What is AdComPro?

AdComPro is a SaaS platform for project management, time registration, budget monitoring, CRM and billing. It is developed by Altena and runs live on adcompro. appEverything about a project is in one environment: the planning, the hours that go in, the budget that hangs on it, the customer and the invoice that eventually rolls out.

Sounds simple. It’s usually not. Most agencies have the planning in tool A, the hours in tool B, the customer data in a spreadsheet and the invoices in an accounting package that doesn’t know anything from either of those three. Every month the same ritual: overtype, check, forget something. AdComPro removes that ritual by tying the four pieces together.

You register an hour on a task. That task belongs to a project, that project has a budget and a customer, and at the end of the month the invoice is already there, made up of exactly those hours. No exports, no double input.

For whom?

Built for agencies and consultants.

Do you work project-wise and bill on the basis of hours?

Agencies

Marketing, design and development agencies that run multiple customer projects at the same time and want to know which project will generate money and which project costs money.

02

Consultants

Advisors and interim professionals who have to keep their hours declarable and do not want to lose an evening to billing every month.

03

Project organisations

Why we built this ourselves.

AdComPro wasn’t created by a market investigation. It was created by annoyance. If you run projects, you know the gap between “we’re busy” and “we’ve earned something from it,” and that gap is almost always in the administration in between.

We’re building Altena SaaS products as well as Custom software for clientsAdComPro is one of the first: a complete platform with user management, subscriptions, dashboards, links and security that we develop on a daily basis. Exactly the same parts come back when we build a platform for a customer. So this product is also proof that we can.

The stack is the same as our other work: PHP and Laravel at the back, PostgreSQL as a database, hosted with automatic backups and monitoring. Read more about this on our approach.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to frequently asked questions.

Who made AdComPro? AdComPro is developed and maintained by Altena, a Dutch software company owned by Marcel Altena.
Can I try it first? Yes. There is a free trial period of a month, so you can test with real projects instead of a demo environment. Then you choose whether to continue.
Does it work with my calendar? AdComPro synchronizes with your Microsoft 365 calendar so that appointments and scheduled hours come together in one place.
Can I manage multiple companies in one account? Yes. Multi-company is standard in the platform. You can also share projects between companies, convenient if you work with partners or sister companies on the same route.
How much is AdComPro? There is a subscription per user per month, with discount on annual payment and with larger teams. The current rates are always on adcompro. app, that’s the source of truth.
Can it be adapted to our way of working? Partly via settings, templates and the service catalogue. If you run into something that really needs to look different, that is a custom question, and that is exactly what we are doing next. Send us a message.
In practice

How to evaluate AdComPro.

AdComPro dashboard with hours, projects and declarability
The dashboard from the public AdComPro product documentation. Click on the image to see a larger view.

Follow a time entry from recording to invoicing.

The problem: project planning, time registration and invoicing are often separate from each other. AdComPro includes an hour’s work, a project and a customer. This forms the basis for the project overview and invoicing.

Review in a trial period whether this method is compatible with your administration. Use one representative project and check the registration, budget and final invoice.
