The Project Service Automation (PSA) application helps organizations efficiently track, manage, and deliver project-based services, from the initial sale all the way to invoicing. The app enables you to:

  • Plan projects, and create estimates and work schedules
  • Estimate and track project cost and revenue
  • Forecast resource requirements for projects in the pipeline
  • Track project progress and cost consumption
  • Manage quoting, pricing, and billing for projects
  • Assign and manage resources
  • Use reports and interactive dashboards to monitor key performance indicators for successful projects
  • ...and more

In addition, to help you monitor and control costs for your project-based work, individual consultants easily enter and track project time and expenses either on mobile or using a web browser.
