Unanet Project Billing provides Invoicing and Revenue Recognition functionality with robust support for Fixed Price, Time & Materials and Cost Plus contracts. Through automating the professional services “bid-to-bill” lifecycle, Unanet allows organizations to forecast and track revenue across different contract types, shorten invoice cycles, and provide authorized managers with real-time insight. By providing a single integrated system to manage the entire services bid-to-bill cycle, disparate standalone systems can be replaced, resulting in greater productivity, fewer errors, and lower costs.
