Quanto Management features
Every module. One project record.
Contract, change, money, time, site and records, connected so every figure has its evidence behind it.
Contract and parties · 01/14
Parties and permissions
- The company that runs the project invites the owner, the consultant, subcontractors and viewers by link — invited parties join free.
- Access by party and level (view, edit, approve). Each party gets its own home page and "waiting on you" list.
- Contractor-only information — orders, costs, margins, cheques, suppliers — is never shown to the owner or consultant.
- Drafts stay with the company that wrote them until they are sent.
Contract and parties · 02/14

What Quanto does, module by module. Items marked Professional+ are in Professional and above; items marked Business+ are in Business and above.
Any form of contract. Every period counted.
Choose the form of contract when you set up the project. Quanto loads every period and time bar of that form and counts them on your project's calendar — calendar days, weeks, working days, or Werktage with public holidays — and shows what silence means: time-barred, deemed approved, deemed rejected or interest due. Where your Particular Conditions differ, change the period for that project.
Each period shows its clause and who must act by when — on the project's clocks page and on every variation and claim.
