Reporting and Insights
Answers for projects, people, billing, and month-end
Bring time, expenses, budgets, billing, and project activity together. Managers can move from a business question to the supporting detail without rebuilding the answer in a spreadsheet.
Which projects or clients are over budget, and where did actual hours, cost, billing, or expenses differ from the plan?
How much time is billable or non-billable, and what does that show about employee utilization?
Which timesheets or expenses are missing, pending, unapproved, or ready for payroll, reimbursement, and invoice preparation?
Projects and clients
Compare budget with actual hours, project expenses, labor cost, billing, and other project detail by client or project.
Employees and utilization
Review employee time, billable and non-billable work, utilization, PTO balance and usage, and labor cost with the filters the question requires.
Real-time project profitability
MindSalt calculates project profitability as total billing minus total cost. The figures are available in real time as the underlying project activity changes.
Expenses and reimbursement
Follow project expenses, reimbursable items, expense-report status, and the details finance needs to prepare reimbursement.
Billing and payroll preparation
Use approved time and expense detail to support payroll and prepare invoice output without presenting MindSalt as a complete invoice-payment system.
Missing and unapproved records
Find incomplete or missing timesheets, unapproved time and expenses, and other records that can delay payroll, billing, or close.
Make the next project decision with context
Use historical project, client, task, and employee detail to set more realistic budgets and understand how similar work performed.
