Great tool with an abundance of features

Keeps track of project time extremely well.

PROS

Easy to see at a glance what you have worked on during the day/week/month, and able to drill down to individual projects. Good range of functionality on hand to apply for leave, expenses and reporting.

CONS

Would be nice to have the option of a different color scheme or text size

Vendor Response

Thanks Joanne, while we won't be adding the options to change color schemes, as the whole product is responsive you should be able to zoom your browser and still have everything look great. If you find something that doesn't look right then please let the team know! Cheers

Easy to learn! Can't wait for more features!

I really enjoy using it, the UI is very easy to get used to. Excellent program/software to help with operational and project management. I am excited to see what other features are coming up!

PROS

Viewing the current and projected margins have been wonderful to see and being able to see the forecasted income really helps the business strategically think of next steps to further grow. The tech support has been amazing and are always quick to respond. When I make technical errors, they have always been able to amend them without any trouble. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been excellent during the training process and I rarely contact support for queries as the software is quite intuitive.

CONS

I still find myself getting data from Projectwork and putting them on a spreadsheet to get more pieces of insight that would be good for the team to present. The integration with Xero has been good but at the beginning, with syncing them with the employees on Xero, we were having issues with the rate cards not accruing leave. Which created some issues with what employees were supposed to be accruing, etc.

Reasons for switching to Projectworks

We needed more insights that were automated rather than just a time-logging program.

Big or small, local or multi-national

We are a Staffing, Recruitment and Marketing agency with 9 companies operating in 5 geographies, 6 currencies and 250 staff. “We’re a small company, with big company problems.”Projectworks have helped us overcome a lot of these challenges

PROS

COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION: -Projectworks have catered for almost everything we need ‘out of the box’, with no need for additional costly customization.-Migration timeline from approving the tool, planning, design, implementation, training and post project Q&A’s and amendments was 6 months. Significantly less than other migrations I’ve seen.ACCURATE BILLING & PAYROLL-Projectworks allows 1 person employed by company A to work on a project in company B within the same instance of Projectworks. This allows effective and efficient billing to clients and hours for payroll – albeit 2 separate companies, 2 currencies/geographies etc.-Contractors being paid multiple rates for different projects are dealt within Projectworks.DEBTORS MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVED CASHFLOW-‘Out of the box’ integration from 1 instance of Projectworks with multiple instances of Xero has been a big win with the migration. Having the ability to integrate invoices and payments to and from with a click of a button – giving 1 view and access point for debtors and streamlining debtors management globally.RESOURCING AT THE RIGHT TIME-Resource planning and forecasting of projects, rolling the data up to a company, client and organizational level (within the tool) caters for effective resource management ‘out of the box’.BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE-SQL access plugs into any Reporting tool (we use PowerBI) for easy Business Intelligence required from different stakeholders.

Many "wow this is powerful" moments....

Many "wow this is powerful" moments...this says a lot. The more we dug the more we found we could do. Having said that, with flexibility comes complexity, so you need to understand the interdependencies and ensure that you use filtering properly to get the results you need. this is not difficult, just something to be conscious of.

PROS

We are a rapidly growing organisation and were looking for something that would help us scale. We selected ProjectWorks after reviewing a few solutions with an initial focus on timesheets & Xero integration. This was achieved quickly and painlessly. We then shifted our focus to resource management and forecasting. As we explored ProjectWorks capabilities, we had many "wow this is powerful" moments. We now use ProjectWorks for timesheets, invoicing (integrated with Xero), resource management and forecasting. Like all things, there is a discipline involved to get the full benefit, but the insights and benefits you get are well worth it.

CONS

Expanded capabilities to deal with parent child projects - most of it is there as you can track separate budgets and time within a project, but resourcing cannot be tracked by budget yet....this is apparently coming in late 2023

Reason for choosing Projectworks

Based on capability and suitability for our business

ProjectWorks for Professional Services Software Businesses

ProjectWorks has provided significantly more visibility and granularity of reporting - giving everyone in the business better data on which to base their decisions. The transition to ProjectWorks was handled by the excellent team at ProjectWorks and the follow up support has been nothing short of superb

PROS

Capacity management is a strength of the ProjectWorks product, the visibility of how people are allocated and to what, as well as the ability to see in one glance utilisation and availability is superb and probably the most important tool for resource management in a PS business. Also for Delivery folk, the ability to manage to margin throughout the life of the project is awesome. Shared views of Forecast revenue in one place, provides a central truth of the upcoming pipeline of work.

CONS

Some of the processes to do things (for example : Delete a project that won't be going ahead ) are very manual and involve multiple steps which makes them clunky. Projectworks also only really has two levels or groupings - team and organisation - and it would be good to be able to group the reporting based on more granular slices (e..g tribe/squad/chapter/seniority/location) or a combination of them. I believe that filtering will be introduced on customer fields but for now some of these calc's we do by extracting data and manually manipulating it in sheets.

Reason for choosing Projectworks

A mix of functionality, support and cost went into the decision process, with the selection weighted towards , "can we run our business using this product?"

