professional services
the optimal and personalized erp solution for your professional service mandates!

When it comes to professional services, nothing has ever been truer than "time is money".

At CTRL, we've understood the message and answered the call with a mobile timesheet fully integrated with your central management.

If your advisors usually work in the same place, a conventional timesheet can also be deployed.

Whatever the origin of time entry and expense reports, the information can be integrated and fed into a complete payroll if required.

Do you work with a number of freelancers? CTRL/Project lets you set up a collaborative work platform that's completely secure in terms of access.

Complete your time management with our CTRL/File CRM and manage your team's schedule in a fully centralized way, taking advantage of automated integration with Google Calendar and integration with Google Maps.

CTRL/Project billing is structured around the notion of applicable rate tables.

An unlimited number of possible rate tables means you'll never be limited in how you bill for your services, even in the most unusual cases. Each project has its own rate table.

Your standard invoice format is easy to define. However, if the context so requires, you can also define a specific invoice format for each customer. And as if that weren't enough, you can even define a specific invoice format for a given customer's project! Just one example of CTRL's flexibility.

Our CTRL solution offers you automated management of three types of invoicing: hourly, flat-rate or percentage of completion.

Information quality is a key element for any professional services company. Whether it's a question of input efficiency, research, confidentiality or traceability of your professional information, the CTRL ERP Solution is there to meet the most demanding requirements, thanks to our CTRL/Smigg application platform:

• Voice recognition data entry
• Complete traceability of information output (who, what, when, where, how)
• Functional security to limit the activation of processes (functions, utilities, reports, etc.) and work windows per user
• Informational security, to filter the information viewed in a given work window by a specific user

These features set the CTRL ERP management solution apart from the rest.

A web-based project management portal is now available, targeting the specific roles of "Project Manager" and "Site Manager". The latest addition to CTRL's mobile and Web-based management solutions, this portal incorporates the key functionalities of the Employee portal, with the addition of further features associated with the manager roles:

• Project manager-specific management dashboard for analysis and management of projects under his/her specific responsibility.
• Dynamic project profitability analysis by simply selecting the project: overall profitability, revenues, costs and profit by activity, and average selling hourly rate by activity.
• Visual summary and list of projects under the project manager's responsibility.
• Diary and personal schedule display.
• Access to supervised team timesheets for time approval.
• Management and editing of purchase orders and subcontracts on the project.
• Visual summary of the number of outstanding purchase orders and invoices on a project.

WIPs are an extremely critical part of time and billing management and for professional services.

As well as allowing you to define and structure the activities that make up your work processes, CTRL/Project also lets you define the conditions under which certain activities are billable or non-billable.

Directly fed by timesheets, WIPs in turn feed CTRL/Project's professional invoicing.

Everything is integrated, with no redundant data entry.

Before any periodic invoicing, WIP analysis reports enable you to evaluate and adjust the transaction to be invoiced, if necessary.

What's more, the profitability analysis includes future revenues (WIP) at all times, giving you an accurate picture of the profitability of your mandate.
