4c Systems

4c Systems Ltd is an independent UK-owned company, formed in 2002 as the result of a management buy-out. We develop and deliver the 4c Project Portfolio, Resource and Project Management software application which includes 4c Timesheet for time and expense collection.

4c is used in a variety of industries including IT, financial services, engineering, and publishing. Our policy of continual improvement means that we regularly update it with new features, most of which are fully user-configurable.

Hundreds of switchable components and menu options allow you to choose just the facilities you need to support your organisation’s working methods and best practices.  These can include:

- project evaluation and prioritisation
- project estimating and costing
- planning and scheduling (gantt charts and network plots)
- project billing and/or invoicing
- time collection and expense recording via integrated timesheets
- support for flexitime schemes and shift working
- resource management
- risks/issues logging
- business process mapping
- document management
- sub-contracts and materials

Estimated and actual time, costs and charges collected at task level instantly roll up to the project and to the overall portfolio.  As resources are assigned to projects, the resource pool is automatically updated, providing a constantly up-to-date forecast of resource utilisation.

You can sub-divide the portfolio into programmes and sub-programmes as required, while “Virtual Programmes” allow you to analyse the portfolio by user-defined project categorisation fields.

Working in close partnership with current and potential customers, we deliver high quality, feature-rich planning and scheduling systems that help them manage their projects and resources effectively.
