QuickArrow Launches All New Small Business Edition

Austin, Texas – April 20, 2009 – QuickArrow, Inc., the leader in SaaS Services Automation, today announced the launch of their all new Small Business Edition, an automated solution designed to simplify Professional Services Management for small businesses and teams with up to ten users. The new solution targets small business owners and service leaders who currently manage their business on manual spreadsheets, a practice that typically requires hours of dedication beyond the standard workweek.

Manually tracking time and expense, billing, and project management on spreadsheets drastically limits the overall effectiveness of many services organizations today. And without the ability to monitor the overall health of their business in real-time, services leaders are often forced to base critical business decisions on unreliable data.

“In the PS space, most small business owners start off with a vision of being their own boss and creating financial freedom, but inevitably, without the right tools in place, they become overwhelmed by the manual administration of the business,” said QuickArrow CEO, Kevin Bury. He continued, “9 times out of 10, that means project and cost overruns, and countless nights and weekends away from the family, just trying to keep their heads above water. This new solution enables these owners to completely automate and transform their services operations, and get back to what matters most – the people who depend on them for more than just a paycheck.”

“In today’s tough economic environment, small businesses must be even more disciplined in the management of their operations, and ensure that they capture and invoice for every billable hour and expense incurred,” stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies, Inc. and founder of the SaaS Showplace. “With their new Small Business Edition, QuickArrow is offering a timely new solution to address these escalating needs.”

With QuickArrow Small Business Edition, businesses can analyze projects in greater depth to identify profitability by client, project type, and employee, accurately capture and invoice for every billable hour, and easily monitor business health with more than 25 configurable report templates. The solution is delivered via the Software as a Service (SaaS) model eliminating the costs normally associated with hardware, maintenance, and upgrades.

“I used to spend half my work week updating spreadsheets and preparing reports,” said Mark Foster, director of professional services at Troux Technologies. He continued, “With QuickArrow it only takes a couple of hours to pull my reports for detailed data on the health of our Services department.”

QuickArrow Small Business Edition is available now, for only $1,995 per year for up to 10 users, and includes:

Time and Expense Management - Accurately captures and invoices for every billable hour, creates customizable expense types and business rules, and reduces the billing cycle to hours instead of days or weeks
