QuickBooks vulnerability:
Disparate Systems
PMs keep separate systems in spreadsheets because they can’t access or don’t trust the corporate system for project information.
The result? Too much time spent reconciling siloed project data and no real-time project insights.
The Unanet Advantage:
One system for all projects
Get real-time insights across all projects, resources and financials in one application. No disparate systems means no double-entry, no spreadsheets to “books” reconciliation and no out of date project reporting.
QuickBooks vulnerability:
Costly Errors
Spreadsheet-based billing processes are expensive and time-consuming to maintain, not to mention error-prone and almost impossible to document. When an error occurs, finding the bad data or formula can take hours. Not finding it is even worse.
The Unanet Advantage:
Automated Invoicing
Automate your billing process from a single-source of truth that is easy to review, adjust and invoice. Flexible templates and streamlined invoicing help you deliver more accurate invoices fast with revenue calculated and recognized instantly, drastically shortening your invoicing cycle and increasing time to cash.
QuickBooks vulnerability:
Rising costs
There are no economies of scale associated with disparate systems or spreadsheet billing. So, you consume twice the resources. PM costs to maintain shadow systems increase. Spreadsheet billing increases G&A costs directly with project count.
The Unanet Advantage:
Increased efficiencies
Achieve significant economies of scale with each new project - with true, fully integrated ERP systems. Project Managers have visibility into cost and status information, amounts billed and resource consumption and availability - all without keying any data into spreadsheets. And the reports they give customers always match the bills.
QuickBooks vulnerability:
Poor processes
Internal controls based on spreadsheets and periodic updates put the focus on detecting mistakes, not preventing them. Fixing a misstep in the compliance arena can be very expensive.
The Unanet Advantage:
Compliance by design
An ERP system purpose built for government contracting performs data assurance as it’s entered, not after the fact as a separate process. When compliance is designed in, it becomes an outcome and a state, not an effort or a process.
QuickBooks vulnerability:
Lagging reports
Project and Financial Metrics are lagging 4-6 weeks, with no way to course correct. All you have is an error-prone, outdated periodic snapshot.
The Unanet Advantage:
Continuous insight
Report, analyze, and visualize data for business drivers, including resource allocation, revenue, cost, cash flow, and profitability. Leverage real-time, interactive reporting and analytics to make informed business decisions with confidence.
