Project Management Software
Project Management Software
Project-manage development workflow, cashflow and people from first appraisal to property handover.
Compare budgets and estimates with actual spend for accurate forecasting and monitor the performance and cost exposure of suppliers.
Cashflow/Appraisal
Data from your appraisal model is imported to create cashflows in Sequel. This can be as a single cashflow or separate cashflows per tenure if required. Users can monitor in the cashflow the current Latest Estimate against the approved Budget and view live cashflow status when transactions are imported from the Finance System. Tools within the cashflow allow for easy re-forecasting of the future expenses. Information on the Outturn Loan, NPV and Interest is displayed.
A consolidated view of multiple cashflows within a project can be viewed with a simple view selection.
Workflow
Workflow lists can be created and imported into each project from a user-defined library, which users can view and update to help keep track of when tasks should start and complete. Workflows make it easy to view progress for the projects. Links to documentation and supporting information can be created using the Office Add-in.

People
Information on Consultants, Contractors and other organisations involved with the project can be stored in this area. Each organisation can be imported, and discrete information stored in the attributes record how they are performing on schemes. Each organisation has a traffic light status so users can easily track key metrics eg. insurance dates are valid, contractors are within user-defined financial viability limits. Users can also create and send documents/emails to contacts and input details of Purchase Orders which link to the Cashflows.

Property
Unit data can be imported from the Appraisal into the Property section. Individual property attributes are updated with live scheme information. Users can arrange properties in folders/hierarchies to assist with managing attributes, as well as importing and exporting information from/to Excel. Data from these attributes can also be exported to QL and Orchard housing management systems using our integration tools.

Projects
The Project page is used to monitor key aspects of your project using the built-in traffic lights. Users can capture discrete information in the user-defined attributes (which can be tailored to each organisation within the system settings). Detailed information can be stored within the notes system allowing links to documents and emails as well as online sources. Key project dates can be seen at a glance and timesheets can be used to track work completed.
