FlexiProject key strengths
A good Cora Systems alternative gives the whole organisation one place for projects and routine work.
One document the sponsor signs and the system keeps.
The charter reads dates, costs, risks and products from the project modules. It goes through an approval path, and every signed version stays linked to the plan of that moment.
See next quarter's spend before it happens.
Cost and revenue lines carry a forecast across months, and lines tied to tasks follow their dates. Actual costs, with cost centre and document number, are booked on the same lines.
Hours come from everyone, not only licence holders.
Team members log time against their tasks in the browser or the mobile app, on free accounts. The schedule shows planned effort and logged hours side by side for every task.
Routine work in the same system as projects.
Audits, maintenance and reporting duties run as tasks outside projects, with owners, watchers and a repeat cycle. They use the same availability, so workload shows all of a person’s work.
Each division with its own standard.
A work area has its own charter patterns, templates, approval paths and custom fields. Head office keeps shared settings, and one project can be visible in several areas.
