Every project. One connected path to delivery.

Your teams should not have to manage plans, tasks, resources, working time, budgets, costs, documents and milestones across separate systems. SIX ProjectFlow connects every stage in one organized project record, giving project managers, employees and leadership a current view of responsibilities, progress, deadlines and profitability.

Deliver every project with clarity and control

From initial planning to final completion, every team works with the same current information. Define tasks, assign responsibilities, schedule milestones, record working time and keep project documents, budgets and costs connected in one structured process.

SIX ProjectFlow helps managers monitor progress, identify delays, balance team workloads and compare planned effort with actual results. This creates clearer accountability, more reliable delivery and better control over project costs and profitability.

One reliable project and execution record

Keep project requirements, tasks, milestones, documents, working time, budgets and costs together. Give authorized employees and managers a complete and traceable view of every project from initial planning to final completion.

Clear responsibilities and coordinated work

Assign tasks, owners, priorities and deadlines in one structured plan. Give every team member a clear view of what must be completed, who is responsible and which activities require attention.

Time, budgets and costs under control

Connect planned effort with timesheets, expenses and actual project costs. Monitor how resources are being used, identify budget deviations early and understand the financial position of each project.

Progress and profitability made visible

Compare planned milestones with actual delivery and detect delays before they affect the final result. Give management reliable information to improve decisions, protect profitability and keep projects moving forward.

From project idea to profitable delivery

Connect every stage of the project lifecycle, from scope definition and planning to task execution, time recording, cost control and final completion. SIX ProjectFlow keeps project managers, employees, finance teams and leadership working from the same reliable project information.

Manage the complete project lifecycle with SIX ProjectFlow

SIX ProjectFlow keeps every project stage connected. Define scope, milestones and budgets, assign tasks and resources, record working time and expenses, manage documents and monitor delivery. Compare planned values with actual results to identify delays, control costs and protect profitability without losing context or entering the same information repeatedly.

One project lifecycle. Three connected stages.

From the first project requirement to final delivery and financial review, SIX ProjectFlow keeps plans, tasks, people, working time, documents, budgets and costs connected. Explore the three stages that help your organization structure work, coordinate execution and deliver profitable projects with confidence.

Define Scope and Deliverables

Record the project purpose, customer or internal requirements, expected results and completion criteria. Give managers and teams a shared understanding of what must be delivered before work begins.

Build the Schedule and Milestones

Divide the project into phases, tasks and measurable milestones. Set planned start and completion dates, define task dependencies and create a realistic path from project approval to final delivery.

Assign Teams and Responsibilities

Select the employees, departments or external partners required for the project. Assign clear task owners and responsibilities while considering employee availability, skills and expected workload.

Establish Budgets and Cost Targets

Define planned working hours, labor costs, materials, purchases, expenses and other project costs. Create a financial baseline that can later be compared with actual project results.

Turn Project Plans Into Action

Assign tasks, priorities and deadlines to the responsible employees. Give every team member a clear view of current work, upcoming activities and the actions required to keep the project moving.

Record Time and Progress

Capture working time, task completion and project progress as work happens. Connect timesheets with the correct project and activity so managers can compare planned effort with actual performance.

Keep Information and Documents Together

Store project documents, specifications, agreements, notes and related records in one organized project workspace. Help authorized employees find current information without searching through separate systems or email chains.

Coordinate Changes and Dependencies

Record revised deadlines, changed requirements, blocked tasks and new responsibilities. Show how one delay or decision affects later activities so managers can respond before the complete schedule is disrupted.

Monitor Performance and Variance

Compare planned milestones, hours and costs with actual results. Identify late tasks, excessive effort and budget deviations early enough for managers to take corrective action.

Control Costs and Profitability

Bring together labor, purchasing, expenses and other project-related costs. Give management a reliable view of the project’s financial position and whether expected profitability is being protected.

Connect Delivery With Billing

Confirm completed milestones, approved time and delivered work before financial processing begins. Connect verified project results with invoicing and finance to support accurate billing and reduce manual data entry.

Close With a Complete Project History

Confirm final delivery, complete outstanding tasks and preserve documents, decisions, time records and financial results. Maintain a traceable project history for reporting, customer service, audits and future planning.
