I don't have a ton of work on at the moment, but for a long time I have been looking for the holy grail of time management. Now I have income to consider in that equation too..
- store info about remote projects pitched for
- store info about regular clients
- store history about past projects
- fine tune pitch material to bid more quickly and win more work - templates
- track projects across multiple remote platforms - API integration / message alert/response
- schedule daily work & deadlines
- follow up and schedule future work rather than once current work has dried up
- offline reminders via dedicated mobile app
- search multiple job sites for keywords
- spend less time searching for work
- time tracking - to get an idea of true cost, to flag issues to client
- invoices - templates
- billing
- tracking status of payments, payment date vs payment clearance date
- http://slymarketing.com/crm-solutions-solo-entrepreneurs/ - he recommended Nutshell - It didn't import all my data, and I couldn't view data that didn't have a person attached to it
- http://www.magnetichq.com/ ((ZA)R250 / month = NZD 26.85) - includes a timetracker, time manager, lead manager, trello type WIP board, Xero invoicing. Intro video is a bit amateur but feature set looks good and they are open to adding new features (but remember PockeSmith - depends who the target audience is). But when I started the trial I got an error immediately.
- https://ultimateclientmanager.com/ - USD 50 on Envato - developer friendly, long list of 'features' (like date picker..), lots of addons which presumably cost money
