Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
TimeLinx Software runs inside Sage CRM and shares its data model. The vendor describes it as a lead-to-cash tool for service businesses. One record moves from sales into project or work order planning, then through time and expense capture, billing, and finally into the accounting system. The scheduling board is drag and drop. It has multi-project Gantt views, resource heatmaps, overbooking alerts, and skill and location filters, and it can schedule equipment and vehicles as well as people. Field staff use the SmartMobile app, which works offline, to log time, expenses, photos, and signatures. The billing engine supports billing by project, task, consultant, or customer, plus retainers and minimum charges. Approved work syncs as invoices into Sage 100, 300, X3, Intacct, or Sage 200. Directories also list Microsoft Dynamics GP, Infor CRM, and QuickBooks Online integrations. The best fit is a consulting, IT services, construction, or field service company of 35 to several hundred users that already runs Sage. The vendor does not publish prices. Directory listings show roughly 45 USD per full user and 25 USD per mobile user per month, with support and training billed separately. Implementation packages such as SureStart are sold as services. The main limitation is that it depends on the Sage ecosystem. Reviewers also report a steep learning curve and an interface that looks dated next to standalone project tools.
