Support for World Currencies
A must for global account management; supports unlimited number of multiple currencies; includes an automatic currency rate management system with a base currency reporting. For example, it can handle multicurrency pricelists and invoices, whether in Euro, British pound, Swedish Kroners, et. al.
Custom Timeline Snapshot:
Graphic display (similar to Gantt chart) of customized timeline reports detailing project work, tasks, revenue, billable hours, etc. Highly useful in viewing a snapshot of a project or case. A popular request from users and a differentiator that separates Severa from competitive products.
“These improvements in file handling, collaboration and calendaring are a direct result of listening foremost to what customers want in a project management/PSA system,†said Ville Kuusela, Severa Chief Operating Officer. “We view these upgrades as an organic, ongoing evolution of improvement; the end goal being to create the best PSA system on the Internet. Feature-rich, yes, but not at the expense of usability and simplicity. Our hope is that this showcases how Severa is on track to becoming the most trusted name in professional services automation."
