Avaza Launches New Project Summary Page

By | Project Management, Small Business | No Comments

One of the updates to the Project Management Module is the addition of a Project Summary page. Users have often asked if there was a way they could get a quick overview of one project, without having to run reports, and we hope this page will meet those requirements.

The Project Summary page allows you to get a quick overview of task status for a particular project, as well as review the rate of tasks being completed versus the total tasks. These stats, and graphs (shown below), can also help you quickly ascertain projects that might be in danger of not getting completed on time.

By | Customer Portal, Estimates, Invoices, Small Business | No Comments

Avaza’s mission is simple: we want to facilitate easy ways for businesses to deliver their services to customers, all the while ensuring transparency and high engagement levels. As any research will tell you, this is the surefire formula for long-term customer loyalty for your business. Using Avaza, you take the first step towards that direction when you organise your client engagements in terms of ‘projects’, and add your customer contacts as ‘project collaborators’. This way you get your team and your customer contacts organised onto a single platform focused on deliverables. Your clients can be granted timesheet approval roles, enabling them to monitor and facilitate the progress of a project in a decentralised manner (major wins for transparency and accountability).

Time is thus your most critical asset, but how much of it is wasted in admin work or on projects and activities that are less profitable than others?

Meet James, a lawyer with license to practice in three different countries, which means he travels frequently and bills in different currencies. His dad was also a lawyer – back in the era when there were dinosaurs, and secretaries using voice recorders to note the beginning and end of client engagements… James, being Next Gen, uses Excel spreadsheets to track his hours, copying details across to an invoice when it’s time to bill. But he is often out and about, and forgets to track many engagements.

Meet Nicola. She heads up a web design firm and has a team of designers that work on projects for a diverse set of clients. She uses email for collaborating with her team members and Microsoft Word template for timesheet entries. She is considering upgrading to an online system that addresses the demands of her growing business.
