OpenDine
A project-based ERP for management and consultancy firms.
OpenDine runs a consultancy on one system: projects, people, time, billing and clients. Partners see utilisation and margin by project; consultants log time in seconds; finance invoices from approved hours.

01 · The problem
Most consultancies run on spreadsheets, a separate timesheet tool and an accounting package that never agree with each other. Partners find out a project is over budget after the invoice goes out.
Hours are logged late and inaccurately
Budgets live in spreadsheets nobody updates
Invoices take days to assemble from different sources
02 · What OpenDine does
OpenDine connects the whole engagement lifecycle. Every project has a budget, a team and a plan; every hour logged against it updates margin and utilisation immediately, and approved time becomes an invoice in one step.
Project plans with Gantt timelines and milestones
Budget-versus-actual on every project, every day
Invoices generated from approved time and expenses
