After approximately 3 months, we are satisfied with the resulting intel—cross-departmental clarity of resource allocation and clear project paths. As we move forward into the billing integration phase, I am very hopeful that the ability to track expenses with the jobs and enter all fees and estimates will streamline our month-end process considerably.,Project Scheduling

It is how we manage projects, enter time and estimate projects. We have it integrated with QuickBooks for billing and use it for in-depth analysis of profitability, forecasting and resource allocation. It is highly intuitive and provides us with the advanced analysis abilities that we were lacking with our previous solution.,Financial analysis and reporting is one of the tool's primary differentiators
Function Point has tremendous support and is very helpful when we have questions or issues
Time tracking and project management is also very solid
Estimating, statements of work and new project setup is very easy,While it includes a CRM of sorts, the functionality is not what you would get from a stand alone CRM like Salesforce, or even Hubspot CRM
It would be nice if it had more out of the box integrations, specifically for marketing automation platforms
While it is easy to use, it requires a lot of training and there is definitely a learning curve,9,We have a much more timely and accurate sense of our financials since switching to FunctionPoint
Our team is more efficient at tracking time, and we are much more able to track resources and profitability

We found that Function Point was one of the only options that gave us everything we needed without being overwhelming for the team to learn. It is used by our whole company.,Estimating Projects

Our sales team uses it to create statements of work for clients, and every employee uses it to track time every day. FunctionPoint provides a solution to the gaps between sales and execution of work for our organization. As an agency, tracking time is everything. FunctionPoint makes it easy for every employee to make sure that the right amount of time is tracked to the right place and billed at the right time.,Time tracking - like several time tracking solutions, FP uses a clock that will track in real time so that you do not need to remember how long you worked on a project to input later.
Dashboards - I love FP's dashboards that let me track my personal utilization, the utilization of my team members and all of my open tasks.
Reporting - FP's reports provide insight organization-wide into how we are doing and where we (as an organization) are spending our time. As with any reporting, though, it is important to manage the cleanliness of your data to make the reporting useful.,Project based billing - when a project is fixed bid, the only way for us to track this accurately in FP dollars is to bill the number of hours equal to the dollar amount which may inflate or under-represent the number of actual hours worked.
Kanban - FP lacks a Kanban board for moving tasks through a workflow in a visually meaningful way.
Shared tasks - sometimes two people need to work on the same task at the same time. FP makes this difficult because each task can only be owned by one person at a time, so it needs to be passed back and forth.,9,Efficient time tracking
