What Abtrac is
Abtrac is project management and billing software for consulting professionals. It tracks time, jobs, resources, and project budgets, with real-time project information, reports, and alerts. Logged time and budgets can be used to prepare invoices, supported by flexible billing and work-in-progress reporting. The subscription also includes work scheduling and planning, plus expense tracking. Abtrac is available on the web, iOS, and Android. Its mobile timesheet app records time and disbursements and syncs updates with the online product, but requires an Abtrac subscription. Listed accounting integrations include MYOB, Xero, QuickBooks, Reckon, Sage, and Moneyworks; other connections include LINZ, AusSearch, Dye & Durham Terrain, 12d Synergy, Papercut, Microsoft Power BI, Zoho, and HubSpot. The service is paid, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. A one-user plan is $47 a month; additional user bands have separate listed rates. Abtrac is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, and says its cloud application launched in 2014.
