BRANDING STRATEGY
As a company that bills on a time and materials basis, HTC realized the need for affordable and easy-to-use software to improve productivity and increase profitability by simplifying time and project management. The HourGlass name and corporate identity communicate the “crystal clarity” that this unique software brings our clients and our customers.

WEB STRATEGY
The implementation of this innovative platform requires a simple, user-oriented design that presents complex information with optimal page loads, easy-to-use interface, and intuitive site navigation. HTC has optimized the information architecture to adapt easily to all corporate hierarchies and company structures.

RESULTS
HTC has been using HourGlass since 2001 to generate all reports, update all timesheets and invoice every one of our clients. The platform has developed a dedicated following for one simple reason, HTC relies on it as much as other HourGlass users to securely monitor and process every company task. We have experienced the HourGlass advantage and we continue to improve and update the platform to meet the growing demands of our user base.
