A manager's journey through BestConsultant

01Timesheet

He enters his own, he validates the team's

Thomas opens the timesheets. His own sheet pre-fills from the workload plan. Camille's and the team's arrive for review — he validates, and real days feed budget and invoicing.

Pre-filled from projects, training and leave
Entry in percentage or hours, weekends locked by default
Validation of the team's timesheets assignment by assignment
Reminders for empty or incomplete sheets
Validated days roll up into Monitoring and invoicing

One sheet entered, one team checked, no re-keying.

See the Timesheet module

02Budget

He steers the assignment budget

On PROJ-NEX00, Thomas reads remaining budget, daily rates and margin. He adjusts his team's positions before the gap widens — financial steering starts in the field.

Budget per resource: days, sold daily rate, daily cost
Budget price vs sold to client, gaps visible immediately
Direct link to staffing and project timesheets
Budget Used indicator (real days / sold days)
Monitoring options and overrun alerts

Margin is tracked during the assignment, not at close-out.

See the Projects module

03Monitoring

He keeps the project on track

In Monitoring, Thomas crosses consumed budget, monthly production and actual margin. The team's timesheets and expenses feed the same view — no gut feel, euros.

Cumulative view: allocated budget vs validated timesheets
Consumption: remaining budget or overrun
Monthly production and project margin (budget vs actual)
Advancement view across his portfolio of assignments
Cross-check of timesheets and linked expenses

Budget, real days and margin — one project truth.

See the Projects module

04Expenses

He approves expenses and steers costs

Camille's report arrives with AI-extracted lines. Thomas checks the project, approves the report — rebillable expenses join the invoice, the rest join the assignment cost.

Queue of expense reports pending validation
AI receipt extraction, automatic project attachment
Approve or reject the report in one click
Expense steering on the project's Expenses tab
Rebillable vs cost (margin / EBITDA impact)

From a photo receipt to project cost, with no spreadsheet.

05Leave

He also approves his team's leave

As project manager / validator, Thomas receives Camille's request. Balance up to date, period, type — he approves, and the workload plan updates with no double-booking.

Queue of requests where he is the validator
Balance recalculated before the decision
Approve for good, reject, or transfer
Leave visible in staffing and timesheets
Optional setting: project manager in the approval chain

One decision, one aligned workload plan.

See the Leave module

06Evaluation

End of assignment: he reviews his team

The project ends. Thomas runs Camille's project evaluation — form, signature, PDF. Scores and training wishes roll up for HR and what comes next.

Project, period or 360° evaluations
Manager as reviewer; training wishes co-built
Form signed then exported as PDF
AI summary to prepare the period review
Scores into the skills matrix

The manager keeps the call; the file stays complete.
