What is Avaza?

Avaza is a software suite targeted for all business sizes. It includes modules for project management and collaboration, resource scheduling, team chat, time tracking, expense management, quoting and invoicing. Depending on their business needs, companies can use as many, or as few, of the modules as they need.

Avaza offers reporting functionality, and the project management module is designed with both list view and Kanban style task management, so users can choose how to view their projects and tasks. Avaza can be used in the cloud, and accessed from any device whether it’s a desktop, tablet or mobile.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Avaza for project management, estimates, and invoicing. For projects, we use it for both retainer clients and one off work orders. Our clients can approve estimates easily online. The recurring invoice feature is essential for the retainer side of our business. We invoice everything through Avaza and collect payment through Avaza. Then, everything syncs with Quickbooks.

Pros

  • Project Management
  • Estimates
  • Invoicing
  • Reports

Cons

  • Employee Time Tracking

Return on Investment

  • Eliminated using multiple different software to accomplish the same tasks

Alternatives Considered

Asana, Sage Timeslips and Basecamp

Other Software Used

QuickBooks Online, Microsoft 365

Managing Partner in Marketing at MAVENTRI (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Project Management - Creating projects and tasks is really easy
  • Timesheets - Logging time is super quick and simple.

Cons

  • Recurring Projects - Right now you can create recurring tasks with a project, but if you have a project that recurs monthly with a client, as we do, you have to manually create it. Ideally, we want to be able to have this happen automatically.
  • Xero Integration - If you create an invoice based on hours, you aren't able to adjust the inventory type. Also, for the integration, you are not able to have endless inventory types mapped to GL accounts in Xero. You can only have one catch-all if you are creating invoices from timesheets.
  • Stripe/ACH Integration - Since it already integrates with Stripe to accept payments, it would be great if the user can choose ACH through Stripe instead of just Credit Card. The functionality already exists on the Stripe end, but it has not been integrated with Avaza, yet! Recurring payment options would be great as well.
  • Estimates - It would be awesome if invoices worked more like Quotes or Proposals where the client can choose an option, accept and provide a signature.

Return on Investment

  • It has streamlined a lot of our work.
  • It keeps us, as admins, in the know with all the projects for our team.

Pros

  • It switches between Kanban view, List view, and Gantt charts which fits varying preferences!
  • It helps us work smart by creating dependencies and linking tasks to calendars
  • It has a clean, intuitive dashboard that's very easy to navigate

Cons

  • I wish sub-tasks could also have due dates
  • For really big projects, we hope there could be phases (aside from sections)
  • In the chatbox, it would be great if photo attachments could be displayed as screenshots (instead of downloading the file)

Most Important Features

  • Task tracking
  • Gantt charts
  • Team schedule
  • Overall Project Schedule

Return on Investment

  • It saves us dozens of hours tracking and backtracking tasks for multiple projects
  • We now skip frequent Management meetings and just review Avaza's dashboard
  • Avaza helped us a lot in organizing our tasks and projects
