Flexible project initiation
Create multiple projects from a central point of reference with
ease and flexibility. Records 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.
Highly configurable
The project costing module is configurable for use by many
different market sectors and industries such as consultants,
engineers, publishers, architects and advertising agencies. It is
particularly suitable for companies that have multiple project
types to manage, where the set-up and data capture required varies
on a case-by-case basis.
Internet access
This entire system can be administered and updated over the internet,
making it ideal for project teams dispersed over multiple
locations, or where a very large number of your internal staff need
to enter or retrieve project-related data. Full security is
provided through a password system that operates at project and if
necessary, at cost centre level.
Standalone or integrated
Designed as an integral component of your overall project
management solution, the costing module is most effective when it
receives real-time updates from across your system. However, it can
be operated as a standalone system, receiving updates from a very
wide range of data sources such as hand-held devices or the
internet.
User-definable project status
On creation, projects can be allocated a status which is easily
updated as the project progresses. Typical examples are 'live',
'complete' and 'closed', with interim stages such as 'suspended'
and 'delayed' - but the definition, and number of statuses, are
entirely up to you. Reports can draw together all of the projects
designated a similar status.
Consolidating jobs
Multiple jobs can be consolidated and reported as part of a
larger project. For example, you could report
on all the projects with a specific contract number, with a common
customer, or run by a specific director. Equally, you can use the
software to report on an individual cost centre across multiple
projects.
Inventory lists
Using our web-based software, you can quickly and
easily list out all the stock items needed to complete the
project in question. Stock items, price list entries and one-off
items can all be gathered in one easy-to-use form, which can then
be sent for approval and converted into one or more purchase
requests if required.
Integration with document management
Powerful integration with our document management software lets
you view your documents via the web. This is particularly useful
for your project managers, who can view and approve
project-specific information such as contracts and invoices
anywhere they have an internet connection. Search tools make
information quick to retrieve and any documents saved into your
solution are automatically added into the document management
software for others to view.
