I am a Director/Partner
- PROJECTminder allows me to call up an overview of how my practice is performing live and in the moment. I can analyse performance by project or work stage, by team or individual or, should I choose to do so, a “snapshot” of the practice as a whole.
- PROJECTminder will also enable me to see how projects are proceeding without disrupting my teams.
- PROJECTminder will also enable me to decide which areas of the business to develop further, and which of my clients are most profitable in order to further develop my relationships with them for future repeat business.
- PROJECTminder allows me to see whether I should be hiring new staff (or simply reallocating them to other projects), or whether I need to reduce my overheads.
- PROJECTminder allows me to be better informed of the continuing progress of the projects being worked on by my staff, giving me a comprehensive level of detail to hand when conversing with my clients, for example when justifying additional duties in projects when compared to the original terms of engagement.
- PROJECTminder speeds up my cash flow, enabling work to be billed for as soon as it is complete, rather than having to wait until the next billing period.
- I can use PROJECTminder to view exactly how much time is spent by whom doing what. This enables me to ascertain whether an individual’s time is being used most effectively within the practice, allowing me to decide if an architect could be used more effectively on other projects than the ones they are currently working on.
- PROJECTminder enables me to communicate up to the minute news with my whole practice by placing it on the front page, keeping everyone informed of our success.
- PROJECTminder enables my staff to spend more of their time on billable work rather than on the chore of administration. This means I can ensure that their time is being used effectively across all projects in the practice.
- When deciding to take on new projects I can use PROJECTminder to ascertain my staff’s availability to work on them. What is my resourcing capability? Who will be available, when, and for how long? PROJECTminder ensures that I place my best members of staff on the right projects at the right time.
- PROJECTminder keeps my practice information secure and I can access it from anywhere that I have internet access, meaning that working from home or off-site or while travelling is not an issue, I can always be kept up to date. Also any of my staff working remotely can enter any relevant information from wherever they are, which means that project information can always be kept up to date.
- I can set different levels of access on the data held in PROJECTminder, meaning that I can determine the level of information that everyone in the practice can access at any time.
- PROJECTminder gives me visibility of budgeted to actual time and costs in real time across all of my projects, and can also provide me with this as an overview of the whole practice, allowing me to make decisions on appropriate courses of action.
- When I create reports in PROJECTminder, any information entered into the system will automatically update in these reports which can be drawn up at any time at the touch of a button. These reports can be standardised across the practice rather than everyone doing things “their way”, leading to a more consistent working methodology.
How will it benefit me?
