work assignment information, actual and projected financials and labor hours worked.

customer details, quotes and invoices and any related documents and files. With TOBI you can
accurately assess labor costs, project performance and profitability all in one location, saving you
valuable time.

TOBI links project records with financial data, customers, human resources, calendar events and related
documents and reference files. This integrated structure is extremely useful when carrying out marketing
initiatives, customer support services and various other company projects. All information is available in
one place for easy access.
In TOBI, you can access project details via the project management interface, or from several other TOBI applications.
For example, when viewing a customer or employee record, you can click on a ‘Projects’ tab that quickly populates
a list of all projects and tasks associated with that record. This feature is meant to save you valuable time
when navigating the TOBI system; you are never more than a few clicks away from the information you need.
Break Down Projects into Tasks and Work Assignments
Each project in TOBI may be broken down into any number of tasks, subtasks and work assignments for
detailed management, resource allocation and tracking. This feature allows information at the lowest
levels to be rolled-up to higher levels, giving you a complete view of project and task progress and
performance. TOBI also helps you create and prioritize tasks and assignments based on weighted
importance for more efficient resource allocation.

assured that your labor expenses are being disbursed efficiently.
