SmartBond using the web-based Smart Project Management (SPM) system to help better connect it's project teams with it's clients. The PM was designed and created by SmartBond. It allows clients to view the latest status of projects, the number of hours incurred per project during any given period, approve or reject the hours, receive billing, and interact directly with all of the SmartBond team members working on the client projects. All of of this is done via a web browser interface (i.e. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera).

Being that the system is web-based, SmartBond clients and employees can be located anywhere in the world and still work on projects effectively together.

Some of the main features of the SPM for Clients include:

• Can register your company as a client.
• Client administrator can create their own users and assign these users to projects.
• Client administrator can propose new projects.
• Client can review and approval (or reject) estimates, quotes, and change orders.
• Contracts between client and SmartBond are stored online within the client's account in the SPM.
• Each project has a summary page, as well as detail sections for timesheets, documents, files, and code, forum discussions, action items (tasks/bugs/change requests), quotes, and contracts.
• Create quotes for clients which they can approve or reject on the system.
• Employees enter timesheets directly to the PM on a daily basis. Allows client to know the status of horus incurred on a project on a daily basis rather than at month's end.
• Client approves, rejects, or requests more information for timesheets for each person on the project before they are be billed.
• Client administrator has access to the history of all financial transactions for each project.
• Action Items (i.e. Tasks, Change Requests, Bugs, etc.) can be assigned to a person on the system, set a deadline to be completed, have a file attached to them to better explain them, have detailed notes entered, and persons responsible for the item can update the status when the status changes as well as add their comments to the item.
• With the document management section for a project, users can store files, code, images, documents and any other type of file for each project.
• The system automatically sends email messages to the appropriate users when a task is added, a forum item is posted, and other important changes related to a project which users should be aware of.
