Stop managing your profitability in spreadsheets.
Project Management, Simplified.
At Simply BC, we see too many businesses that are “flying blind” on their projects. You might know if the company made money this month, but do you know which projects are profitable and which are bleeding cash?
If you are managing budgets in Excel and only tracking costs when the invoice comes in, it’s already too late. We architect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to bring your project accounting out of the dark and into real-time visibility.
Real-Time “WIP” & Profitability
We replace disconnected spreadsheets with a fully integrated Project ledger (Jobs). This means your Project Managers and your Finance team are finally looking at the same numbers.
- Live Budget vs. Actuals: No more waiting for month-end. See exactly how much time and material has been consumed against the budget in real-time. If a project is running hot, you know immediately.
- WIP (Work In Progress) Automation: Accounting for long-term projects is complex. We configure BC to calculate and post your WIP automatically—whether you recognise revenue based on Percentage of Completion or Completed Contract.
- Resource Management: Manage your most valuable asset: your people. Track capacity, allocate resources to specific tasks, and ensure you aren’t overbooking your key engineers or consultants.
- Billable vs. Non-Billable: Easily track non-billable time to understand your true utilisation rates and efficiency.
AI-Driven Project Insights
Projects are dynamic. Microsoft’s Copilot helps you stay on top of the moving parts without getting buried in administration.
- Project Status Reports: Instead of spending hours compiling updates for stakeholders, ask Copilot. It can summarise the status of a project based on recent emails, posted transactions, and open tasks, generating a clear status report in seconds.
- Resource Optimisation: AI analysis helps identify utilisation trends. It can flag when specific resources are consistently over-allocated or when you have bench capacity that needs to be sold.
- Smart Time Entry: For users, Copilot can suggest time entries based on their calendar appointments and emails, reducing the friction of filling out timesheets.
Capturing Time & Expense from Anywhere
The biggest bottleneck in Project Management is getting accurate data from the field. If your team hates your timesheet system, they won’t use it. We implement user-friendly tools that remove the friction.
- Continia Expense Management:
- A mobile app that allows staff to snap a photo of a receipt immediately. The app automatically recognises the data, matches it to the correct Project, and routes it for approval. No paper, no delays.
- MobileNAV (Multisoft):
- We extend Business Central to smartphones and tablets using MobileNAV. Your project team can log billable hours, register material usage, and update job tasks in real-time—even if they are working offline in a remote location. When they reconnect, the data syncs instantly, ensuring your WIP is always accurate.
