It all started with a cup of coffee...

First discuss about this tool with your project beneficiaries. The tool is most efficient if all project partners are using it. If you want to purchase the tool, follow these steps.
First, all project beneficiaries have to watch the video presentation of the tool. If you have any additional questions about the tool, contact us. We can schedule an on-line individual meeting.
If interested, request for a free-of-charge access to the tool. You will be limited to two weeks to try it. Send us your LIFE code and e-mails for access activation (per beneficiary). If you have any additional questions, we will offer you on-line individual support during the testing period.
Then, project beneficiaries have to discuss and decide who will use this tool. It is most efficient if all project partners are using it (see pricing RECOMMENDED). However, an alternative is also useful. In this case, the tool still has full functionalities, but it does not provide a direct insight over associated beneficiaries that have not joined. The coordinating beneficiary has to insert financial data of associated beneficiaries that are not linked into the system (see pricing ALTERNATIVE).
Nevertheless, this tool can be used individually. This is possible for associated beneficiary, when the coordinating beneficiary does not want to use the tool. In that case, a tool for associated beneficiary still has full management functionalities. It works fully for internal control, but since there is no link to a coordinating beneficiary, on-line insight into project progress, communication between CB and ABs and on-line documentation exchange is not possible (see pricing INDIVIDUAL).
If you decide to purchase the tool, we will first send you an offer and, if approved, we will issue an invoice to all beneficiaries. An invoice with the required LIFE statement will be sent to you by e-mail.
After the payment is received, your access will be re-activated.
License price for the first year also covers an individual on-line guiding and functionalities presentation. The on-line tutorial (once the tool is purchased) is limited to two hours per LIFE project.
A scheduler for project partners and Kanban board for all employees
By using the scheduler, all beneficiaries will be directly informed about joint meetings, events, workshops etc.
A Kanban board will offer amazing support to project task management. It provides control at two levels. At the first level, a user of the tool will be able to delegate and in a later stage to control the progress of the tasks to internal employees, and at the second level, to associated project beneficiaries.
MGM4LIFE tool will be regularly updated according to LIFE regulations and reporting demands. We also encourage you to write to us about possible modification suggestions.
Community is strength. Therefore, we will establish a LIFE project community until the end of 2021. We will be able to share our knowledge and achievements, as well as promote our networking or dissemination activities.
If you are interested in this LIFE tool and have any other questions contact us by sending an e-mail.
