Project management software for New Zealand, with the accounts built in

Run projects in the same system as your payroll, purchasing and accounts. Each project breaks into jobs with their own budget, manager, status and priority, and spending posts as it happens, so budget against actual, % complete and balance to bill are live for every project. New Zealand fit-out, engineering and facilities firms see over-runs early, while there is still time to fix the job.

What it does

Every project, every job, every dollar

Projects sit on top of the job costing engine, so project numbers come from real timesheets, stock slips and supplier bills.

Projects broken into jobs

Each job has its own budget, manager, status and priority.

Budget vs actual, live

Progress bars flag over-runs early, so you fix the job while there's still time.

WIP & % complete

Spent so far, budget left and % complete on every open job.

Multi-site projects

FAQ

Project management in New Zealand: common questions

Is this a separate product from job costing?

No. Projects and job costing are one module: a project holds the contract value and budget, and its jobs carry the actual costs.

Can one project cover many sites?

Yes. A project can span many sites, which suits cleaning, security and maintenance contracts that cover every branch of a client.

Does it have a task board?

Yes. The Kanban board lets your team drag tasks from to-do to done, alongside the project and job dashboards.

Can I export reports for clients?

Yes. Project, WIP, profitability and balance-to-bill reports export to PDF or Excel, and Ask AI can prepare them for you.

Can I use project management in New Zealand?

Yes. Choose New Zealand at signup, set NZ dollars and GST at 15% in Company Settings, and your subscription is billed in NZ$. Project management runs on the same cloud platform used across the Pacific.
