Project management software
- Tasks & deadlines
- Timesheets
- Job profitability
Project management software organises tasks, deadlines and responsibilities, and tracks worked hours. In Odoo, projects are linked to sales and billing: logged hours can become an invoice, and reports show the real profitability of each job, not just progress.
What project management software is
It's the system a team uses to plan work, assign it and follow progress: tasks, deadlines, dependencies and owners in a shared view. When it also logs hours and links to billing, it stops being just a to-do list and becomes the tool to understand whether a project is on time and profitable.
From plan to profitability
Every worked hour stays linked to the task and the project.
- 01
Planning
Define the project's tasks with deadlines, priorities and dependencies, in kanban or Gantt view.
- 02
Assignment
Assign tasks to the right people and everyone sees on their own what to do and when.
- 03
Timesheet logging
The team logs hours on tasks, distinguishing billable from internal time.
- 04
Progress
Project status is always visible, with the comparison between planned and actual.
- 05
Billing & wrap-up
Billable hours become an invoice; reports show the job's costs, revenue and margin.
What Odoo's projects handle
The features we most often configure for service SMEs.
Tasks in kanban and Gantt
Organise tasks by stage, with deadlines, priorities and dependencies, in the view you prefer.
Timesheets
Log hours on tasks, distinguishing billable from internal time.
Milestones & deadlines
Milestones and deadlines keep the project on track and surface delays early.
Collaboration
Notes, attachments and discussion (chatter) stay on the task, so context isn't lost in emails.
Time billing
Billable hours turn into an invoice, linking the work done to revenue.
Project profitability
Reports compare the job's costs and revenue, to understand which projects really pay off.
To-do lists vs integrated project management
What changes between scattered lists and project management linked to hours and billing.
| Lists and email | Integrated projects (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks | Scattered across tools and people | In a shared view by stage |
| Hours | Estimated or not logged | Logged on the task |
| Billing | Reconstructed by hand at project end | From billable hours |
| Progress | Hard to see in time | Planned vs actual |
| Profitability | Unknown until the end | Costs and margin per job |
From quote to project to invoice
Projects are linked to the rest: a services sales order can create the project and its tasks; logged hours feed billing and analytic accounting by cost centre. It's the same data linking what you sold, the work done and what you invoice, so profitability isn't an estimate but a number.
Who it's for
Service companies and agencies
Those selling projects and time who need to link tasks, hours and billing.
Firms and consultancies
Businesses working by engagement that want to know each client's profitability.
Internal project teams
Teams running internal initiatives that want shared planning and visibility.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about project management software
What's good project management software for an SME?
For service SMEs an integrated project system with timesheets and billing is best, so you go from plan to invoice and see profitability. Odoo covers tasks, timesheets, milestones and reports; Gitogi configures it around how you work by engagement.
Can I log hours and bill them?
Yes. The team logs hours on tasks and billable ones can become an invoice, linking the work done to revenue.
Can I see each project's profitability?
Yes. With analytic accounting, costs (hours, purchases) and revenue are allocated to the job, so reports show the real margin.
Is there a Gantt view and dependencies?
Yes. You can plan tasks in kanban or Gantt, with deadlines and dependencies; fine planning depends on how we configure the flow.
How much do Odoo's projects cost?
Prices and editions are on odoo.com. Gitogi does not resell licences: we handle project, timesheet and billing configuration, migration and training. For an estimate, get in touch.
Can I start with projects and add more?
Yes. You can activate projects and timesheets and add sales, billing or support when needed, on the same platform.
