Improve Project Costing with automated time sheets
Most orgnaisations have some form of project costing, whether it be an Excel spreadsheet, MS Project or a good old fashioned pen, paper and calculator. With Atlantic Global OnDemand we provide the software tools to accurately predict future project costs, but more importantly to assess how accurate those costings are through the duration of the project through accurate automated time sheets.
Accurately predict future project costs
Atlantic Global OnDemand includes two methods for costing your projects. The most basic principle is to define the number of man days per role which will be required on a project. These can be estimated across tasks, days, weeks, months or any user defined date period. Users can then gain a cost and revenue summary. The second method is to create a detailed project plan and breakdown the cost by the roles or resources required to deliver the project along with any predicted expenditure. Both methods have a place and can be used in tandem.
Use automated time sheets to assess performance
Whichever method your organisation chooses for generating your project costs, it is essential to tracks time sheets in order to assess the accuracy of your costings, to analyse work in progress and to ensure the accurate billing of time. Atlantic Global OnDemand provides a simple intuitive user interface for time capture. All time, cost and revenue is automatically apportioned against the appropriate project without any interaction from the user.
