The project controlling software: online and in real time

projectfacts offers you comprehensive project controlling in real time, allowing you to keep an eye on your projects at all times. This allows you to intervene in good time if necessary. The project controlling software automatically monitors all relevant data for you. When it comes to project controlling, you enjoy the benefits of the integrated system. projectfacts works with intelligent links and thus saves you time.

You can view the current project status from different perspectives at any time. As soon as time or costs develop unfavorably, you are automatically warned. A whole range of key figures and methods are available to you for checking:

Target/actual comparison

In projectfacts, you can perform a target/actual comparison of all project-relevant parameters, in particular times and budgets. This allows you to recognize in good time if individual sub-projects or work packages turn out to be more expensive or time-consuming than expected.

  • Target/actual comparison in real time
  • Recognize deviations in good time
  • Control labor costs, external costs and revenue

Contribution margin analysis

The contribution margin shows how profitable a project was in comparison to the order value. You can create a contribution margin analysis in our project controlling software at any time. It shows you at a glance all income and expenses that have been recorded in the course of the project to date. This makes it easy to see whether material costs are too high, for example, or whether booked employee time is driving up costs.

  • Record labor and material costs
  • Analyze project expenses
  • Determine profitability live

Milestone analysis

Schedule fixed or variable milestones according to the progress of the project. You can also differentiate between local and global milestones. The former only apply to a specific project, while the latter apply to all ongoing projects. You can use the milestones set for a milestone trend analysis. Milestones are reset with each reporting interval. The trend progression shows whether the project is progressing better or worse than expected.

  • Local and global milestones
  • Set according to time or progress
  • Perform milestone trend analysis

Earned value analysis

Earned value analysis (or performance value analysis) allows you to draw valuable conclusions about the status of your project based on just a few pieces of data. The basic idea is to extrapolate the value completed at the current time (earned value) to the remaining project time. Forecasts for the future can be derived from this: Is the project likely to stay within budget? Can the project be completed on time at the current pace?

  • Determine current completion value
  • Keeping project costs within budget
  • Adhere to the project schedule

Efficient project management with project controlling

Time and costs are cornerstones of the magic triangle in project management. It is therefore crucial for the success of a project to keep an eye on both components. The labor costs of a project are calculated from the time recording of your employees. All other costs come from the cost module and are automatically transferred to controlling. The system calculates income from your invoices. So simple is detailed project controlling with projectfacts. Project costs can also be easily evaluated thanks to controlling.

Monitor times

Record working hours

Comprehensive monitoring of project times is only possible with accurate working time recording. projectfacts offers your project team the opportunity to check in online anywhere and at any time. Whether in the office, at the customer's premises or on the road.

Evaluate project times

For project time recording, your employees book parts of their attendance time to work packages within projects. The effort for your employees is minimal, the return for you is considerable: working hours and the associated expense-dependent cost items can be accurately recorded and billed.

Monitor costs

Record all costs

Project costs can arise in very different places. Typically, personnel costs are the largest block. Thanks to integrated time recording, labor costs are calculated automatically based on hourly rates. Remaining expenses, for example in the form of material costs, can be booked just as easily with projectfacts.

Enter incoming invoices

Invoices are dragged and dropped directly into the system. Your employees can photograph paper receipts on the spot and upload them to the software online. Automatic text recognition helps with this. All expenses collected during the course of the project can be found in the overview. These are included in the calculation of the contribution margin.

The control center in your project controlling tool

A good project plan is the be-all and end-all of project management. This also applies to project controlling in particular. The better your initial planning, the more accurate and effective your project controlling will be later on.

Keeping an eye on time and cost trends

The basis of our project controlling software is therefore always the work breakdown structure, which you can create completely in projectfacts. It is not only used for preliminary planning, but also summarizes all relevant information about the progress of your project. This includes, above all, the time and cost development.

Monitor progress and status

However, it is not only the figures that are important for a meaningful analysis of a project, but also the personal assessment of the project manager or processor. projectfacts combines both.

The progress of the project can be indicated via the project status. If this figure is linked to the calculated project progress, it becomes clear whether the project can be implemented within the calculated budget. You can recognize budget overruns in advance and intervene at an early stage.

  • View current project progress and status at all times
  • Monitor recorded working times for individual sub-projects and work packages
  • Keep an eye on expenses for materials etc.
  • Intelligent warning mechanisms when time or budget limits are exceeded

Important warnings as notifications

The financial success of service companies stands and falls with the budgeting of projects. If the details of the task are not yet sufficiently known, it is particularly difficult to estimate the time required. This is precisely why it is important to know where the project currently stands at all times. In this way, measures can be taken at an early stage to ensure the success of the project.

projectfacts therefore always keeps you informed about the status of your projects. As soon as a project is not running as planned, you receive automatic warnings. With online project controlling in real time, you have the opportunity to intervene quickly.

You receive warnings and notifications directly in the software and, if you wish, also as a report by e-mail. This gives you maximum control over your projects in a minimum of time.
