Is Relatia the same as Relatia Time & Billing?

A: Relatia Time & Billing is a component of the Relatia Software Suite.  It can be purchased separately or in conjunction with the other modules.  While using the entire suite provides maximum functionality, Relatia Time & Billing is a richly-featured Time & Billing application right out of the box…all by itself. 

Where does Relatia Time & Billing store contact information?

A: Relatia Time & Billing is revolutionary in that it works in conjunction with your existing CRM application.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, Relatia compliments powerful, off-the-shelf customer management applications like GoldMine.  This way, companies using  Relatia get a truly three dimensional perspective on customer history that combines traditional sales and marketing data with a robust set of service and billing details.

What is Relatia’s Metrics Console?

A: Relatia, in all of it’s modules, implements a sophisticated reporting tool called the Metrics Console.  The Metrics Console is an Excel spreadsheet that automatically reports on various business-critical statistics that are accumulated by daily product use.  Each of Relatia’s software modules adds various statistics to the Metrics Console as they are added to your system.
