Why remote Salesforce users love PSOhub's PSA Software

Updated on June 12, 2024.

Working remotely?

Are you already using Salesforce and trying to figure out which project management software is the best choice for your service business?

Salesforce pretty much dominates the CRM market, leveraged by all sorts of industries like software and marketing, and everything in between. Like many of us today, Salesforce users are working remotely, sometimes across the world.

While Salesforce is invaluable to gaining sales, it stops short by way of the project.

With the exception of Salesforce Tasks, which will help you facilitate task management around your projects, Salesforce itself doesn’t have the built-in features you need for connected project planning, contracts, billing, etc.

That’s where PSOhub’s Salesforce-integrated project management comes in. And it’s making remote Salesforce users’ lives even easier.

Check out the 7 reasons why Salesforce PSA by PSOhub is a huge win for people all over the world now working remotely.

1) Robust Salesforce integration

PSOhub features a robust Salesforce integration, so all that important data that’s living in your CRM automatically migrates to the platform. 

A two-way project management integration with Salesforce has quite a few advantages versus a non-integrated solution, including:

• Less onboarding time: Without having to initiate a data migration, you’ll spend less time onboarding your project management solution, as is the case with PSOhub.
• Seamless sales-to-project handoff: Make things a breeze for both your sales and project teams. PSOhub’s Salesforce integration means that everyone on the project side knows what’s up in sales and vice versa, so you can get to work and get billable sooner. 
• Data integrity: All information related to your customers and your projects now lives under one digital roof, reducing errors and keeping your precious data secure within a closed-loop system.

2) Self-driving time tracking

For managers/owners and consultants alike, self-driving time tracking is one of the top reasons PSOhub for Salesforce rocks. The first of its kind, self-driving time tracking is exactly what it sounds like AI tracks your time for you.

Time tracking errors are an insanely common problem, more or less across all industries. Most of these errors arrive because of manual entry, lack of a uniform system, and people simply forgetting to or guesstimating at tracking their billable hours. 

Self-driving time tracking can eliminate a lot– if not most– of those errors by automating the entire process. 

When you’re new to remote working (and I speak from experience), you’re likely to screw up your time tracking, especially if you’ve never had to track time before. That’s why self-driving time tracking is a win. 

It’s a win for consultants like me, who can become more billable by integrating their Google calendar with PSOhub and not thinking twice about it. You can level up even more by using the GPS time tracker to account for billable hours for onsite work.

Finally, self-driving time tracking is a win for managers and owners too, who can foster productivity and get a more solid handle on whose time is going where.

3) Powerful analytics and dashboards

Speaking of getting a handle on things, accurate and comprehensive analytics are part of what makes remote project management possible.

If you can’t see what’s happening with cold, hard numbers, how can you make important decisions?

Since team members and customers are scattered across the world, it’s now more important than ever to have really solid analytics that can connect what you’re seeing in Salesforce to the numbers surrounding your projects.

It’s also equally important that you can actually understand those numbers.

PSOhub’s PSA Salesforce tool offers powerful analytics and easy-to-use, customizable dashboards that help you get a handle on where your money and time is going. All in a quickly digestible visual.

This way, you can easily see and understand your budgets vs actuals in real time, at all stages of your project cycle, including beforehand in Salesforce. Cool stuff.

4) Leave invoicing to PSOhub and never manually create an invoice again.

Hallelujah! The bane for many creatives and remote consultants is invoicing. Using Excel spreadsheets is not only time-consuming, it’s bound to create inaccuracies. 

On top of that, it comes off as unprofessional, something a colleague (who shall remain nameless) once told me. This is especially true if you are managing an invoicing schedule yourself and don’t keep up with the billing cycle.

Invoicing is better left to the pros. PSOhub can handle all your Salesforce invoicing needs and everything on the project side too. Recurring payments, milestone payments, the gang’s all here! 

Plus, you can customize your invoices any way you want. And if you go further, you can enable smart invoicing, so that you’ll never have to deal with an invoice again if you don’t want to.

Like time tracking, invoice errors are inevitably going to pop up with manual entry, especially for new remote workers. If you’re using Salesforce and working remotely, do yourself a favor– Stop creating and sending invoices yourself!

5) Predictive analysis

Projects can go off the rail for a number of reasons that we won’t get into. While there aren’t currently any numbers on how many more or fewer projects have gone off-rail after COVID-19, I’d be willing to bet it was more… at the beginning. 

For industries new to remote work, there obviously had to be a learning curve when it came to managing projects completely online.

But now, PSOhub can help remote Salesforce users stay more in control of their budgets and contracts with next-generation predictive analysis. 

Predictive analysis is the use of data, algorithms, and machine learning (aka AI) to predict future outcomes based on what’s happened in the past.

For example, PSOhub will alert you in time to make the right adjustments and save your project from going over budget, based on the data. So, instead of factoring in everyone’s time, losing sleep over your budget, etc, you can rest easy knowing your wallet and your customers aren’t in danger of getting disappointed.

6) PSA means saying goodbye to Asana (and the like).

Asana is great, and I myself still use it with a couple of clients. That said, if you are in the driver’s seat to purchase a project management platform for Salesforce, you can choose a PSA tool like PSOhub and say goodbye to Asana and other software you think you need. 

The thing is, Asana, Trello, etc provide a lot by way of task management. You can definitely get a lot done using these types of solutions to manage your projects when it comes to moving work forward.

But PSA software is different. Kind of like project management software on steroids.

That’s because PSA tools like PSOhub provide all-in-one functionality to cover all the bases of your project needs. PLUS their automation game is stronger. PLUS they’re specifically designed for professional services.

All the task management functionality you need is built in to the environment, meaning you’ll waste less time bouncing back and forth between platforms. 

Kanban boards and all the things you’re used to in Asana are at your fingertips in the same place that your other project components live. Save time, yes, but also money from ditching those Asana licenses you don’t need anymore.

7) Save $$! Invest in yourself!

And finally, one of the best benefits of PSOhub for remote Salesforce users is the money it saves! Because PSOhub was designed as an all-in-one project management solution, you’ll be able to keep more money in your pocket.

Specifically, here are the ways that PSOhub’s PSA software saves Salesforce users money:

• You can ditch other costly solutions like Asana and consolidate your tech stack.
• You’ll spend less time bouncing between platforms and more time earning.
• You’ll reduce multitasking with an easy-to-use environment, where all your Salesforce and project data live harmoniously together.
• Spend less time with admin work by leveraging automation and self-driving features.
• Get more billable with less time tracking and invoice errors.

Why not pocket some of that saved cash for a travel experience? After all, that’s one of the best things about being able to work remotely. If travel isn't possible for you right now, do something else rewarding with the money that PSOhub saves you.
