Flexible project initiation

Create multiple projects from a central point of reference with ease and flexibility. Records, projects and job bags are highly configurable and can be set up to capture the precise information you need. You decide how many fields you require for storing descriptions such as names, dates, numbers and values, and which terminology you use to describe them. Flexible cost centre structures provide analysis and sub-analysis in as much detail as you require. More »

At-a-glance view of resources

View your future commitments for the days, weeks and months ahead and schedule appropriate resources based on skills, experience and capabilities. A graphical planner gives immediate visual access to project detail and bookings while white space and unbilled hours have nowhere to hide. With total clarity of your commitments and easy-to-use booking and scheduling tools, you can plan, prepare and juggle activity smoothly and profitably. More »

Capture all time-based activity

Whatever your method for capturing time-based activity, we have a timesheet to fit. Data can be fed into hand-held PDAs, entered online, into a spreadsheet or any industry-specific application and transferred seamlessly into a workflow, incurring all the necessary checks and authorisations before automatically updating the project costing system and payroll.

Expense management

Every type of real-world expense is accurately captured and reimbursed in-line with your specific approval routines. Easy-to-use, web-enabled forms enable your staff to enter information 24/7, and large volumes of expenses data, such as credit card statements, enter your approval workflow without any re-keying. Using the alert functionality, your approvers are informed in real-time when validation is required, via email or SMS. Flexible posting rules ensure every transaction incurred by the business is analysed correctly before updating your system in real-time. More »

Budgetary control & milestones

Budgets can be set for costs and revenues at cost centre and project level for flexibility and passed through stakeholder signoff prior to going live. To facilitate logical planning and control, milestones can be set at any stage while weekly and monthly budgetary analysis enables you to take early remedial action on over-spending and under-billing.

Simple cost & WIP analysis

All standard methods for WIP calculation are catered for. In-built workflow ensures that every transaction, from purchase orders, invoices and journals to online timesheets and credit card expenses, is reflected in the most complete and recent view of your actual and committed costs. More »

Integrated client billing

Highly flexible billing means you're always in tune with the needs of your customer and the needs of your business. Invoices can be raised based on cost plus and contract price, with costs shown as line detail or a schedule based on the estimate or a round sum amount. Uplifts can be applied on a fixed or variable percentage with phased or staged invoicing enabling applications for payment and retentions to be handled with ease. In every case, reports and alerts advise when billing is due or overdue so you're always in control. More »
