Business Beacon overview

What is Business Beacon?

Business Beacon is a cloud-based project management and planning app which enables teams to track, manage, and visualize projects using a range of functionalities including task, resource, timesheet, messaging, and document management, plus Gantt charts, team calendars, real-time reporting, and more. As a cloud-based solution, Business Beacon gives users the flexibility to manage projects and tasks anytime, anywhere, via any internet-enabled device.

Business Beacon provides a 360º view of entire business operations, giving users insight into project advancement, resources, workload, tasks, messages, documents, and more. By giving users centralized access to project information, Business Beacon serves to enhance user productivity, ensuring that teams know exactly who is doing what, and when. Business Beacon is designed to streamline business and project operations by assigning tasks clearly, and tracking project times and budgets. The central calendar view allows users to see task assignments at-a-glance, while access to timesheet data enables the measurement of task efforts and invoicing data.

Instant messaging tools allow users to discuss projects, and retrieve or share conversations, while document management features enable the management of all company documents from a single location. Users can retrieve documents by searching per project, creator, type or name. Forecasting technology helps users anticipate or predict project workload and availability, as well as identify any clashes. The project Gantt view provides users with a detailed view of specific projects, showing which tasks have been completed, and what work still needs to be done. Other Business Beacon features include an API, automatic notifications, a client portal, collaborative workspace, progress reports, user access controls, and more.
