New website
January 28th, 2010

Our new website is now live. We’ve completely changed the look and feel, and slightly changed the Paymo logo. We hope you like it – feedback is welcome.

Fresh out of the lab
January 25th, 2010

We’re excited to bring you some new features that will make your life easier and most probably will improve your productivity.

So, what’s new?
There are a couple of changes that you’ll see right away, like the new main nav bar. We’ve grouped together similar nav items and slightly separated them in order to make them easier to spot and click.
Due to the expanding feature set the Projects and Invoicing tabs now have a second level nav. The Invoices and Expenses modules are now grouped together under the new Invoicing tab.
The dashboard has some new additions too, like late & upcoming milestones and a recent activity log that will help managers to get an overview on what’s happening in the company.

We’ve also re-worked the Projects section by adding the following features:
  • milestones – you can now set clear goals for each project and get a big picture view by checking the new Milestones tab for late and upcoming milestones
  • assign user to task – one of the most requested features by our users is now live – you can assign tasks to employees
  • task due date – in addition to assigning a task to an user, you can now set a due date for any task
  • inline editing for task lists – easily edit task lists inline without page reloads
  • project overview page – each project has it’s own overview page, it will show you your upcoming milestones, project stats and recent activity within the project

Latest news
June 26th, 2009

Our development team has been working hard in the past couple of months to bring you new exciting features. Here are the latest developments:

  • a new time tracker version 3.0.6 is available for download. This version fixes small bugs that the community reported over the past couple of months
  • per popular request we’ve introduced a new and easy way of entering time through the management interface, make sure you check out the "My Time Entries" tab
  • new graphs that will help you visualize information stored in Paymo more easily. They are located on the Dashboard and the Reports section
  • due to the fact that Paymo is used all over the world we’ve introduced a new client field called "fiscal information". This will enable you create invoices tailored to your countries regulations
  • you no longer have to send invoices over email, you can simply send an invoice link to your client where he will be able to print or download the invoice directly from the browser
  • the tax name is now editable
  • our Canadian users requested a second tax, now it’s here!

Paymo – KashFlow integration, beta testers needed
May 27th, 2009

Dear KashFlow users, we invite you to beta test the Paymo – Kashflow integration module. To test the integration module please login to Paymo and type in this link in the URL box:
http://your_company.paymo.biz/sync/ (replace your_company with your Paymo subdomain).

The Sync with KashFlow works in both directions.

Before the actual sync, the system will analyze data on both sides and will display a list of actions. Each action will have a checkbox that you have to check in order the action to be performed. By default, add and update actions will be checked, delete action won’t be checked.
Sync actions are listed in 2 groups: Paymo -> Kashflow, and Kashflow -> Paymo. In each group, the actions are performed on the destination side.
E.g. an add action in the Paymo -> Kashflow group will add the item in Kashflow.
Due to hierarchical structure of items (clients, invoices, payments), checking/unchecking some actions will affect its parent/child dependencies. Adding a sub-item will force add on the parent items. Deleting a parent item will delete all child items.
E.g. When checking an add invoice, add client for that invoice (if the client was not yet added) will be checked too.
When checking delete for a client, all dependent invoices and payment will be checked for delete too.
After a sync, our system will remember the associations between ids of items on both sides. This is used when checking for updates.
A ‘Link’ action means: we’ve detected items with the same name on both sides (kashflow and paymo) which were not sync’d before, and we’d like to register that as a link.

Coming soon: KashFlow integration
April 17th, 2009

Paymo will be soon fully integrated with the award-winning, web-based, accounting application KashFlow. You will be able to use the timetracking features of Paymo to automatically create invoices within KashFlow if you require a more complex invoicing solution than our own invoicing module.

KashFlow is designed to be easy to use for people with no accountancy training. You can try it now for free by clicking here and taking a 60 day trial.

Paymo on Twitter
March 18th, 2009

We’re using Twitter for short updates on what’s happening with Paymo. For more informal style updates please follow us on http://twitter.com/Paymo

Latest updates
March 11th, 2009

As you can see we’re constantly making changes to the beta version and listening to your requests. We’ve decided to signup with getsatisfaction.com, a service that handles customer feedback and requests (from their site: “a direct connection between people and companies that fosters problem-solving, promotes sharing, and builds up relationships”).

In the beta interface you’ll notice a Feedback button on the right side of the screen, clicking it will popup the getsatisfaction widget that will allow you to post your feedback about Paymo. We’ll soon have three employees listening in to your requests and hopefully solving all the issues.

In other news:

  • a new windows client (ver. 3.0) available for download in the beta version.
  • project templates are up, still missing some functionality but usable
  • list/box view switch
  • a new layout of the reports section

Major updates – coming soon
January 16th, 2009

We’ve received a couple of emails from our users asking if we’re still doing ok, so this post is out to let everyone know we’re still alive n kickin’. It’s been quiet on the blog because we’re working hard on improving Paymo, going through tons of feature requests and maintaining the system. Although we did not “advertise” it on the site, because we think it’s common sense (but many of our users seem surprised that we answer each email) we offer free support for all accounts. If you have any problems please use the form on the website to get in touch.
