The essentials before going into detail.

Timetta

A cloud PPM and PSA software, published by RED Lab LLC, in Skolkovo (Moscow). It comes in a Lite version for small teams and a PPM/PSA version for large organizations, in the cloud or on premises. It covers projects, programs, resources, time, finance, invoicing and clients.

pylotik

An operational commitment management software, designed and hosted in France by orgatypik SAS, in Toulouse. Built during turnarounds and restructurings of service centers, it brings together contracts, projects and maintenance, workload plan, time, margin, committees and decisions on a single set of data, which the client consults and validates for free.

The main difference

Timetta approaches profitability through resource booking, finance and the invoice. pylotik approaches it through what makes it vary on a commitment: the relationship with the client (scope, dates, validations) and the team (workload, wear, departures). It does not issue invoices: it connects to the ERP, through a connector built to your needs, to send it the billing orders.

Each one's profile

Timetta: a project-based company that wants to bring portfolio, resources, finance, CRM and invoicing together in one tool, with no European hosting constraint. pylotik: any organization that runs projects (industry, construction, engineering, digital, public service) and wants to hold the margin of its commitments with its clients and its teams, on data hosted in France.

In all honesty

Where Timetta remains the better choice.

Timetta is a better fit in specific cases. When the invoice must be issued in the same tool, with no ERP alongside: pylotik does not issue invoices: it connects to the ERP, through a connector built to your needs, to send it the billing orders. When accounting entries and an integrated CRM (clients, contacts, deals) are part of the need: pylotik has neither accounting nor CRM. When a documented API and reporting automation are central, or when an on-premises installation is required: Timetta meets these needs, pylotik does not.

One factual point to check against your requirements: Timetta states that its data is stored in Yandex Cloud data centers located in Russia, with on-premises installation remaining possible in the PPM/PSA version. The vendor's site is in English and Russian; the interface language is not specified. pylotik is hosted in France and its interface is in French.

Alternative to Timetta

Where pylotik is a relevant alternative.

Timetta targets consulting and integration companies; pylotik, any organization that runs projects. For the profitability of your projects and your commitments, it brings in the client and team management. It was built during turnarounds and restructurings of service and project centers. It covers workload plan, time, fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts, ordered, invoiced, paid, amount still due, cost and margin at completion (see project financial tracking). Timetta's public documentation describes no client portal, no meetings, no decision log and no maintenance contracts: these are the features that pylotik links to the margin.

  • Free client access The client portal lets the client follow what concerns them and validate what is submitted to them, without seeing margins, workload or HR data.
  • Committees that produce decisions Agenda, minutes submitted to the client (validation, refusal with a reason, correction request), decisions, actions, shared or internal risks. See project governance.
  • Team management Workload plan, weekly time, weekly report, reviews, feedback whose author chooses the recipient: team steering sees the overload before the departures. Nobody is rated, nothing is scored.
  • Maintenance in the core Maintenance contract management tracks period, volume in days, catalog and indicators shared with the client; in addition, intervention scheduling (Business tier) is done by the half-day, with acceptance through the client's signature.

With pylotik, commitments, decisions and validations rest on a common reference. This is the meaning of commitment steering.
