The only thing I didn’t like about the networked version of Studiometry was the licensing for iOS devices. Each connected client requires its own unique license, but those clients can be Macs, PCs, or iOS devices and work the same way the standalone application does. What makes Studiometry a standout is the ease with which you can take the application from a single-user sole proprietorship to a full-on server handling dozens of employees and hundreds of projects with little more than a click. In short, while you can roll your own templates using Studiometry, you’re probably not going to want to. Unfortunately, as is the case with every application of this type I’ve ever used, the promised ease of creating your own templates bears very little relationship to the amount of time and effort necessary to create something you’d want to send to a customer. Like Billings, Studiometry offers a WYSIWYG tool for modifying existing templates or creating templates of your own. When it comes to customizing estimates, invoices, and reports, Studiometry bears a striking similarity to Marketcircle’sīillings application, right down to the way that some templates look. I found many of them to be useful, although some of the videos referred to older versions of the application. For the basics and beyond, Oranged Software offers a large selection of Creating customers, adding new projects, entering project time, and invoicing are easy. While the program can be complicated, the basics are pretty straightforward.
For example, if you want to keep an employee from making changes to application settings or from viewing specific employee, customer, or vendor data, all you need to do is select that employee and remove their access to data that you don’t want them to see. When you add employees to Studiometry you have the option of limiting the information that those employees see when they are logged in. Studiometry has built-in Gantt charting that you can use to keep track of every aspect of a project, and if you use Oranged’sĪccounted accounting package, anything you do in Studiometry can automatically be synced with your backend accounting system. When an employee begins working on a project, a timer can be started that collects information on the amount of time spent on that project. You create projects and they must have associated clients and they can have employees assigned to them.
You create clients and your clients must have a related contact or contacts.
A small list on the left side of the screen breaks your business into several bite-sized chunks: Clients, projects, contacts, to-dos, and calendars, and selecting any one of these items filters the information you see in Studiometry’s main window. Once the initial database is created the application opens to a main window containing all of your business information.
