Abak360 Features and Strengths
Timesheet and Expenses Tracking
Abak360 software is for companies like professional services firms that bill and invoice time and expenses. Users can log all kinds of time such as billable, non-billable, contractor time, and equipment usage. Users can associate these logged times to particular projects and clients, making it easy to track and derive costing and profits for each project and client. Just like time entries, users can associate expenses with a client and project. Users can configure different expense types and create pre-defined rates. They can also log expenses by batch and join receipts to expense accounts.
Users can easily access the timesheets through its cross-platform compatibility. They can log time using the web app, desktop apps, or a mobile app from anywhere. It has an offline mode and data will sync as soon as internet service becomes available. Employees can view their timesheets and accrued vacation days, sick days, and overtime hours. The integrated timesheet software automatically computes accruals so payroll and HR do not need to process them again. Each timesheet and expense report goes through 3 levels of approval for accuracy. Project managers can approve project timesheets for invoicing.
Financial Project Management
Abak360 provides teams with real-time project financial reporting to ensure that projects stay within budget and business remains profitable. From time, expense, and invoice data, the project financial software automatically calculates which projects are profitable. Budget control and performance reports will show if a project is within budget and on track.
Once users set a budget, the software will report its status cost-wise at any time. Abak360 allows users to manage project costs at the overall project level, project phase level, or task level for more effective control. The Work in Progress report can give details on how much billable time and expenses users can invoice their clients for the project.
Invoicing, Resource Assignment, Document Management, and More
Abak360 allows users to quickly create invoices using data from timesheets and expense entries, as well as from vendor invoices. It will automatically build invoices without the need to re-enter time or document expenses. It has a built-in Gantt chart to track tasks, assign resources, and time spent on tasks.
The time and project tracking software also has a centralized document management feature that allows users to attach, store, and search files across the different modules of the software. It accepts files in different formats, but a device needs the right software to open the file. Other features include mobile access to the time and expense software, dashboards with graphs and charts, accounting and payroll software integration, configurable workflows and alerts, and multiple reports for projects to track performance against budget, revenues, profits, resource use, labor hours, and work in progress.
