App to Get Freelancers Paid

We are all too aware of the horrible reality of trying to get paid for a job well done.

For freelancers it can be a particular torment when clients withhold fees, and very often an existential matter.

A brand new web application aims to address this problem. Clientrol is designed for freelancers and can further be used by a number of professionals across many industries. It provides a unique pre-paid feature that aims to resolve the problem of having to chase down clients for outstanding fees.

According to a survey on LinkedIn, one of the biggest issues freelancers face in their industry is not getting paid at all for the hours they put in (31%). A further 28% state ‘having to chase payments’ as another issue they face in their respective industries. Clientrol helps to resolve such payment issues, while also providing the support tools needed to manage clients and work flow. It is an all-in-one project support and client management software.

Clientrol offers a unique feature whereby users can secure payment upfront by allocating hours to clients prior to project commencement. When the project is complete, any remaining hours and minutes can be retained by the client as credit and used for future tasks.

Clientrol was chosen as one of the startups to exhibit at this year’s WebSummit in Dublin.

Clientrol is currently in private beta and is available to try free of charge. For more information visit the website www.clientrol.com
