In this case study, we asked our customer Cordula Leonhardt about the outcomes she achieved after introducing timeBuzzer – and what tips she has for you.

What do you do and why do you track time?

I’m a virtual assistant, supporting other solo freelancers and small businesses remotely. I work at an hourly rate and bill my time to clients down to the minute.

What has improved since using timeBuzzer?

TimeBuzzer is super easy to use – I love the tool. Both the web version and the app are very clear and user-friendly. Billing at the end of the month has become much simpler, as I can quickly click through my clients and immediately see the total hours tracked. The various filter options are ideal and really helpful. I also love how quickly and easily I can add new clients and projects. It’s honestly brilliant.

Before timeBuzzer, I used another time tracking tool that kept freezing. Once, it even lost some of my tracked time — a total disaster for me. TimeBuzzer, on the other hand, is absolutely reliable — I haven’t had a single technical issue. It just runs quietly in the background and makes invoicing noticeably easier.

But with the new Lexware Office Integration, it gets even better. Now I just click on “Export to Lexware” in timeBuzzer and all invoices are created automatically. I do a quick visual check and then send them off to everyone…

I don’t think it could be any simpler. The only thing that could make it easier is a virtual assistant who takes care of the end of the month for you, with just a few clicks 😉

What tips do you have for others?

Setting up timeBuzzer was incredibly fast. It took almost no time at all. I’m self-employed and work alone, so there was no one I had to convince. What really piqued my interest was the cool buzzer! But even without the buzzer, the software is great and the operation is super fast.

The customer service is also excellent. I accidentally ordered two buzzers. One quick email was all it took to cancel one of them, no hassle at all.
At one point, I also missed having a decimal hours display in the overview. I reached out to support — and shortly after, the feature was added.

I’m absolutely thrilled. I can truly recommend it to everyone.
