Many SMEs work on projects every day.

Nevertheless, projects are still often managed using:

  • Excel spreadsheets
  • separate tools
  • paper reports
  • emails
  • manual evaluations

This quickly leads to disconnected workflows, duplicate work, and limited transparency.

Why Modern Project Management Matters

Project management today means far more than simply organizing tasks.

It connects:

  • customers
  • services
  • working hours
  • documents
  • invoices
  • costs
  • accounting

within one centralized workflow.

The better these areas work together, the more efficiently projects can be managed.

The Typical Challenges

Many companies regularly face situations such as:

  • limited visibility into project status
  • manual time reports
  • documents stored across multiple folders
  • billable services forgotten
  • no real-time cost overview
  • inconsistent data across systems

As the number of projects increases, complexity grows significantly.

The Saldio Approach

Saldio connects:

  • projects
  • time tracking
  • documents
  • invoices
  • payments
  • accounting

within one integrated platform.

This creates a centralized overview of all project-related information.

1. Centralized Project Management

Projects can directly be created and managed in Saldio.

Examples include:

  • customer projects
  • service assignments
  • internal projects
  • recurring work

Each project receives a centralized structure.

2. Track Services and Working Hours

Working hours and services can directly be assigned to projects.

Examples:

  • working hours
  • service reports
  • material costs
  • travel time
  • external services

This keeps project expenses transparent at all times.

3. Linked Documents

Project-related documents can centrally be stored and linked.

Examples:

  • quotations
  • contracts
  • invoices
  • plans
  • reports
  • images

This eliminates manual searching across different folders.

4. Billing Projects

Billable services can directly be transferred into invoices.

This reduces:

  • manual effort
  • duplicate data entry
  • the risk of forgotten services

5. Integrated Accounting

Project information remains directly connected to:

  • invoices
  • payments
  • accounting entries
  • customers
  • costs

This creates a real-time financial overview for each project.

Benefits for SMEs

Why Small Businesses Benefit the Most

Small businesses often:

  • operate on a project basis
  • use multiple disconnected tools
  • spend too much time on administration

An integrated system reduces administrative effort while improving visibility and organization.
