Today, Tempo proudly announces the first release of Tempo Books for JIRA, a modern and flexible billing tool on top of Atlassian's JIRA. While you are hard at work, Tempo Books is converting hours logged for each issue in JIRA into value, giving you the edge for more efficient customer billing and budget tracking for each account.
Tempo Books integrates directly with JIRA – the project and issue management software platform used by more than 40,000 customers worldwide – as well as JIRA Agile and other Tempo add-ons, including our award winning Tempo Timesheets, voted #1 Atlassian Marketplace add-on of 2012, and Tempo Planner voted top-grossing new Atlassian Marketplace add-on of 2014.
We've been pretty busy this year, doubling our product offerings by adding Tempo Books and Tempo Budgets to our suite of agile solutions for JIRA. Our customers have been asking for a professional services solution in addition to our time tracking solution, Tempo Timesheets, where price rates can be mapped to hours logged in JIRA. With Tempo Books, we took it a step further by also offering a great solution on a team level and for account budgeting. Executives, managers and team leads can monitor team utilization and how work logged by team members is distributed between different account category types. Get clear summaries of how your team members are contributing to overall customer profitability.
Tempo Books lets you budget, allocate, prioritize, and manage resources across your teams and accounts. Just click the Budget tab in Tempo's accounts and track progress with relevant real-time data. Tempo Books can be used alone or in tandem with other Tempo products.
