What is new about project management with time reporting in fibu3?
fibu3 connects project management, time reporting, employees, invoicing and payroll functions in the same workspace. This brings project-related and administrative processes closer together instead of scattering them across separate tools.
The main improvement is the shared context: projects, recorded hours, assigned employees and payroll organisation remain visible in the same client environment and the same application.
What does the connected workflow look like?
Businesses can create projects, assign employees, record hours with date, description and quantity, and build a clearer view of ongoing work.
Billable time entries can also serve as the basis for project invoices. In parallel, employees and payroll functions remain organised in the same application.
- create a project with code, name and hourly rate
- assign employees within the project context
- report hours with work date and description
- bundle billable entries for invoicing
- keep employees and payroll organisation in the same system
What is the practical benefit of the payroll context connection?
Businesses no longer see project hours and participating employees in isolation from the rest of the organisation. That improves internal coordination, transparency and preparation around payroll periods.
The distinction matters: this does not automatically convert project hours into a payroll run. The integration mainly means that employees, time entries and payroll functions are managed within one shared application.
More visibility
Project work, employees and follow-up admin processes stay closer together.
Fewer tool breaks
Time reporting, invoices and payroll organisation do not need to be split across several isolated tools.
Better preparation
Teams can align hours, services and involved employees more cleanly at an earlier stage.
Who is this setup especially useful for?
The combination is especially useful for SMEs with project-based work and employees whose hours matter internally, externally or both.
Typical examples include agencies, service businesses, trades businesses, IT teams, consultancies and other companies that plan work, record time, invoice services and also want organised payroll processes.
| Situation | Why it fits |
|---|---|
| Agency or service provider | Project hours, employees and billing stay more tightly connected. |
| Business with internal projects | Work performed and responsibilities become easier to track. |
| SME with payroll and project work | Time and payroll context remain in the same workspace. |
What should businesses keep in mind?
As with other payroll and accounting workflows, the practical value depends on clean master data, clear responsibilities and suitable permissions. The accessible scope can also vary by plan and configuration.
The software supports a connected workflow, but it does not replace specialist review in edge cases. For payroll questions, legal duties and company-specific rules, responsibility remains with the business and its professionals.
