FunctionFox was originally designed by an advertising agency to meet the unique needs of creative teams. It quickly grew to become the leading provider of timesheet and project management software for the creative industry. Graphic design, advertising, communications, marketing, multimedia, public relations, and interactive firms all choose FunctionFox – now the number one ranked time-tracking system in North America.
Creative professionals, including agency owners and managers, in-house creative teams, creative directors and graphic designers, writers, consultants, and freelancers all find that FunctionFox fits like your favorite t-shirt. Timesheets are simple and intuitive, project tracking tools easily optimize creative workflow, and scheduling, task assignment, reporting, and estimating features increase productivity, reduce unbillable admin time, and make creatives look their professional best.
There’s nothing technical about FunctionFox – at least for the user. Creative professionals are not always technically focused, and we have kept that in mind when building our software. Behind the scenes, however, our development team has created a superbly functional and technically elegant back end to support our simple and intuitive interface. FunctionFox is easy for everyone to understand and use. And we’re always available to help.
We have been in the business of providing exceptional time and project management tools to creative companies since 2000 – which means we have a lot of experience doing what we do. We know which capabilities our creative users want and need, and how to avoid over-complicating things. Over the years, because we strive to be true partners in our customers’ success, FunctionFox has also become a thought leader in the creative industry. We have developed a bank of hundreds of insightful and useful articles, white papers, and case studies about the business of creativity, and made them available free on our website. Our experience allows us to lead the pack not only in terms of our software product, but also as advisors and business coaches.
The field of project management and time tracking is constantly growing and changing, and there are many great providers. At FunctionFox, we focus on finding the best solution for each company (even if it’s not us).
Our focus on outstanding customer support is one of the things that sets us apart from others in our market. We provide friendly knowledgeable support free, from day one and as long as you’re a customer. We answer calls and respond to emails quickly, and work with every customer to solve problems, answer questions, and explain how things work – as long as our help is needed.
From the beginning, FunctionFox focused on meeting the specific needs of creative professionals. Unlike others in the market, FunctionFox aims to understand just this one sector, to discover its needs, and to build an efficient and effective solution. FunctionFox is easy to set up and use for everyone in a creative company, with a nice short learning curve and no need for expensive training sessions (free customer service includes helping companies get up and running). Our narrow focus lets us tailor our feature set more precisely than others, avoiding needless complexity. Another thing that sets us apart is how easy we have made it to add or remove users. This lets us grow with our customers, seamlessly incorporating new talent, or consolidating to a smaller staff if needed.
We are always listening to our customers and developing new features based on what we hear, adding them to FunctionFox and making them available to everyone – no extra charges, no lengthy waits for upgrades, and no unwanted changes, just what customers need, when they need it.
Most of our customers use FunctionFox as a standalone, because it doesn’t need to integrate with other packages. In fact, users are able to reduce reliance on other software – FunctionFox replaces Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for tracking time, and Word for creating invoices.
FunctionFox has developed several products to suit the needs of different segments of the creative industry, from simple, Classic time and project management, to Advanced Project Management, and a package designed specifically for In-house creative teams.
Classic

Premier

FunctionFox provides both a free Demo and a free Trial. The Demo is pre-populated with sample information, so there is no data entry required, and people interested in a quick overview without making a commitment of any kind can explore and test the software. Our Trial is also free. The difference between the Demo and Trial is that the Trial allows people to enter their own information – real life projects, clients, personnel and tasks – and to give the software a rigorous ‘test drive’ before committing to purchase. And of course, FunctionFox Systems protects potential customers’ privacy. Any data entered will not be sold, shared or misused in any way.
FunctionFox offers help as much help as each customer needs as often they need it – free of charge – from our first contact on. Not everyone needs us to help with training (FunctionFox is pretty simple and intuitive). Others need more support, and we’re very happy to provide it, through real-person assistance, our helpful training videos, or our PDF guides. We know that each creative company is different, and that questions can arise at any time, so we place no limits on how much or how little training is needed. As long as you are a FunctionFox customer, we’ve got your back.
Implementing FunctionFox ranges from very easy to ridiculously simple. Small companies can be set up and ready to go within 30 minutes, while it may take larger companies a little longer, depending on how many people are involved and how organized the company is. Most larger companies are set up with their staff on board within an hour or two. We have made the process clear and simple so that it takes little time away from more important things – like creativity and profitability. It’s just a matter of adding your clients, projects and people, and you’re ready to get your feet wet. Once set up is complete (with our help if it is needed), very little training is necessary to bring personnel up to speed.
We're committed to offering unlimited, real person customer support on every FunctionFox account whether it's the first day trying out our demo, or the fifteenth year as a customer. We're here to help and we will follow through with any issue until it is resolved.
We answer email inquiries as soon as we get them, and our support team (real people, extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people) answer our phones and your questions. We have also developed training videos and PDF guides that make it easier for you to start using - and benefitting from - FunctionFox. Simple and easy to follow, they offer an excellent way to become familiar with our products.
