Real-time project cost reports

  • View live project performance, eliminating manual cost reports
  • Track all key project metrics across your whole business
  • Use real-time insights to make critical project & business decisions

    Does this
    sound familiar?

    • Creating monthly cost reports is time-consuming. Data is held in multiple spreadsheets and some reports rely on accounts data that is in arrears.
    • We're not sure if we're making or losing money on our jobs, until they're completed. It's then too late to take corrective action.
    • We can't easily see how all our projects are performing as a whole. This makes it hard to plan cashflow and understand our liabilities.
