Key Benefits over Competitors

There are many benefits of using the eTrack all-in-one practice management system. Some key benefits over like competitors follow to help you with your business case.

Low price so all staff can use it at the same time

Practice Management software is a companion tool, allowing all staff to quickly view their schedule, enter time and disbursements, consult and tick off QA Tasks, send a document, look up a contact number or add correspondence. With no need to continually log on and off (as with concurrent licences) staff are motivated to use the system fully.

Latest Technology with SQL Database

eTrack is built using the absolute latest technologies that means it can interface with your newest applications and gadgets and looks great! The backend is a full Microsoft SQL Server database (or Microsoft SQL Server express that is free from Microsoft) capable of supporting almost unlimited growth. (Although it also works with Microsoft Access this is strongly not recommended since has record locking issues and is not appropriate for more than a couple of users with small data needs.)

World class scheduling and resource management

eTrack's flagship feature is its world class scheduling and resource management, without which a practice management tool would not be complete. Many millions of dollars have been invested in designing and testing and it is used extensively by small busy practices with a handful of projects and large government offices with 300+ staff and 1000+ projects a year. It graphically shows projects and staff together on one screen, with immediate update as changes are made and automatic update from timesheets. For a relatively tiny price you will have access to one of the best scheduling and resource management tools in the world.

Contract Management included for no additional cost

Contract Administration is now integrated throughout the core eTrack product which means all users have access for no additional charge. This includes scheduling and budgeting construction tasks, tracking all documents: RFIs, instructions and transmittals; defects; dates; fee schedules and progress payments; variations in scope, dollars and time; correspondence; emails with attachments; alerts; workflow and exception reporting.

New portfolio of Reports and Graphs

eTrack has recently collated an extensive library of custom reports and graphs and made these available for all customers. You can edit the reports, build your own, create graphs, drill down, group, sort, filter, print and export to excel pivot tables and dashboards.

Used by large Government Audit Offices

Exactly the same software is used by NSW, QLD and WA Government audit offices with 300 staff and 1000 projects a year which means you have the peace of mind that, if it is robust, scalable and fast enough for them it certainly will be for you

Financially secure

eTrack is a long term investment and you need to know we'll be there for you for years to come. With a significant customer base of both public and private sector firms across a few core industries, eTrack is financially secure to ride out the worst this uncertain world brings.

Designed by 100 architect companies

eTrack was not designed by a few individual architects but by extremely good software analysts who have skillfully captured the requirements of over 100 architect customers and matured eTrack over eleven years into a perfectly tailored tool for building professionals.

Latest technology with hosting options

The new eTrack version 8 keeps etrack up to date with the latest technologies including hosting/SaaS (Software as a Service) deployment options; has a new users manual with animated help; and a new Web Site with FAQs.

Australian made with direct support from original developers

eTrack is 100% Australian and its core developers have been with the company since the start in 1999 so know the product inside out. As a customer you have direct access to these developers and a level of support second to none.
