Moving from WorkflowMax

A WorkflowMax alternative for engineering consultancies

ReliTime is timesheets, approvals, job costing and Indian GST invoicing for consultancies that bill clients by project and phase. If you are moving from WorkflowMax, your clients, jobs, tasks, rates and past timesheets can come with you from WorkflowMax’s own CSV exports.

What comes across

WorkflowMax exportBecomes, in ReliTime
ClientsClients, matched by name. A new client needs its country, and an Indian client its state, because those decide the GST on every invoice.
JobsJobs, matched by job number. A job WorkflowMax marks completed arrives closed, so old work stays out of the timesheet.
Job tasksTasks under each job, in a phase you name. A task’s estimate becomes its budget.
StaffBilling and cost rates for each person, from a date you choose. People are matched to their accounts by email.
TimesheetsA read-only archive of past time. It counts against job, phase and task budgets and is never billed again.

Invoices, quotes, leave and costs are not imported. An invoice you have issued stays the tax document it is.

How the move works

  1. 1. Export from WorkflowMax

    Download the clients, jobs, job tasks, staff and timesheets lists as CSV files. You can bring them all at once, or clients and jobs first and history later.

  2. 2. Invite your people

    Everyone whose rates or timesheets you bring needs a ReliTime account first, because people are matched by email. Somebody who has left is invited as inactive.

  3. 3. Check the files

    An administrator chooses the files and presses Check. Nothing is written yet: you see how many clients, jobs, tasks and rates will be created, and the hours and dates the history covers.

  4. 4. Import

    Pressing Import creates all of it or none of it. If any row is wrong, every problem is listed by file and row number, so one round of fixes is enough.

Where ReliTime fits

  • You bill clients by job and phase, at rates that change over time.
  • You invoice under Indian GST, including zero-rated exports to overseas clients.
  • You want approvals, locked weeks and an audit trail on every plan.
  • You want budgets on jobs, phases and tasks, with your WorkflowMax history counted against them.

What to check before moving

  • ReliTime has no quotes or estimates to send to a client.
  • It does not connect to an accounting package. Data leaves as CSV files that open in Excel.
  • It runs in a desktop or phone browser, with no separate app.
  • Invoices are Indian GST tax invoices. Other tax regimes are not supported yet.

Questions people ask

Is ReliTime a WorkflowMax alternative?

For a consultancy that records time against jobs and invoices under Indian GST, yes. ReliTime covers timesheets, approvals, rates, work in progress, budgets and GST invoicing. It does not do quotes or connect to an accounting package, so if you rely on those, check that before moving.

Can I import from WorkflowMax?

Yes. An administrator imports the clients, jobs, job tasks, staff and timesheets CSV exports. The files are checked first, and the import creates everything or nothing.

What happens to our past timesheets?

They are kept as a read-only archive. They count against job, phase and task budgets, so a job moved halfway through shows the hours it has already used. They are never billed again, because those hours were invoiced from WorkflowMax.

Do invoices and quotes come across?

No. An invoice already issued stays the tax document it is, and creating it again here would make a second document for one supply. Leave, quotes and costs are not imported either.

Can I run the import twice?

Clients, jobs and tasks that already exist are matched rather than created again. The same timesheets file cannot be imported twice, because every hour in it would then count twice.

See it on your own kind of work

We set ReliTime up with a walkthrough rather than a sign-up form. We will take you through a working organisation, from a week of timesheets through approvals and work in progress to a GST invoice, answer your questions as we go, and set up yours.

ReliTime is free for up to 5 people. Each person beyond the first 5 costs ₹199 a month, plus 18% GST.
