Hours Spent Drawing Are Easy to Lose Before They Reach an Invoice
A project moves through phases, changes after every client meeting, and involves people who work on several projects at once. If the hours are not recorded as the work happens, the fee gets negotiated from memory.
How InnovanSIS helps
What We Set Up Around Your Day
Phases as tasks with owners
Each project is split into phases with their tasks, so you see what is waiting for the client and what is late.
Hours recorded where the work happens
Timesheets by project and phase show how much time a stage really took, which helps price the next proposal better.
Billing by milestone or by hour
You can invoice a fixed fee when a phase is approved, or the hours worked, without rebuilding the invoice by hand.
Apps we use
The Apps Behind It
Odoo Community apps, the free open-source edition, set up around how your business works.
Project
Phases, tasks, deadlines and client approvals.
Timesheets
Hours by person, project and phase.
Sales
Proposals and fee quotes that turn into projects.
Invoicing
Milestone and time-based invoices.
CRM
Prospects and referral sources before a project starts.
Needs a Paid Edition or Custom Work
Some needs go beyond the Community apps. We say so before quoting.
Documents
Shared document storage with approvals, as a paid edition app.
We work with Odoo Community, the open-source edition. InnovanSIS is an independent company, founded by Cuban entrepreneurs, that sets it up around your business; we are not Odoo. Anything marked paid belongs to a paid Odoo edition or to custom work, and we state that before quoting.
Questions
Common Questions
Files can be attached to projects and tasks. Large CAD files are better kept in a dedicated storage service, and we link to them. The Documents app is a paid edition app.
Yes. Purchases and vendor bills can be linked to the project, so you see margin by project and not only by month.
A small studio usually needs projects, timesheets and invoices, and that is where we would stop. Adding modules later is easy if you grow.
