Consulting: one chain from proposal to payment

Deals and quotes, projects and the team, time and customer approval, invoices and receivables are linked; you see profitability from the same records.

Highlights in this bundle

  • Calls, e-mails, meetings, visits, LinkedIn and WhatsApp messages: every contact in one history on the company and the person
  • A rate card by role: a customer's own rate comes before the general one, rates are dated, and saved hours keep their rate
  • Customer approval by link: approved billable hours are frozen into a report the customer approves with a PO number, sends back or rejects
  • A report left unanswered for 3 working days by default counts as accepted; the customer is reminded the working day before
  • Invoice a project's approved hours by task, person, day or entry, with a preview before anything is saved
  • A 6-stage receivables funnel: forecast, planned, in customer approval, invoiced, payment day confirmed, paid
  • Project profitability uses each person's cost rate at the time, so a later raise doesn't skew past projects
  • Revenue recognition for fixed-fee projects by cost, hours, stated percent or on completion, with work in progress and deferred revenue
