Keep in line with the budget

Gain full visibility and control over your budget with robust tools to monitor project costs, while efficiently collecting reporting data. Quickly identify irregular expenditures and budget overspends before the financial report is due and raises questions or even delays in payment.

  • Analyse finances in any dimension with customisable reports
  • Steer the reporting process with reminders and approvals
  • Trace user actions with detailed change logs

Stay on schedule and avoid deviations

Ensuring deadlines are met is crucial. Swiftly grasp project timelines, progress, and responsibilities to determine if your project is on track, and what activities require extra attention.

  • Outline the full work plan, including milestones, deliverables and dependencies
  • Customise views with progress and financial metrics
  • Ensure unified understanding throughout the consortium
  • Toggle between Data Table, Gantt, or Kanban views

One platform: A single source of information for all project participants

EC-compliant cost reporting by partners

Collecting and consolidating expenses and adjustments can become an endless email cycle. Minimise your administrative burden and provide your partners with a single interface to track, update and manage their expenses and efforts, ensuring that all data is compliant, accurate, and consistent. All data can be easily extracted so it can be uploaded to the EC portal.

Integrated time tracking

Effortlessly allow your partner's team members to track project hours with EMDESK's integrated Time Tracking feature, allowing logging of hours on work packages and tasks, with flexible views from weekly to annual views. The feature simplifies recording absences, streamlines timesheet approvals, and enables the seamless conversion of time records into expenses, ensuring accurate and efficient project accounting.

Stay on the safe side for reporting and regulations

Create the Periodic Technical Report Part B according to the EC Guidelines, pre-filled with the latest financial data and progress and from your project. Collaborate on technical descriptions and create a Word document in a single click to be uploaded to the EC portal.

Submit deliverables on time

The timely submission of deliverables is the key indicator that your project is on track. Map your workflow, define responsibilities, get reminders and clear overviews of deadlines, and see statuses and assignments to ensure that all activities leading up to the deliverables are on track.

Chief Administrative Officer, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

We selected EMDESK to plan our project proposal after facing problems with other tools. We switched to EMDESK less than 3 months before submission and were very happy that the collaboration went so smoothly. EMDESK met our individual requirements quickly and professionally. With budget and administrative data to be consolidated for more than 80 partners, this was quite an achievement. I believe that such a big project could not have been prepared without its help. Today we use EMDESK as our project management tool.
