Integrated invoicing for international projects
Projektron BCS combines project management and invoicing in a single software package for efficient billing of international customer projects.

By supporting these formats, companies can ensure that invoices meet the respective legal requirements and technical standards and can be easily processed in the billing systems of international business partners.

Expense and fixed-price invoices can be created directly from projects. Intelligent workflows optimize the invoicing process and save time and costs. Different hourly rates, surcharges and billing rules can be flexibly adapted.
Projektron BCS also offers flexible cash discount rules that can be individually defined per invoice to respond to the payment practices of international business partners.

Projektron BCS offers comprehensive features for seamless time tracking and expense tracking that can be customized worldwide – ideal for companies that operate internationally.

Peter Schürmann
Head of Global Project Management, msg global solutions Deutschland GmbH
"Our projects are regionally mixed, from the project manager to the development team. Teams are often country units, for example a development team in India, an operations team in the Philippines and a local consultant team.Challenging and mapped in BCS: the responsibility for implementation lies with a global business unit, while the country organizations are responsible for contracts and customer billing. Projektron BCS maps our entire matrix organization consisting of business units and countries in its internal tree structure."

"As the largest healthcare company in western Austria, Projektron BCS helps us to create a good overview of the projects created, from initialization to completion, to work together across disciplines and to report to management.By using BCS, we are able to map a clearer structure in the project management of Tirol Kliniken GmbH and, thanks to the wide range of customization options, to adapt the system to our needs. At the same time, BCS offers us the opportunity to continuously improve our project processes – both internally and with our partners."

“We decided to implement Projektron BCS in 2018 and are still very satisfied with the software today. BCS impresses with a wide range of possible uses to cover our various requirements, a user-friendly interface and the individual adaptations. Projektron BCS is a practical tool that we also recommend to other companies.”
Manfred Nowotny
Board of Directors, OnTec AG, Vienna, Austria
“With Projektron BCS, a solution was recommended to us by a cooperation partner that already met almost all of our requirements out-of-the-box and offered a lot more on top of that. We can unconditionally recommend the tool to all companies that work in a project-oriented manner.”
Matthias Winterhalter

“BCS supports us in all phases of planning and implementing our projects, enabling us to execute them smoothly. We can access real-time data and thus manage to keep our project data up to date across all locations.”

“We use Projektron BCS for the cross-project coordination of IT development delivery results. The software enables efficient collaboration between our teams using various organizational models such as waterfall and scrum. This leads to a uniform recording of requirements and specifications, optimal utilization of resources and better product quality.”
Nicole Baumann
Project Management Excellence, Kendrion Automotive Group, Romania, China
"Projektron BCS is used on a daily basis at almost all Kendrion Automotive locations. Kendrion Automotive accounts for approximately 50% of the turnover and employees of Kendrion N.V. We develop and produce software, hardware and mechanics according to automotive standards and norms such as IATF or Automotive SPICE.In addition to the standard views in Projektron BCS, some views were created at our request. We like the fact that we can carry out configurations to a certain extent ourselves. In the beginning, projects were managed exclusively by the project manager, but today several people are involved in planning and adapting sub-projects."
Dr. Helmuth Pörnbacher
Scientific Director, apollis OHG, Bolzano, Italy
“The aim of our efforts was to implement efficient project controlling and to access the instruments for this from different locations. This meant that the decision for a web-based solution was made. Using a Projektron ASP server has relieved us of all the work on the server side – an important aspect for a small company. After several years of use, we can say that BCS has brought us a significant step forward.”
Koen Spekreijse
Head of Application and Process Management, CAL Consult Nederland BV, software development, Netherlands
“Because both of our branches use Projektron BCS, it was easy to merge the two branches. Processes can be standardized better, which in turn forms a good basis for quickly launching joint projects, communicating with each other in a targeted manner and thus successfully implementing customer and IT projects.”
