ERP for professional services — resource, project and cost planning

Challenges for professional services companies

Consulting, engineering, marketing and service businesses depend on sound planning of time, people and costs. Without a central system, project profitability, resource utilisation and sources of loss are difficult to identify.

Linking tasks, hours and finances helps align client expectations with team capacity. Managers gain clearer workloads and can spot deviations promptly.

Do you recognise these challenges?

  • Projects managed across different tools and spreadsheets
  • No visibility of actual costs by project or client
  • Difficulty scheduling employees and teams
  • Manual time calculations and service billing
  • Clients lack timely project progress updates
  • Sales and finance do not share the same data

Our solution — Odoo ERP for professional services

Uvid Odoo ERP combines project management, resource planning, finance and sales in one system.

You gain full control over time, costs and profitability for every project and client.

All data, from sales opportunities to invoicing, is available in real time for better decisions and more accurate billing.
