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. We’ve imp

CONS

Nothing that the team isn't dealing with at the moment.
