on an individual basis before being submitted for invoicing.

Over time, this turned into a cumbersome and time consuming process, and the client came back to Entrance and asked us to add a feature that could consolidate the tickets by customer.

Now, the customer approves a single ticket, which is easier for them to understand, in addition to being a better use of everyone’s time.

Because this application was designed with extensibility and long term growth in mind, adding on to it is a straight-forward process. Do you have good software? Check out our list of the top five signs of bad software to find out.
