How does daily billing work?

Users cost 15 EUR per month. All persons listed under 'Active Persons' are counted as users. If persons are added or deactivated in the middle of the month, MOCO calculates proportionally on a daily basis. For this reason, the number of users or the amount on the invoice may be odd.

Are the costs dependent on user roles?

The costs are independent of the functions used. Access rights can be reduced or expanded at any time.

Cost control for freelancers / externals?

Users can be deactivated at any time. For example, freelancers can be activated only during working hours and MOCO will only calculate this activated time.

How does support work at MOCO?

MOCO is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) with > 40'000 users without a contract. As a product team, we personally take care of all your concerns. This has proven itself for the following reasons: Ensuring the best possible service quality. Problems and suggestions come directly to us (further development closely based on general needs). The subscription costs can be kept low for everyone. All users can contact us via the in-app service at the bottom right in MOCO. We respond promptly. Tip: Describe the request well and send a screenshot – this is the most efficient way to clarify a question for both sides!

Is there an online demo?

Yes. You can test MOCO for 30 days free of charge. The demo account can be converted into a paid account at any time.

Are training sessions possible?

Yes. On request, MOCO offers individual online sessions.

Where can I find a kind of "manual"?

On the website under » Features all areas and topics are illustrated and described.

Do you also have videos?

On our » Vimeo video portal you will find tutorials on various topics (regularly updated).

Can I also subscribe without a credit card?

Yes, MOCO can also be subscribed via SEPA direct debit. The option is only available in EURO countries. Attention: In case of withdrawal, penalty fees are incurred, which we pass on.

Do I have access to backups?

Backups are created twice a day. However, access to the backup is only possible with a Private Cloud (booking of your own server instance). Each account can regularly use the export options and if very important data has been deleted by a user by mistake, we can restore an earlier state from the backups on request. » More information on security & operation

Will I be informed about further development (included in the subscription)?

In the app, always click on the bell in the top right corner when it turns red! In addition, we send an overview of the latest updates to the account holder 4 times a year.

Can I manage two companies within one account?

If the companies are legally separate or if you need a separate invoice number range and separate reports, it is recommended to create one account per company. If persons are registered with the same e-mail address, they can simply switch between the accounts at the top right (globe symbol) .

Where can I access my subscription invoices?

All invoices are available for download in the settings under 'Subscription'. If you also provide an e-mail address for the invoice address, MOCO will automatically send the invoice to this e-mail address as well.

Tips

Notify

Almost everywhere on the detail page > Comments

The @mention functionality is familiar to most who use Trello, Slack, Twitter, or WhatsApp groups. It allows you to easily and specifically notify individuals.

When you type under "Notes & Files" @M..., all colleagues whose names start with "M" are offered as options. For example, if we select @MiaMaier and add a message: "@MiaMaier Please create a proposal for the lead here". Mia then receives a notification with this request and can either respond or take action immediately.

Comments & Files

Almost everywhere on the detail page > Comments (see above)

(English image not yet available)

History

On the detail page for a client, project, invoice, etc., there is a section at the bottom of the page called "Comments". This is where you can add supporting material and your own notes. MOCO also automatically shows events for traceability here, for example budget adjustments, status changes, and texts and information about email sending.

To make it easy to tell them apart, your own comments are highlighted in blue, and others in grey

Files

The file upload is intended for supporting material such as a contract or a briefing, and can, for example, be used as a personnel file for staff. For quick access, files are also listed at the top alongside the detail information in some places.

Voice Input

Voice input lets you add comments more quickly. Voice input is available on all pages with a comments section. As this is an AI feature, it must be enabled under Account > AI.

Labels (Tags) vs. Custom Fields

Benefits of Labels and Comparison with Custom Fields

Labels are useful for temporary marking or categorisation. You can specifically filter lists (2) and reports by labels.

Custom Fields are used for individual data extension of master data. Entries can also be found via the search (magnifying glass or Shift +7) (Example: Find person by Bahncard number). Depending on the field type, you can display these in the info block on the proposal/invoice (Example: PO number). For the "Date" field type, you can set up a notification (Example: Client contract expiry date).
Custom fields are also directly possible for proposals and invoices, as well as for additional services.

» More information on Custom Fields

Commonality: Both labels and custom fields are included in Excel exports, aiding further processing or additional individual evaluations.

Smart Filter

Quick Overview, Get Important Tasks Done

In MOCO, the so-called "Smart Filters" are integrated across all areas. They highlight projects with specific characteristics in the client project list, such as over budget, past the target date, billable, or without a billing plan. Clicking on the Smart Filter (visually a sub-navigation point) then filters specifically by this characteristic.

MOCO uses these characteristics to indicate where action is required. Typically, this means some action is necessary. Completing the task automatically reduces the number displayed in the Smart Filter.

A Smart Filter only appears when the characteristic is present.
Once everything is completed, the Smart Filter disappears.

Notification
You can also choose to receive notifications about these matters.

Smart Filter "Without Label"
If you use labels and your goal is for all items in a list to be labelled, you can enable the "Without Label" Smart Filter in the settings for the desired areas.

The Global Search

Access: Magnifying glass top right or keyboard shortcut "/ " (Shift + 7)

With the global search, you can quickly jump to the desired client, contact, invoice, etc. – or find suppliers, people, etc. using custom fields.

Search via Custom Fields — Example Use Case

You categorize your suppliers with a custom "Multiple Choice" field by industry or material: Litho, Printing, Services, etc. In the search, you can then enter "Printing" and all printing companies will be displayed.
