Our modular approach lets you pick & choose the capabilities that you need.
Demand Management
Innate's web based spreadsheets captures demand profiles for new work - project, services and business as usual. Pipeline reports show the skill capacity to take on new work, and scenarios help to evaluate project options when bottlenecks occur.
Planning & Scheduling
You can use Microsoft Project or the Innate web based spreadsheet for detailed planning. Budgets and constraints can be developed within Innate and copied to Microsoft Project for top down planning. Multi project reports and milestone tracking are standard.
Resource Management
Staff get assigned to the most important projects, based on their skills and commitments. As project task dates change any new conflicts are highlighted, and scenarios help evaluate the alternatives.
Timesheets
Web based Timesheets track how time is being spent and can record estimates of remaining work. These can be returned to Microsoft Project for detailed project tracking. Standard reports show staff utilization and project effort, and automatic alerts drive the timesheet process.
Performance Measurement
Time and cost variances for each project are updated as timesheets are processed. Planned vs. actual reports show how staff are being deployed.
Cost and Rates Management
Activity based costing ensures that the appropriate rates are used when staff perform different roles in a project. Changes in staff rates and departments etc are tracked for accurate cost centre analysis.
Expenses and Billing
Expenses can be captured as part of the timesheet process. The billing process applies appropriate rates to the booked hours and captures expenses for approvers to review and prepare invoices. Project profitability reports track each contract’s financial performance
Integration with other systems
An Innate Integrator manages the transfer of data to and from other management systems. A two phase commit process reliably exports csv files of time and cost data to finance & billing systems. |
