What it covers
True profitability, project by project
Invoicing is not the same as making money. The projects module allocates revenue, direct costs, overheads, hours and orders to each project, phase, project manager or client, and computes real margin at every month-end close.
That lets you identify which projects generate margin and which destroy it, adjust rates and future budgets, and report to internal clients with consistent data. All with drill-through to the timesheet, invoice or source entry.
The essentials
- Real margin
- Revenue, direct and indirect costs
- Hours & orders
- Time valued at rates
- Ranking
- Best and worst projects
The problem
You know what you bill, not what you earn
Without project reporting, you budget the future looking only at revenue. That hides the projects destroying margin.
Costs not allocated to project
Hours in a parallel Excel
No margin per phase or project manager
Commercial decisions without data

Context and approach
When a company invoices by project, real margin does not show in the entity P&L: it shows at project level. And yet, many organisations still make commercial decisions without knowing which projects make money and which destroy it.
Quickbidata allocates revenue, direct costs, indirect costs, hours and orders to each project, phase, project manager and customer. It calculates real margin at each month close and keeps a live ranking of best and worst projects to decide where to double down, where to renegotiate and which projects to avoid.
The module integrates with the ERP, timesheets and project management tools, so data does not require double entry and profitability is updated with every invoice, timesheet or order.
