PMC™ – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Scriptoria’s Project Management Centre (PMC™) is a modular programme and project management software designed specifically for international development and research programmes. It helps organisations manage complex, multi-stakeholder, donor-funded programmes more efficiently by reducing duplicated effort (e.g. everyone can see what jobs others are working on), streamlining reporting, and improving coordination across programme teams, regions, and partners.

Scriptoria’s PMC™ is designed for international development programmes funded by donors, particularly foundations and public donors, and managed by development consulting firms, research organisations, or consortia.

It is especially suited to programmes that operate across multiple regions, involve many partners, and require strong collaboration and donor reporting.

It allows team members to work more efficiently, cuts duplicated effort, shortens reporting time, simplifies coordination across partners, and streamlines routine processes.

Centralising programme delivery typically requires large, complex, expensive, and business-focused ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, which are often inaccessible to smaller programmes. As a result, most programmes rely on a fragmented mix of disconnected tools. Scriptoria’s PMC™ delivers the core capabilities of an ERP in a single, integrated platform, at a significantly lower cost, enabling programmes to manage operations, reporting, and delivery more effectively.

The Scriptoria’s PMC™ has optional tools to help programmes manage contracts, availability, resource allocation, due diligence, and timesheets for both core staff and associate consultants. By streamlining routine administrative tasks such as time and resource allocation, Scriptoria’s PMC™ reduces workload for programme managers and allows them to focus on delivery.

Scriptoria’s PMC™ includes monitoring, evaluation, and donor reporting modules that track delivery against frameworks such as Logical Frameworks. Interactive dashboards allow teams and donors to interact directly with programme data, reducing reliance on lengthy text-based reports and significantly cutting staff time spent on reporting.

Scriptoria’s PMC™’s deliverable tracking modules help teams ensure programme outputs are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required standard. The system tracks who is responsible for each deliverable, links work streams to donor outcomes, and provides micro-reporting tools for fast workflow updates.
