A classic invoice overview reliably answers the question "Who paid how much?" – but not necessarily the question "Which project and which employee generated how much revenue?". For project-based businesses, it is often this second perspective that matters most. 1Tool offers a separate revenue area for this purpose, which links revenue to the relevant project and the responsible employee – independently of the general invoice view.
Why the invoice view alone is often not enough
Invoices are customer-centred by nature: they show what a customer has been billed. For businesses that work in projects – such as agencies, consultancies or service providers with several orders running in parallel – this view alone is often insufficient. What really matters here is how revenue is distributed across individual projects and which employee was responsible for which share of the revenue generated. Extracting this information from a plain list of invoices takes extra effort.
A dedicated view of revenue
The revenue area in 1Tool is deliberately kept separate from the classic invoice view. Here, revenue is linked directly to the associated project and the responsible employee. The list can be searched by project or by employee, so you can find out exactly which revenue belongs to a particular project or what contribution a particular employee has made to total revenue.
Who benefits from this separation
This analysis is particularly valuable for businesses that want to assess profitability at project level – for example to see which projects actually deliver the expected revenue, or to understand the individual performance of employees in the context of the projects they look after. Because this view stays separate from the general invoice overview, project-related analyses do not get mixed up with customer-related billing – both views can be used independently of each other, depending on which question is in focus at the moment.
Frequently asked questions
How does the revenue area differ from the normal invoice overview?
The revenue area specifically links revenue to the project and the responsible employee and exists independently of the classic, customer-centred invoice view.
Can I search for a specific project?
Yes, the list can be searched both by project and by employee.
Is this view also suitable for businesses without a classic project structure?
The greatest benefit is for project-based businesses that want to understand which project and which employee contributed to revenue.
Would you like to clearly allocate revenue by project and employee from now on?
