Freelancer/Outsourced work management script - PHP

Moderators please feel free to move if this does not belong here (yes I did try searching).

Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of or seen a script that can accurately keep track of information regarding outsourced or freelance work?

The idea is this, I find a project for a group of people to do on say... Craigslist. I then run over to a site like getafreelancer and hire some people to take on the task. Payment is made to the freelancer via paypal and I collect payment on the other end from the person who hired me.

The script would allow the freelancer that I hire to login and check the status of the project/update status, while allowing me to login and view status of each individual freelancer's status and also what is due to who?

Is there a system or script out there that can easily handle this task and is written in PHP?

Thanks!

Thanks Qsol but I'm actually going to go with another system: http://products.wrconsulting.com/wrtimetracker/en/index.php

 

You might want to consider basecamphq

 

WOW, this definitely looks ALOT better. Almost took the cake until I found out about activeCollab!

ding ding ding WE have a winner folks!!

 

ya basecamphq looks lot more better then quadrasolutions.com/demo/scripts/projectmanager

 

I use basecamp for my project management. It's very mature, very solid and feature rich.

If you're serious about being organized, I would consider it carefully.

 

I use a highly customized activecollab on my own private server, it's much more secure than basecamphq and lets me sleep easily at night.

 

I have to agree. The fact that it's open source does make it that much more appealing but for something like this I wouldn't have minded paying for it.

 

You don't even have the password to Quadra Solutions Project Manager so how could you even guess which one is better??

LOL

 

I use Basecamp HQ as well for my team. It's good but it has it's shortcomings. It's beautifully designed, well laid out, and everyone I have recommended it to seems to love it, both clients and freelancers.

If you want something that is a really detailed and hardcore project management tool, then Basecamp is not the right tool. It is not robust enough to do Gantt Charts, time tracking, to-do list scheduling, billing, creating critical paths, resource allocation, and give accurate percentages for completed work.

I have yet to find a hardcore project management tool that I can really work with. I used DotProject awhile back and I thought it was great, but my team did not take to it too well because it was not visually appealing (this is basecamp's advantage). I am going to look into this activeCollab though.
