Project, budgets & invoicing
B-Com accompanies agencies in responding to proposals and
defining budgets for each project thanks to its project and budget
management tool.
With B-Com, accounts executives are able to create projects based
on pre-configured templates for each type of event or for each client
for example. A number of qualitative and quantitative information
about the project are stored into the cover sheet either in native
fields or in custom fields, with no limit to the number of custom fields
configured.
Once the project is created, account executives define the team
working on the project. The contacts that are defined in the team will
have a role in the project life cycle, and thus will be easily identified
through adequate reporting.
B-Com project management tool also offers an external file
repository which allows controlling across projects if all files have
been stored in compliance with internal and external processes.
