We can see profitability on a job-by-job and client basis, and account handlers can see estimated hours versus actual hours and where we are in a project compared with where we think we should be in real time.
Build accurate estimates and profitable quotes
Discover the true cost of delivering each job, phase or task within a project. Synergist tracks all your time and costs in detail, giving you data to improve future estimating and ensure profitable projects.
Generate your client quote based on your estimate or using value-based pricing. Then, see the projected profit margins to ensure targets are met.
You can also see client investment - how much you've over or under-recovered across all their jobs - to make sure each client meets your profit targets. And if they don't, you can tackle the issue so it's not an ongoing problem.
Keep jobs on time and in budget
The resource schedule shows you the estimated vs remaining time on each job so you can make sure internal time bookings are within budget... and stay there.
Dashboards show you each project’s health and key financials at a glance, with traffic light visuals quickly revealing if you’re going over budget. Track quoted, invoiced, or recognised values vs actual time and costs - with a live view of percentage completion, potential overrun and profit.
You can also set email alerts to flag potential issues — for example, a job reaching a certain percentage of its budget.
