DASHBOARD and REPORTS
As a manager you will need to see what’s relevant for your business: accounts payable, next pending invoices, top overdue invoices, top over-burn or under-burn projects and so on. Customized reports which help you in your business, starting from the basic timesheet, list of your employee’s time-off, billing, profitability, cost with your employees, forecast and so on, you can download them as pdf or csv.
MANAGEMENT
The starting point in using an application is to add the relevant data, in this case to add information about your clients, projects and people. All your projects are linked to a client.
Creating a project, with budget, hourly rates on project or on job titles (roles) for the entire project team, will give you a lot of information in clear charts in the project page. All the licensed users will be able to log hours on the project, or you can set for only the team members or the allocated people to log hours on the specific project.
With regard to your employees/collaborators, you can keep every info that you need in a single place: hourly rate or monthly payment, currency, the number of vacation days per year, weekly working hours, department, location, and so on.
RESOURCING
The resourcing planner is a Gantt like calendar where you can see at a glance who’s over-allocated or under allocated, who is available or not (in vacation or already working on projects).
Most important, you can see all the allocations using the people view – to check the allocations per person, or project view – to see the budget of your project, to have a clear view of what is happening on each project, who is working on it, and how many hours did you allocate for each project member.
TASKS
Create tasks on each project, with estimated number of hours for completion and priority, assign them to members of your team and then follow their status. The views for tasks can be as list, Kanban and Gantt, you choose what is best for the project you work on or the information you want to see – if is the status and what is the number of tasks in each stage, you can use the Kanban project view, if you want to see the timeline and what will follow (dependencies) Gantt project view is the most helpful one. But you can also check the information in both Kanban and Gantt view per person, where you can see, for a certain user, what are the tasks that is working on and for what projects.
TIMESHEET
As a project manager you can schedule your team on projects and each user that has been allocated, when will log into the system will see their allocations and will be able to submit the hours (if the worked hours correspond with the allocated ones) or they can add a new project/phase/activity, if they worked more; if they worked less than allocated, they can simply modify and submit the accurate number of hours worked. After the hours have been approved, the project manager or financial department can lock them so no one can modify any longer the hours, so an accurate invoice can be created directly with just a few clicks.
LEAVE
Leave management system (availability) is working together with the resourcing planner and timesheet. The bank holidays can be set by location, so if your company is running multiple locations, just add the location for each user in their profile and check the bank holiday for their location, in Settings.
FINANCIAL
Invoicing and expenses are part of the Financial module. Invoices can be simple, as you edit rows and number or can be automatically created based on the timesheet (for time and material projects) and based on allocations or milestones(for fixed price projects); even after you populate them with information from the app, you can still edit them and download them to send be sent to your clients. The invoices can be translated in any language you need, by creating templates.
Expenses, depending on the access level, can be only created and submitted, or can created/approved/rejected. Create the expense in the currency you have on your travel documents in, assign it to a project and attach all the document needed before you submit it.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR BUSINESS’s ACCOUNT PREFERANCES
Although each user can choose the language for their account, you can customize your company profile account based on your preferences and change them whenever you want
