PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Try Ajera - Accounting and Project Management Software for Architects & Engineers
Projects are the core of your business. Completing projects on time and on budget
in today's competitive environment requires quick and intuitive access to project
information.
"The detail of project information that Ajera provides far exceeds the capabilities
of competing products on the market."
– Horizon's Engineering
Firms using generic accounting software struggle with the lack of a complete database
for project information, making finding data difficult if not impossible. Firms
using older A/E specific software do control the information in a single database
but the administrative cost to maintain and access the information is costly and
complicated. Ajera's easy project set-up, intuitive Dashboard,
and comprehensive project reporting give your project managers and principals the
tools they need to complete projects on time and on budget as well as identify additional
service opportunities.
Project Detail Access
Principals and project managers need real-time access to project status information
at the phase and detail level. Ajera provides this and more:
- View high level project information right from the dashboard
- Security settings offer a view of all projects, no projects or just my projects
- Choose from 32 different options to view project information
- Hours information: actual, budget, remaining and percent complete
- Revenue information, contract, earned, spent, billed in dollars and percent complete
- Profit calculations, billed, earned and billed plus work-in-progress (WIP)
- Drill down on any project to see project detail at the phase/task level
- Drill down again to see who, what and when work was charged
Manage To Your Workplan
No matter how you phase/task out your projects Ajera can compare your plan to actual
information for hours, cost and earned and reported percent complete (RPC) so that
you can manage your projects quickly and effectively.

Identify Potential Issues Early
The key to successful project management is effective communication. To communicate
clearly you must be able to view and access information quickly and easily. Ajera
readily provides project status information so communication can begin earlier in
the process and maintained regularly throughout the project. This distribution of
information is vital to a firm's success because it ensures a clear understanding
of the effect that changes will have on the budgets and deadlines.
Review and Estimate
Ajera provides easy access to the budgets and project notes to quickly evaluate
how a similar completed project compares to a proposed project. Ajera allows you
to compare and learn as you estimate.
- View summary level project performance
- Calculate actual billings per hour to compare to standard
- Identify factors that weren't in plan
Project Set-Up
At the heart of any project management software is the ability to handle
project set-up. Generic accounting systems don't have the capability to capture
many project details and enterprise systems can be too rigid and complex to be useful.
Ajera's project set up is both powerful and easy to use.
Ajera holds all of your project-related data in one area for easy maintenance, access
and retrieval. Ajera's fully integrated accounting and project system eliminates
batch processing, jumping between modules and re-keying data in multiple places.
Project information is automatically updated when any transaction related to the
project is entered which gives your project managers the information they need to
be successful.
- Use templates or copy past projects for quick project set-up
- Individual projects can have a unique and flexible work breakdown structure
- Add phases/tasks on the fly
- Include multiple customers in one project
- Track additional services within overall project
- Identify project contacts
- Track scope of work details
