Visma Severa

Visma Severa is used to manage the complete workflow of project-based businesses, from sales and project planning to time tracking, resourcing, invoicing and profitability analysis. A typical workflow starts with a sales opportunity, continues into project planning and resource allocation, and ends with recorded hours, customer invoicing and analysis of project profitability.

Visma Severa is cloud-based and accessed through a web browser or mobile app. Users sign in and work with customers, sales opportunities, projects, tasks, working hours and invoices according to their roles. Data is entered directly or transferred through integrations, while calendar synchronisation and APIs allow information to flow between Severa and other business applications.

With Visma Severa, you can plan projects and resources, track working hours and expenses, create customer invoices, manage sales opportunities and produce reports on project performance and profitability. Teams can also use Gantt charts and Kanban boards for project planning and connect Severa with financial, CRM, BI and other business applications.

Visma Severa is designed for project-based professional services businesses. Typical users include project managers, consultants, finance teams, sales teams, resource managers and company leaders. It is particularly suited to consulting, IT services, engineering and architecture, marketing and creative agencies, where employees work across customer projects and profitability depends heavily on effective use of time and resources.

Visma Severa uses subscription-based pricing per user. Current plans start from €25.90 per user per month for the Basic plan, while higher tiers add functionality for areas such as project management, resource management and business intelligence. Pricing varies by plan, billing period and selected features, and enterprise requirements can be quoted separately.

Yes. Visma Severa offers a free trial that allows businesses to test the software before purchasing a subscription. There is no permanent free plan; continued use after the trial requires one of Severa's paid subscription plans.

Visma Severa is a strong choice for professional services businesses that want to manage sales, projects, resources, time tracking and invoicing in one system. Its key strength is connecting project delivery with financial performance and profitability. It is less suitable for businesses that need a traditional ERP system focused on manufacturing, warehousing or complex supply-chain management.

Visma Severa provides a role-based interface where employees can quickly record working hours, manage tasks and access relevant project information. Project managers and administrators use more advanced functionality for resourcing, invoicing and reporting. As with most PSA systems, basic daily use is relatively straightforward, while configuration, reporting and resource planning require more initial setup and training.

Visma Severa is part of Visma and follows Visma's security and privacy framework for cloud software.

Customer data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements, including GDPR.

Visma Severa is owned by Visma, a European provider of business software. Severa became part of Visma through the acquisition of Finnish software company Severa Oy and is now offered as one of Visma's solutions for professional services and project-based businesses.

Visma Severa is a product within the Visma Group rather than a standalone company with its own publicly listed CEO. The product is developed and operated within Visma's portfolio of software solutions for professional services businesses.

Visma Severa originates from Finland, where Severa Oy was founded in 2004 to develop software for professional services and project-based businesses. The company later became part of Visma, and the product continues today as Visma Severa, combining project management, time tracking, resourcing, sales and invoicing.
