Olson Engineering Project Managers had a huge task of reviewing project details, and Navision Financials has made this information manageable and ready to condense for client billing. On a daily basis, time is posted from all engineers, field surveyors, planners, and administrators. It is coded as billable or unbillable and posted to a job and a work order number. The work order number is tied to a client and shows the detail under task codes. With the new reports, Project Managers can easily review this information to see where time has been spent, determine any out of task items, and see if a project is going over budget.
Job history is also available to assist in pricing similar projects.
Navision Payroll is very good. Sally explained that the system has helped in several other areas as well. It has streamlined the end of year procedures including W-2 and 1099 processing. It has increased the efficiency of accounts payable and provided discipline so that each customer and vendor is now in the system only once. It also provides an easy check to make sure no invoices have been paid twice.
