5 essential features for your application

1. Operations Planning.

One of the most requested features in an application is planning. Whether it’s to gather information related to upcoming operations—work orders or job tickets—and visualize it using visual tools like a Gantt chart, a Kanban board, or a scheduling grid.

By centralizing all the information related to workforce and materials required to fulfill a contract in a single place, you’ll have everything needed to plan the resources necessary to carry out a project or order. You’ll also be able to monitor progress and track the evolution of ongoing projects, making it easier to adapt along the way.

2. Sharing Key Information.

Managing information related to ongoing projects is a major productivity driver. With a custom management application, it becomes easy to centralize, share, and manage all information about your active projects. This accessibility and flexibility help reduce communication errors, boost team productivity, and streamline overall project management.

Take Oclair Environnement as an example—they chose to centralize all operational data on a single platform, which not only simplified their operations but also generated major administrative productivity gains.

3. Automated Invoicing.

In business, time is money! When you have a large volume of complex invoices to generate, each additional operation takes time—and time means cost for your company.

As long as the data needed for invoicing is available digitally, it becomes possible to automatically generate invoices—saving you the valuable time typically spent gathering, entering, and sending data manually.

It’s also possible to connect everything to your accounting system for payment tracking. And finally, we can integrate a payment solution like Stripe so you can accept credit card payments quickly and efficiently.

4. Managing Internal Information.

Another essential application feature is the ability to efficiently manage your talents. In addition to making it easy for employees to connect with each other or with management, an internal app can centralize all employee-related information—payroll, equipment management, vacation requests, reimbursement claims, and more.

Each employee can track their hours, time off, and reimbursements by project—all in one place. This maximizes satisfaction since they don’t have to log in to multiple platforms to manage their information.

5. Real-Time Performance Analysis.

When you use stats and ratios to represent the performance of your company’s key activities, you’re creating powerful decision-making tools for your managers. Through an analytics dashboard or custom performance reports, it becomes possible to measure your business model’s performance in a concrete and effective way.

A custom-built application is in itself a major competitive advantage. Learn more about internal management software by talking with the Recursyve team.