Reasons for switching to Projectworks

To provide us a better platform from which to make business decisions

Good for Project Management

Easy enough to log time and manage resources via the portal.

PROS

Easy to export burn reports and log time.

CONS

You can't set rules about editing timesheets and for example rules about logging time. Also can't link parent and child engagements for projects so you end up with just separate projects to bill against.

Projectworks makes Projects Work

Projectworks is by far the best timesheeting software I've used across every company I've worked at - but it is so much more than that. I know the other business areas within my company have their own needs that are met with Projectworks, and having it all rolled into one solutions makes life easier for everyone.

PROS

As a user of the software I like the way everything is hooked up for me. I have a limited view of the budget which allows me to know if a project overrunning its budgets. All of the project planning, timesheeting and leave requirements I have are easily met with this product.

CONS

Although there are many useful options and features, it isn't immediately clear what is available. There is a setting that I now find immensely useful, but for the first few months using this product I'd originally had the setting disabled, not knowing of its existence.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback, if you'd like an overview tour of the product, then please get in touch with your customer success manager and they'll be able to show you some things that might not be obvious from the start. Keeping an eye on our release notes is also a great way to find out about those little nice to haves that are added each week. Cheers!

Easy to use with regular updates from the Projectworks team

A lot of useful reporting is available and has proven beneficial for our future growth, how we manage our company financially, project budgets and staff. The resourcing facility and forecasting have been key features for me. The switch to Projectworks was seamless and the Support team are very quick to respond to enquiries.

PROS

Nice, simple user interface. Very easy for everyone to record time and leave. Implementation was well executed and the support team provide swift responses to enquiries. Lots of regular tweaks being made to the system.

CONS

The Help topics could do with an update as it's sometimes difficult to locate information. The ability to add a comment when rejecting peoples timesheets or leave would be handy along with the ability to track changes to project end dates.

PROS

Easy to use and configure, on point with project creation, time tracking, invoice generation and the ability to integrate with Xero

CONS

Not having the ability to create billing rate cards that are based on a specific time period (e.g. billing rate for a calendar year), when changes rates there is a bit of manual work required to have this flow through the project correctly.

Great workload management tool!

Great. Really enjoy using it. Is an easy UI and takes very little getting used too.

PROS

Easy, one stop shop to manage all your Project needs, such as resourcing, forecasting time sheeting, and invoicing.

CONS

Is very specifically designed for Projects. I work in the support space which is a different take on Resource etc management., We make it work with PW but perhaps a 'Support module' could be designed for this line of business?

Thanks Antony, some dedicated features for support are certainly on our roadmap. Your customer success manager will reach out when we pull this into design! Cheers

Amazing Product getting smarter every day

Amazing product getting smarter every day. Much better and easier to use product compared to most other time sheeting and planning software I used before.

PROS

Web based, simple enterprise resource forecasting. Amazing product support. Good UI.

CONS

Missing mobile app with start stop time tracking, easier entry of repetitive tasks (no auto suggestions). No Outlook read my calendar translate to timesheet as draft, with AI module. In my kind of job (consulting) working with many different clients on many tasks it's still taking me quote long to enter all my time even this is not the fault of the product I would wish for a connector to my Outlook calendar where all my tasks are stored anyway.

Thanks Dirk, we are making a big investment into integration this year (including spinning up a dedicated integration team). Deeper integration with the MS suite is something on our list so watch this space.

Inexpensive alternative to the pricey, comlicated tools

Love Project works. Such a more intuitive tool and simple to use.

PROS

So easy to use. It's very logical. There are frequent releases with improvements.

CONS

It's great at resourcing and reporting. You will need a project management solution like MSProject to track project progress but Projectworks does the rest for you.

Reasons for switching to Projectworks

Open Air was so complicated resulting in lots of mistakes. Simple things took ages and it was easy to miss things. And it was expensive.

Well structured projects management tool system

Forecasting is made easy, helps us to see how many free resourcing we have to take on new jobs and grow the company. This makes it easy for everyone to keep busy and keep them working.

PROS

By no means I am a worthy candidate to review this app, but it's been a very straightforward process with timesheets and managing your time. Finding projects is easy, and adding your time to them is easy. What would be beneficial is if we could see the section in each project that we add our time to. Resourcing tab is also very cool - helps us to predict forecasting with jobs well in advance.

CONS

If you made a mistake in the timesheet tab, its a matter of going a little back and forth with it, wished it was less cumbersome to do it, but it's easy nevertheless once you get the hang of it

I mainly use Projectworks to fill out my time and check my resources.

PROS

Product was easy to use and very intuitive. It doesn't take up much of my time each day to use it.

CONS

When searching and using time codes, I think there should be a feature to pin a time code to a "favorites" or frequently used area. The save button under Time also has never really worked, and I rely on the program to automatically save my timecodes instead of hitting the button.

Vendor Response

Thanks Sharon, on your timesheet you will notice a little pin icon next to the timecodes on your sheet. If you click this then the code will be pinned there until you unpin it. Your timesheet will also automatically save as your enter it when you tab or click off the time. The save button is just there as a backup! Cheers
