Status reports

Status updates have never been so easy. No more time-consuming queries to the team members. Thanks to the collaborative collaboration in smenso Cloud you create an up-to-date and correct status report quickly and efficiently.

The status report will only be published when you want to release it. The update will then show in your portfolio in real-time - there is no faster way to get information out.

Resources workload

We all know how complex resource management is and how often we have already lost the fight against the tool! It doesn't have to be a fight… with smenso Cloud you can see which resources have to do what and when and resolve conflicts directly via drag & drop. Charts, groupings and filters help to keep the overview.

Portfolio Timeline

What good is the best schedule in a project if there are several projects and you don't have know every schedule. You may have perfectly distributed all resources in your individual project, but there are still many tasks in other projects!

With the Portfolio Timeline, you can manage this effortlessly. Useful details and well thought-out functions help you to easily manage even large projects with many tasks and resources.

Time evaluations: Create detailed reports on recorded times, export PDFs and more.

Controlling

Projects are not only measured by the deadline, but also by whether the costs were met. With smenso Cloud you always have an up-to-date view of planned / actual costs and can reliably achieve your project goals.

And there's a lot more!
