Meeting the Needs of Versatile Teams

At Feng Office, we understand that businesses need tools that balance efficiency and adaptability. Version 3.11.3 reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering features that meet the challenges of managing diverse workflows, optimizing billing, and enhancing collaboration. In this release, we’re introducing new billing flexibility, integration improvements, and updates to permissions, usability, and performance. Let’s explore how these changes can help you better manage your projects.  

New: Mixed Engagement Models for Billing Flexibility

Different projects demand unique billing approaches, and our new Mixed Engagement Model lets you combine Fixed Fee and Time & Materials billing within a single project. This means:  

• Fixed costs for predictable phases.  
• Time-based billing for dynamic, evolving tasks.  

This flexibility ensures billing aligns with project realities, simplifies invoicing, and improves transparency with clients. Finance teams and project managers alike will appreciate the clarity and adaptability this feature brings.  

New: Integration with SAGE 50 for Streamlined Financial Tracking

Managing financial workflows across platforms can be time-consuming. Feng Office now supports integration with SAGE 50, allowing you to:  

• Import invoices directly into SAGE without manual input.  
• Automate key financial processes to reduce errors.  

This release marked the first phase of our SAGE integration, with plans to include expenses, payments, and more, making it easier to manage your finances in one place. 

Email Logs: Greater Oversight for Communication

Email remains central to project collaboration, and Feng Office’s enhanced email logging now provides a detailed record of automated classifications. By tracking these actions, you can:  

• Maintain clear communication records.
• Ensure transparency in automated workflows.

This update supports teams in keeping critical exchanges visible and well-documented.  

Additional Improvements: Enhanced Permissions and Usability

Version 3.11.3 introduced several key updates to make your Feng Office experience even better:  

• Task Reopen Permissions: Control who can reopen closed tasks, safeguarding completed work.
• Alphabetical Template Listing: Quickly find templates with an intuitive alphabetical order.

Performance and Security Enhancements

We’ve refined system performance and privacy features for a smoother, safer experience:  

• Background Financial Recalculations: Changes to task details no longer disrupt your workflow.
• Extended Permissions for Financial Data: Billing and cost data are now securely restricted based on user roles.

Improved Reports and Exports

Enhanced Project Quote reports and Excel exports make it easier to analyze and share financial and project data. These updates enable deeper insights and better decision-making for your team.
