The Importance of Quick Project Setup

Written by Admin | 6/28/2016

Quick setup of projects:

Services organizations often find themselves wanting to run at their own pace and then quickly realize to be successful they must run at the rate of the customer. Billable time is critical to covering costs and making a profit. If your team members are ‘sitting on the bench’ it can be difficult to cover their costs.

Therefore, the software used to run your business must provide a quick way to set up a new project so the team member can begin working on the project as soon as possible and have the ability to accurately track time and expenses. Time that cannot be logged in your business software immediately when worked, because the project is not set up yet, can easily be forgotten which turns into lost revenue. No big deal – UNLESS – the future of your business depends on being profitable.

How does Beyond Software simplify the project setup process?
