What we do · Projects & Service Operations

See budget, cost and billing while the project is still running.

For contractors, consultancies and service businesses, profit is made or lost project by project. We connect estimates, purchasing, timesheets, cost and billing so project managers and finance look at the same numbers.

What we set up

Project control, end to end.

Budgets and estimates

BOQs and budgets by phase and cost type, compared against actuals as work progresses.

Commitments

Purchase orders and subcontracts recorded against the project before invoices arrive.

Timesheets and resources

Time captured by project and task, with utilisation by person and team.

Progress billing

Milestone, percentage-complete and time-and-materials invoicing, with retentions.

Variations

Change orders tracked from request to approval and billing.

Margin, WIP and cash position for every project, live.
