Gym memberships are notoriously awful at taking our money every month, even if it’s been over 120 days since we stepped inside. Cable companies charge us for 175 channels when we only watch 7. Unfortunately, we’ve accepted this type of billing as a way of life, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
A handful of tech companies have chosen to follow a higher standard of billing ethics and only charge their customers for what they use. This “groundbreaking practice” that should be normalized is known as a Fair Billing Policy. When it comes to GPS time tracking software, busybusy is the only company with a policy like this.
If Your Workload is Seasonal, Your Time Tracking Billing Should be too.
Depending on weather conditions or the current economic condition, you could find yourself running at full capacity one month and a skeleton crew the next, that’s construction. With busybusy’s Fair Billing Policy, you are only charged for the employees using the software that month. This billing procedure eliminates the fear of trying a new product when you’re unsure how often it will be used.
For example, suppose you temporarily reduce your employees from 50 to 30 during a slow season. In that case, busybusy will refund you the difference for your employees not using the time tracking software that month.
A Fair Billing Policy Can Save Your Company A LOT of Money.
Whether it’s analyzing cost codes or narrowing in on a labor budget, busybusy’s features are designed to increase a construction business’ profitability and their Fair Billing Policy is no different. The savings are remarkable. Below you’ll find an example similar to one in our Cost Comparison article showing just how much money a small construction business can save with busybusy’s Fair Billing Policy compared to TSheets (who doesn’t offer a Fair Billing Policy.)
In this example, a small construction business from Idaho employs 25 crew members for nine months of the year. However, only a handful of those employees remain working during the coldest months. Busybusy’s Fair Billing Policy ensures that this business is not charged for the seasonal 20 employees who aren’t working three months of the year. On the other hand, TSheets will automatically charge this company 12 months for all 25 employees regardless of whether they’re working. It doesn’t matter if you have 25 employees or 250 employees a Fair Billing Policy will save your construction business money. It saves over $1,000 simply by choosing a software company with a Fair Billing Policy.
Automatic = Less Hassle More Savings
That’s why busybusy’s fair billing policy automatically calculates your employee usage and adjusts the cost accordingly. There is no need to manually move employees or argue with customer service after being on hold for two hours (clears throat while mumbling QuickbooksTime). Busybusy tracks all of it automatically, saving you time and money.
A Fair Billing Policy Speaks of Something Greater
If busybusy offers a Fair Billing Policy, what does it say about the principles at their company? It says they value their customers above all else and passionately believe their product can be life-changing for all construction businesses.
The definition of fair is ‘following a standard of what is right- free from favor towards either side. It’s time to bring the principle of fairness back into business, and having a software that only bills you on usage is a great place to start! Follow that up with a 90-day money-back guarantee and the right to cancel anytime, and it’s clear that busybusy has built their software company on a rock-solid ‘customer-first ‘foundation. There is literally nothing to lose and everything to gain by choosing busybusy’s powerful time tracking software for your construction company.
busybusy.com is committed to making clients happy, and two obvious things that help do that are: having the best product in the industry and making it easier for their customers to get what they paid for. Not because they want them to. But because busybusy understands that if customers know they can leave anytime, they will trust that busybusy is continually working to make them want to stay.
Busybusy’s founder owns multiple construction companies. Like you, he understands the pride of creating something strong, beautiful, and useful. Like any good contractor, busybusy doesn’t cut corners. We know that nothing great was ever built by taking a client’s money and then running regardless of whether the finished product is what the client wanted, needed, and hoped for when they coughed up their hard-earned money. A Fair Billing Policy is just one of many features that prove their business is built on a strong foundation and that, unlike most software companies, busybusy is willing to put its money where its mouth is.
