Projects

Sicon Projects is designed for businesses requiring a real-time view of their project costs and profitability, all from within Sage 200. Whether working on small, medium or large projects, the versatility of this solution is ideal for all types of organisations.

This module is fully integrated with Sage 200 POP, SOP, Stock, Purchase, Sales and Nominal Ledgers for the purpose of recording costs and revenue against individual projects. Coupled with 100% project to Nominal reconciliation, users can be confident that projects balance with Nominal reports.

At its core, this module is predominantly focused around project costing, but does include some project management functionality. Coupled with seamless integration to other Sicon modules, this combination creates an ideal solution for a multitude of sectors, including manufacturing, construction, service and software development.

Key Features

Single Source | Negates the need to store and report on project costing data outside of Sage 200, resulting in a live, real-time view of the project as transactions are updated.
Easy to Use | Projects are quick and simple to setup, with just a few simple clicks required to create a project. Pre-defined project templates further simplify this.
Fully Integrated with Sage 200 | Sicon Projects is installed and maintained within Sage 200. This is advantageous as the modules look, feel and act as part of Sage 200, meaning users don’t have to learn a new system.

What’s Included?

Sicon Projects is available as a standalone module, but works seamlessly alongside many other Sicon solutions.

Projects for Construction

This provides users with a single view of the performance of their construction projects. Full Nominal to Project Reconciliation ensures all Sage 200 Sales, Purchase and Stock transactions are recorded against a Project. Labour is captured in Projects via timesheets entry or through the Sicon Approvals Platform, a web-based data entry solution, that is available as an additional purchase.

Projects for Manufacturing

Integrates perfectly into bespoke manufacturing environments to capture Stock, Purchase Orders, Timesheets and other costs to give budget versus actual comparison. Alternatively, when combined with Sicon Works Order Processing, this is an ideal solution for businesses wanting to manufacture and install for projects.

Projects for Contracts

An ideal option for businesses that need to be able to link a Sicon Contract to a project to capture invoice revenue alongside standard Projects functionality to record costs, therefore providing visibility of overall contract profitability.

Projects for Service

Provides the ability to track the profitability of contracts and service cases, providing greater visibility of costs and revenues associated with a customer/contract.

Projects for Hire

This combination will benefit businesses needing to be able to link a Hire Order to a project to capture invoice revenue alongside standard Projects functionality to record costs, providing visibility of overall contract profitability. This can also integrate with Sicon Fixed Assets to record depreciation postings.

Projects for Barcoding & Warehousing

Enables handheld users to issue and return stock to/from Sicon Projects from within the warehouse with those transactions being immediately reflected against the relevant project.
