Nutcache ! ! !

http://www.nutcache.com Cost: Free - but can have an extended, charged monthly fee, if there are a lot of people in your organisation ‘Nutcache is the best business tool that helps your team and clients to organize, track, and deliver projects on time and within budget, as well as to collaborate effectively.’

Originally launched as a time-tracking tool, Nutcache functions as an all-inclusive, collaborative project-management tool that integrates time management, invoicing and expense management.

Recently, this tool added new features for more effective time-tracking solutions.

The latest update now includes features like multiple web timers that you can run on different tasks to keep an account of your day. You can use these to track time by the duration of the work, displaying on your client's invoice the exact time spent on a task. You also have a detailed calendar view to see who is working on which project, along with the time employees spend on each project.

In addition, the new time-tracking features allow you to assign specific tasks and projects to members. There is an improved display grid, making it much simpler and easier to use. You can now search records directly with an enhanced filter function. Finally, the new update provides an instant overview report, detailing all time entries by project/members.

Nutcache offers a free version limited to two members; in addition, there are two paid versions.

The Enterprise package comes with a 30-day free trial offer.
