a. What applications do you use for billing/invoicing?
We use ActiveCollab for PM (don’t need time tracking since our billing is by the project typically) and are moving over to Agile Zen, We’ve used Recurly for recurring subscriptions but are currently developing our own app for subscription management. We have also used Invoice Machine for invoicing,.. which is an incredible app!

b. How do you receive payment (Check, Cash, Paypal etc)?
We use Auth.net for payments – almost all of which are Credit Card payments

c. What applications do you use for tracking your time?
None, we dont track time specific to man/hours, we run a SCRUM & Kanban style development system

d. How do you send contracts to clients?
Via a custom made contract application where they can e-sign and view contracts.

e. What problems do you face in using your current application(s)?
Lack of integration.. would be great to have one tool to do it all (ah, in a perfect world).
Think: AgileZen (SCRUM/Kanban PM) + Invoice Machine + and a tool to manage the business aspect of projects – General Billing, payment to contractors and employees, etc.

f. Which tools / apps do you wish would communicate with each other?
ALL of them that we use lol

g. Is there an application that doesn’t exist that you wish was available?
see ‘e’ above. ;)

It is still in beta, and a lot more features to go, but I suggest checking it out!

b. How do you receive payment (Check, Cash, Paypal etc)?
Mostly by check, some PayPal.

c. What applications do you use for tracking your time?
Again, FreeAgentCentral.com

d. How do you send contracts to clients?
Just email as PDFs

e. What problems do you face in using your current application(s)?
None really. I’d like to have an iPhone app, but that’s about it.

f. Which tools / apps do you wish would communicate with each other?
My iPhone and FreeAgent Central

g. Is there an application that doesn’t exist that you wish was available?
One that prints money.

b. How do you receive payment (Check, Cash, Paypal etc)?
Check usually, though I’ve accepted paypal and interac transfer before.

c. What applications do you use for tracking your time?
Usually I bill by project but have Kronos when timetracking is needed.

d. How do you send contracts to clients?
Email or fax if required.

e. What problems do you face in using your current application(s)?
I’d like to be able to drag and drop my address book contacts into
my indesign document instead of manually typing contact info, but that’s not a big deal.

f. Which tools / apps do you wish would communicate with each other?
Adobe + Apple apps.

b. How do you receive payment (Check, Cash, Paypal etc)?
Paypal and creditcard

c. What applications do you use for tracking your time?
Premember http://www.hesiodsoftware.com/premember

d. How do you send contracts to clients?
Mostly e-mail

e. What problems do you face in using your current application(s)?
None, I would’ve switched if they didn’t deliver what they promised.

f. Which tools / apps do you wish would communicate with each other?
Premember & Word, it would make billing a lot easier. But I believe a future release will get that option.

g. Is there an application that doesn’t exist that you wish was available
Not that I know of right now.

a. What applications do you use for billing/invoicing?
I really like http://www.getharvest.com for the billing and invoicing, also lets me keep track of time by task, estimate expenses, etc, and the dashboard view has some good info as well.

b. How do you receive payment (Check, Cash, Paypal etc)?
Cash, check, Paypal.

c. What applications do you use for tracking your time?
GetHarvest.com – it’s great for keeping me on track and I can import my projects from Basecamp.

d. How do you send contracts to clients?
I usually write the bid in Pages, create a PDF and upload it to the customer’s project on Basecamp. Usually they’ll hand deliver the bid/contract or digitally sign it and email it back, some actually snail mail it over.

e. What problems do you face in using your current application(s)?
None. Works great for me.

f. Which tools / apps do you wish would communicate with each other?
It already imports Basecamp Projects, it’d be great if it could import also project settings, but it’s not a deal breaker.

g. Is there an application that doesn’t exist that you wish was available?
Well, it seems like I spend an inordinate amount of time keeping track of time and accounting. The perfect app does exist, unfortunately, I just can’t afford it. It’s called an accountant. ; )

b. I accept checks as well as paypal/cc. I go through Cashboard for all online payments.

c. Cashboard does a pretty good job of storing all my time, but to track it… I use a pen, paper and a clock… I’ve been playing LiveJournal, but I’m not totally sold yet. It tracks the time you spend in various applications and gives you VERY detailed reports.

d. I send PDF contracts through EchoSign. It’s a great little webapp for sending and managing contracts, I highly recommend everyone who deals with contracts to at least check it out. It’s a great way to save some tree’s too! Clients can sign documents digitally by signing/initialing the document on the web, EchoSign stores the time/date, and IP address of the signer.

e. None really…

f. Hmm, I’ve got nothing coming to mind, but to those wishing for a Project Management app that works with billing, try the BaseCamp/Cashboard combo, they do communicate well with eachother.

g. Nothing in particular…
