"Simple Design with Seamless Xero and SalesForce Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

It is simplistic in it's design and integrates so well with other applications like Xero and SalesForce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

Tracking project costs is difficult since burn is done based on Revenue and not on Costs. It is more administration to add markup to all PO's and Expenses, and the budgets must be done based on sell price, not on cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Real-Time Budget Transparency That Transforms Multi-Project Workflow"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

ProjectWorks was easy to implement and customer support has been friendly, prompt and very helpful.

It has been easy to use and has made a big difference in our ability to manage workflow and budgets more effectively across multiple projects and team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

We sync ProjectWorks with Xero. Leave, invoices, and payments can only be exported once. If any of these need to be edited in either platform after export, the same change then has to be manually updated in the other platform as well. It would be great to have a regular or on-demand sync between the two, so the data stays consistent automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charlotte Steel of Projectworks

Hi Alison, thank you for your positive feedback! The whole team really appreciates it. It's great to hear that your implementation has been smooth and that you're now able to manage your project portfolio more efficiently while accelerating invoicing. That's a great improvement! Thank you also for your feedback on our Xero sync - we do offer auto-sync from Projectworks to Xero for the following: invoice payments to reconcile exported invoices; bill payments to reconcile exported expenses and purchase orders; suppliers; and leave balances. We do understand your feedback on sync after export though, and this has been passed to the product team. Thanks once again for your support, and feel free to reach out any time in the future at support@projectworks.com!

"Effortless Time Tracking, Needs Better Overtime Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

I love Projectworks for its time tracking and invoicing capabilities. I can easily adjust time codes and assign blocks of time to invoices, as well as adjust billable hours and track budgets. I love that it is web-based and can be accessed anywhere on any device. The timesheet entry interface stands out as the most important feature because it simplifies the process for our staff, ensuring accurate invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

Resourcing is input intensive and not easy to keep up to date as day-to-day workloads change. As a New Zealand-based company, there's no concept of paid overtime or time off in lieu of overtime (TOIL) integrated into Projectworks, making it difficult to track and report this to Xero. We have to manually calculate TOIL and input this data into Xero. Additionally, the timesheet and time columns are in HH:MM format, but Xero and most other programs use decimal hours. It would be really helpful to have the ability to choose between HH:MM and decimal hours. Also, the ability to send overtime hours or TOIL hours to Xero is needed. I also don't like that the price is going up 17% and we just have to accept that and move on. I can see why it has gone up, I still think it is worth it, I'm still happy. But how many price hikes will I sustain and still be happy? I'm not sure. You should communicate and consult with your userbase for price-hikes well in excess of inflation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bernadette Keating of Projectworks

Hi Rexx, thanks for your thoughtful and detailed review of your Projectworks experience. We're so glad that we're contributing to simplifying the process of timesheets for staff and ensuring accurate invoicing for your firm.

We appreciate your note on resourcing input, the good news is, resourcing is something we are looking at working on. If you'd like to share any specific feedback with us about what you're after, reach out to our friendly team at support@projectworks.com they'd be keen to hear your thoughts as we get more into it. While you can type in decimal time into the HH:MM field, as you noted there isn't yet the ability to switch to it on screen, so we'll pass on your feedback about that and TOIL as well.

Thanks again for sharing, we’re grateful to have you on the journey with us and look forward to continuing to evolve Projectworks to meet your needs!

Response from Charlotte Steel of Projectworks

Hi Josephine, we really appreciate this positive review! We pride ourselves on granular user permissions and we're glad our refreshed UX is hitting the mark. Thanks also for highlighting our fantastic support team :) Have you been able to explore our new custom reporting feature? I include a link to a resource, but this is a flexible tool created for more technical users. If you contact us at support@projectworks.com with the advanced reports that you are interested in, as well as the utilization target you use, we can add these to our product backlog. I have also added your CRM integration request to the product backlog. Thanks again for being an advocate for Projectworks!

"Revolutionized Our Operational Efficiency and Forecasting"
4/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

I value the predictive power of Projectworks the most, especially for revenue forecasting. It's a game changer because it lets our team see where the cash flow will land months in advance. The resourcing heat map is also great—it's my go-to feature because it lets me instantly spot if someone is burning out or if talent is sitting idle, enabling us to make immediate course corrections. Projectworks also turns resource management from a guessing game into a data-driven process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

The custom reporting in Projectworks, while powerful, requires a learning curve. You almost need a data analysis mindset to use it for complex tasks. Also, the mobile app is really basic. It handles time entry fine but lacks project management controls and visibility needed for finances. I can't really use the mobile app when I'm away from my desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Charlotte Steel of Projectworks

Hi Tom, thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. It's excellent to know that we've overhauled your future planning and your resource management. Thanks also for your feedback on our custom reporting feature - it is definitely an advanced feature that is best suited to people with SQL skills. We're continuing to build on our inbuilt report library too, so that we can make data analysis accessible for everyone. We don't currently have a mobile app, but you can save Projectworks to your home screen via your home screen - I've included a link to a relevant help article. Please feel free to contact us at support@projectworks.com for any assistance in future! We appreciate you and look forward to supporting your firm into the future.

"Quick Monthly Forecasts and Clear Project & Resource Visibility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

I like being able to see our every month financial forecasts quickly and see how our team is being worked and how much time it takes to complete each task. Projectworks gives us an everyday summary of how the project is progressing and resource is being used, we use it to keep our team on track of critical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

The tool is created for advanced users or people who work entirely on fin dept, so you need to use it like for an entire month to get the hang of it, learning curve is there so if you are not using it daily then definitely takes some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bernadette Keating of Projectworks

"User-Friendly UI, Excellent for Tracking and Utilization"
4/5
What do you like best about Projectworks?

I like Projectworks because its UI is great and makes my work more enjoyable. I also find the project linking works very well, allowing me to connect tasks efficiently. Additionally, the utilization tracking is fantastic for keeping an eye on team performance. In the timesheet view, I'm able to open a new tab for a project and see a breakdown of the fiscal progress, which is incredibly helpful. Utilization and margin tracking are great features for assessing our team's performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Projectworks?

The timesheet view can be a bit confusing when using multiple timecodes for one project. It would be easier if it was clearer what timecode I am putting time down to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Bernadette Keating of Projectworks

It's awesome to hear that you like Projectworks because it's making your work more enjoyable and efficient with its user-friendly UI and effective project linking. It's also great to know that the utilization tracking and timesheet view are helping you monitor team performance and fiscal progress!

We appreciate your feedback on logging time against multiple timecodes in a project - you should be able to see both the project and each timecode name, however if you have details on how this could work better for you we'd love to know.

Thanks again for your review and we look forward to more enjoyable work.

Response from Bernadette Keating of Projectworks
