Is your firm swamped with various platforms for invoicing, project management, payroll, field reports, and more? Maybe it’s time for a change. Multiple technologies, multiple headaches
Editor’s note: ProjectBoss is a sponsor of the 2018 Hot Firm + A/E Industry Awards Conference in Dallas. A ccording to a 2016 research report by Hubspot, the average small to medium sized business uses 13 different tools to manage their businesses. Additionally, most of the respondents say one to five of the tools they use have redundant capabilities. And if they could have their time back, sales and marketing would spend it increasing the bottom line.
Mark Little GUEST SPEAKER
How many different tools does your firm use to manage and track: ❚ ❚ Timekeeping ❚ ❚ Employee status ❚ ❚ PTO/vacation/leave ❚ ❚ Invoicing
for project management. You use a shared hard drive or an online service like Dropbox to manage your files. You take on projects without knowing if you have sufficient resources because you can’t properly forecast on pencil and paper. The list goes on and on. Highly inefficient, expensive, and difficult to maintain. “The goal is to reduce technological complexity by using a solution that reduces the need for multiple technologies.” That’s where ProjectBoss comes in. ProjectBoss allows you to manage and track your entire business at a fraction of the cost (and the headaches) of competing solutions. Imagine how much more efficiently your firm would run if you had one cloud-based platform to handle all aspects of your business. ProjectBoss is accessible by any device with a web browser. It also allows you to have unlimited projects, unlimited milestones, and unlimited document storage (with sharing capabilities). Developed by and for a 75-person,
❚ ❚ Project planning ❚ ❚ Project estimating
❚ ❚ Project management ❚ ❚ Project collaboration ❚ ❚ Field reports ❚ ❚ Reporting ❚ ❚ Resource scheduling and forecasting ❚ ❚ Document management ❚ ❚ Project profitability
If you are like most firms, you have at least one different tool to manage each one of these areas. Timesheets live in one application. You are using Excel for project tracking and estimating. You use Microsoft Project or another online solution
