Project cost a true financial software designed to help small and medium sized businesses manage their unique operations.
Project Cost has been developed for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that use GP to get the most optimisation from it as possible. It is able to ensure that the end user organisation can maintain accurate cash flow and project their profitability forecast with a single point of entry for both, to showcase both scheduled billings and budgets, as well as ensuring that historical and future transactions are displayed for easy review of the contract status making it possible to have scheduled transactions that can be updated or new items added as contract terms change.
The goal of Project Cost is the elimination of unnecessary key strokes and double entry by integrating to the native transaction entry windows. At first this may seem unnecessary and has just been done to showcase the developers skills, however, a common complaint from users of Dynamics GP is that the same data must be entered 2 or 3 times, and it can often be that it is during these duplication times that mistakes are made, and these small errors can be cause of the biggest frustrations of those who manage GP users. So by eliminating the duplication and the key stokes, they are reducing not only the time taken but removing the chances of simple errors.
This element of Project Cost is maintained when looked at the automation behind its single entry ability. Project Cost automates the creation of invoices, employee expense transactions, payroll transactions, project budgets, project purchase orders and much more. Again this allows for fewer errors to occur and has a large time saving element which is the goal of most users.
There are a number of other features which also enhance Project Cost, a key one is customised reporting for which there are a stock of over 120 customised reports, and by utilising the power of SmartList many more using ad hoc reporting – Project Cost can provide the most appropriate information for project management in an environment that can withstand current and historical audit scrutiny.
Project Cost is therefore an easy to use add-on for both the super user and the casual user, but also for the management where Project Cost provides a series of management tools designed to make projects easy to manage and understand. Create, View and Edit in an easy to use Tree View window. Managers can use powerful Budgeting and Project Analysis Tools to track the progress of any project, compare Actual vs. Budget and quickly drilldown to investigate variances.
