Xpert-Design Software was found in 1999 by Andreas Spang. The first couple of years the main product of the company was BackupXpress, which sold all over the world. Besides BackupXpress a project time tracking tool named "Project Timer" was developed and distributed as freeware. In 2005 the company decided to rename the product to "Xpert-Timer", add multiple functions and start selling it worldwide. Since then, Xpert-Timer has grown significantly and serves over 1000 customers worldwide. The mobile version for Android was introduced in October 2010 and has sold over 1000 times worldwide so far. BackupXpress was taken off the market in 2010.
Xpert-Timer, available in the version Pro, Basic and Mobile allows to track time on projects or tasks. Xpert-Timer Pro and Xpert-Timber Basic are Windows based, while Xpert-Timer Mobile runs on Android Smartphones. All versions are for tracking time on certain projects or tasks. Xpert-Timer Pro and Basic additionally include a To-Do List. Xpert-Timer Pro is multi user compatible, while Xpert-Timer Basic is only available for single users. This way it allows a whole project team to book time on one and the same project. Multiple reports are included in the system. Timestamps can be grouped by user, project or by date and be exportet to Excel or .csv for further use.[1]
Xpert-Timer tracks time for billable or non-billable projects. Each project can have its' own price.
Reimbursable expenses can be attributed to a particular project.[2]
Xpert-Timer creates timestamps every time the start or stop button is pushed in the software. Timestamp comments can be added to every timestamp. Reports can be filtered by project, user, date or billing status. A customizable report to match or corporate idetity is included.

Mobile users can synchronize data between the Xpert-Timer MOBILE and Xpert-Timer Pro version. The interface is XTWebserver, which acts as the interface between the two databases. Xpert-Timer is also a standalone App, so it does not depend on Xpert-Timer PRO and can be used itself as well.[3][4][5]
Xpert-Timer includes preconfigured instant reports that support common needs to view time and expense data. XTReport, an additional module includes the third party FastReport Report Builder.
