Scoro review

Scoro takes a modular approach. Instead of fixed tiers, you combine eight apps: Do for tasks, Deliver for projects, Track for time and cost, Resource for bookings, Sell for clients and deals, Estimate for quotes and budgets, Spend for costs and Invoice for billing. Scoro suggests four starting combinations: Time-billing, Projects and Resources, Quote to Cash and End-to-end. For agencies the attraction is the quote to cash chain, where an estimate built with margin estimation becomes the project budget, tracked time feeds actuals and invoices draw on the same data, including recurring billing and invoice reminders. The Resource app adds a bookings planner, availability indicators and utilization reports. The End-to-end combination adds approval of financial documents, project budget health charts and revenue forecasting and recognition. The downsides are a 5-user minimum and a setup that takes longer than simpler tools, because each app has its own settings.
