Project Management

Manage your projects – do not let them manage you.

Always updated - never outdated There is nothing to "sync". Changes made in the field or in the office are made in real time. You are always working with the latest data. Need the "latest" plans - go in and grab 'em.

Let CoWry create your PO's and subcontracts for you!

Invoicing customized to meet the needs of you and your clients. Your Schedule of Values is a baseline breaking down the details of how your clients will be billed. Everybody is now on the same page.

Financials from anywhere. Just because you are on vacation at the beach doesn't mean that you are not thinking about the financials. You no longer need to be in the office or wade through a lot of reports or screens to get a grasp on your project financials. It's all in one place making it easy to stay on track of your income and expenses.

Track the data that is important to you. Every company has different needs and our custom fields allow you to track the data that matters most to you. No longer are you limited to tracking on the data that other companies think you need.

Track your projects from start to finish, advancing them from one status to the next. No more guessing about the status of the project or asking "what else is left". Using the Schedule, you'll know the percent complete for the project as a whole as well as the individual tasks.

Know where your money is (and where it went). Proper job costing is a must for any successful contractor. Our job costing reports make it easy for you to see your Committed and Actuals and to see if things are getting off track.

Stay on the same page With real time updates, your crew is always on the same page. Eliminate confusion, outdated documents, and other common problems. No more calls back to the office asking for the latest files or documents - you have it all on your phone.

Project based permissions You may want some employees to have access to all projects and then you may have some employees that only need access to certain projects. This isn't a problem using the Assigned Project feature.

Views and filters to keep the ball rolling No longer will tasks get delayed because you didn't notice it. Our Kanban view sorts your items by columns based on status so that you can instantly see the items that are waiting on you and items waiting on others. Prefer a list view instead? We have that too. Only want to see certain types of items? Apply custom filters so that you see what matters most. Best of all, when you apply a filter, it stays in place - no more having to apply the filter every time you revisit the page.
