Real time reporting of accumulated costs in a project friendly format coupled with access to the estimated costs to completion means that the Project Manager can immediately make decisions from a firm position of knowledge rather than through guess-work. Timely alerts of any overspend within project tasks allow the Project Manager to initiate corrective actions at the earliest possible time.

Use ProjectMantra to build up your quotations from estimated task costs backed up by firm data from your previous projects recorded within ProjectMantra. If your bid is successful, the quotation can then be converted into an active project. You can then record progress and monitor against the estimates from the original quote. On project completion you can analyse your performance on the project and through this experience further enhance your accuracy when quoting new jobs.

Staff engaged across a number of projects may have a tendency to bounce between over and under usage. ProjectMantra reports staff utilisation between chargeable and non-chargeable time and enables the full-time equivalent contribution to Projects to be seen to facilitate better staff utilisation.

Using a standard browser and an Internet connection ProjectMantra data can be accessed and updated from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hence you can keep in touch with your team members at all times regardless of your location, whether office based employees, telecommuters or sub-contractors . This feature of ProjectMantra is particularly beneficial for cross company collaborative projects.

ProjectMantra offers a streamlined process to record and collate project working time, expenses and material costs that can be used to reduce internal costs. It also reduces administrative dependency enabling Project Managers to get project information when they need it.

Most projects are executed under a set of quality assurance controls that may require the project costs to be auditable either at set points or after the completion of various stages. ProjectMantra is able to support a need for auditability within a quality assurance regime.

Secure offsite processing and storage of project cost data provides one part of your business continuity programme. In addition, considerable efforts have been invested to ensure the safety of every business' data and, in particular, users from another company can in no way access data from your company or vice versa. ProjectMantra utilises financial industry standard levels of encryption, with secure individual passwords on user accounts. Offsite automatic daily backups remove that chore from the management of your project and at the same time fully safeguard your data.

ProjectMantra’s user interface is clear, easy to use and practical: the pages are easy to browse, information is presented one form at a time and each project member is only presented with information that is relevant to them. Each project can have multiple sub-tasks, so that you can tailor the system to suit your project plan not the other way around.

ProjectMantra provides a consistent framework across projects and thereby helps to promote a consistency of project approach across your company. The availability of common reports throughout the company leads to overall better business management.
