Why use project management software? Discover how to maximize profitability and efficiency!

A good project management software is one that allows you to:

• Easily analyze profitability
• Choose between different billing methods
• Use preferred project management methods (AGILE / Waterfall, etc.)
• Centralize all documents and information related to project profitability (salaries, expenses, invoices, budget, etc.)
• Manage both your projects and other aspects (billing, CRM, time tracking, accounting, inventory, etc.) of your business in a single software.

To help you make your choice, you can consult our project management software comparison.

With our management software, you have several methods to create a project:

• Convert an estimate into a project (stages), meaning your project will automatically be created from your estimate. You will have the available budget, the number of hours planned, and the stage-by-stage schedule of your project.
• Convert an estimate into a project (tasks), similar to the previous method, you will have all the information related to your estimate, but the breakdown of your project’s schedule will be directly into tasks.
• Create a project, fill in the basic information, choose the billing method, schedule it in multiple stages, then assign different tasks to collaborators. You can also indicate the estimated time for each stage and task.

For all you need to know about project management with the software, you can follow our tutorials.

• How to connect data related to my project? The advantage of an all-in-one software is that you have all the information related to your project already in the software, such as invoices, customer tracking, estimates, expenses, salaries, employees’ working hours, etc.

With the project management function of the software, you have different ways to calculate the profitability and progress of your project.

• The quickest way is to look directly at the project indicators chart. This gives you access to 3 margins (actual margin, estimated margin, forecasted margin). In just a glance, you can know if your project will be profitable or not.
• The most comprehensive way is to use the revenue and costs report per project. It provides you with detailed information about what is profitable or not for your project.
• The project’s progress is visible at a glance, both in the list of all your projects through the progress chart and in detail with different progress bars based on the stages of your project.
