What is PerMaT-RP
A platform to manage staff time allocation in research projects
PerMaT-RP is a web platform for performance management in projects. It lets you control the hours worked on a project and generate the staff time compliance justifications required by the funding body.
What needs it covers
It is designed for environments where the same person takes part in several projects at once, with different time allocations, execution periods, professional activities and absences.
Control
Check that time allocations are compatible with the working day, other activities and absences.
Justify
Obtain the timesheets and staff costs needed to justify performance to the funding body.
Adapt to changes
Re-plan automatically when a person's activities or the manager's conditions change.
How it helps manage projects
The manager sets each researcher's total working hours and the distribution conditions. PerMaT-RP plans by distributing the hours compatibly with each person's activities, and re-plans if the researcher changes their agenda or the manager changes the conditions.
It then provides the monthly timesheets and staff costs for performance justification, and offers a data analysis module to monitor all of the organisation's projects.
What is PerMaT
What sets it apart from other tools
PerMaT-RP is not a task manager or a generic time-recording tool: its value lies in the integrated management of project time allocation and working time.
Automatic, compatible planning
Distributes hours taking into account each person's other projects, other productive activities, absences and public holidays.
Re-planning when things change
If an agenda change affects the plan, it adjusts the work package hours while keeping the manager's conditions.
Justification according to the funding programme
Timesheets in Horizon Europe format or a generic, configurable format, and projects from programmes of any funding body.
Longitudinal management
Compatible with the different values and validity periods of effective hourly costs, the allocation and working day of the same person, and the work calendars of each workplace.
Data analysis included
A business intelligence module (OLAP cube) to analyse performance and the management carried out, and to improve processes.
Cloud service
Available 24/7/365 with just an Internet connection, pay-per-use and minimal staffing needs for the organisation.
