Hours
Timesheet submissions make base for all work in AutoPilot. Employees must submit their timesheet on a regular basis, to have the best foundation for planning and invoicing.
The more accurate the hour registrations, the more up-to-date the data. Not only does accurate hour logging let you know the precise amount of hours spent on a project, but the data that the employees submit, make up the basis for all other aspects of AutoPilot:
Planning
Planning your projects gives you an exact prognosis for your final project economy. Doing this on a continous basis, will give you an updated prognosis, from the start of any project, till the end. It will give you status at any given stage of a project and clarify, for instance, what capacity you have available for future projects.
AutoPilot lets you plan on different levels, depending on the size of the projects and your particular need.
You can plan on:
The planning interface in AutoPilot is competely integrated with all other aspects. This means that once an employee hands in their timesheet on a given project, the hours will be instantly deducted from the planning of that particular project.
Invoicing
When hours have been submitted, and you have done your project planning, you will have the best basis for invoicing. Sending invoices as soon as the right to invoice occurs, allows you to claim the exact fee that your work merits. That is what increases your economy and establishes the financial aspect of a healthy business.
AutoPilot offers different methods of invoicing, depending on the fee agreement. And different ways of sending the invoice, depending on the client.
AutoPilot also eases invoicing by encouraging the project leaders to assist the process. Invoice proposals are created by the project leaders, as they often know the projects best. No proposals are raised or sent, before being approved by management or administration. You decide the extent of access each project leader is allocated.
