3 Enable secure, role-based delivery of interactive dashboards and automated reporting to project managers, finance, and executive teams.

2 Project milestone reached or project phase transition occurs in project management platform.

3 Manual or scheduled sync (e.g., nightly batch, weekly review) from accounting system.
