“Argos has transformed the way we approach project expenses.
Implementing Argos, we’ve gained clarity into how, who and
when we incur expenses; we’ve raised awareness and visibility
among users, reduced waste and—most significantly—we’ve
improved the bottom line and gained a competitive advantage.”
Kelly Uehling Director of Technology, BNIM Architects
Automation for Deltek Vision
Project synchronization
Argos automatically pulls your projects, phases, tasks, project managers and locations directly from Deltek Vision on your schedule.
Data round-trip
Argos automatically sends expense data back into Deltek Vision, so there’s no more inaccurate, tedious ten-key data entry.
A better way to bill for expenses.
Is the word love a little too strong to describe how your employees will feel about billing their expenses with Argos? The Argos Desktop Client refines the way you bill expenses by removing obstacles, enforcing gently but firmly, and asking questions in a sensible way, so that everyone stays productive and happy. The way we see it, happy employees means less resistance, fewer problems, more accurate data, and more reimbursable revenue. And isn’t that the whole point?
Accounting mind-meld, built in.
Argos works with your accounting system to minimize data entry and ensure accuracy. Plug in the basic information
about your accounting software, then set up a schedule. Argos keeps everything synchronized; new projects are added, and old projects are removed, so your employees always bill their printing and copying to real live projects. Argos
works with Deltek Vision®, Advantage™, Sema4®, FMS™, Axium Ajera, or any ODBC-compliant database.
GETTING REIMBURSED JUST GOT EASIER.Does your firm consider printing and copying overhead? Do you try to bill your clients for reproductions, but rely on the clipboard honor system to track? Or maybe you use software to track those expenses, but the software’s hard to use, or rude to your employees. Compatible with CAD, BIM, and accounting, Argos is friendly, easy cost recovery software that understands design professionals.
Friction-Free Workflow
Unlike most tracking systems that hold you up at your copier or multi-function peripheral (MFP) with a litany of questions and prompts, Argos reduces things to one step: logging in. Argos moves the accounting process away from the device and onto your workstation where the Argos Desktop Client delivers an easy-to-use, feature-rich billing experience. You get happier employees, accurate information, and more money — and you’ll only find it with Argos.
Log in and get to work here... ...then return here to bill your work to a project
CAD and BIM spoken here.
Software like AutoCAD®, MicroStation®, and Autodesk® Revit® use special print drivers that confound other print tracking software. But not Argos. Argos is application- and version-neutral, so it’s ready to track the software you use — today and next year. And because Argos doesn’t interfere with your natural print process, it works great with batch printing, plot scripts — it even tracks DOS printing. So regardless of your CAD workflow, Argos is ready.
Your expenses, reported beautifully.
When it’s time to get paid, Argos helps you present your expenses with clarity. First, plug in the numbers — how much you pay and how much you want to charge. You can even set up different cost structures for different clients. Then, built-in Argos reports break down expenses by project, by device, by user, or by office, with as much or as little detail as you want. Argos ships with over twenty basic reports, and more are available. And because it’s built on Crystal Reports, the customization options are endless.
