Why cheap tools are the expensive option
Seven twelve-euro tools look cheap until you count the person who keeps them in sync. Count it.
A cheap tool is cheap because it does one thing and waits for you to do the rest. Seven of them do seven things – and the eighth thing, keeping them in step, is done by a person.
€ per person a month
And after all that, the week is still planned, assigned and chased by a person – usually you.
The bill that is not on the bill
- Copying the same task from the meeting notes to the project tool.
- Checking the booking tool against the calendar against the project.
- Moving hours from the timer to the invoice by hand.
- Teaching every new person seven tools.
Schedule Operator puts the week, the projects, the bookings, the pages, the hours and the invoices in one place, and the operator runs it with you – so that the person who used to be the glue gets their hours back.
