The pain: projects outside the operating system

Milestones live in project tools, experiments in notebooks, time in timesheets and costs in finance. Nobody sees the full picture until a project review — and cost surprises appear at reconciliation.

How RZC solves it

R-ERP brings milestones, experiments and time tracking into one operating picture, with project costs connected to finance and procurement. R-DATA reports on progress and spend from the same live record.

Where to start

Start by tracking time and purchases against active projects, then add milestones and experiments.

Use cases

Time to project cost

Hours flow into project cost automatically.

  1. 1Time recorded
  2. 2Linked to project
