Setting Up Multiple Customer Projects

Question

I am an Implementations Director for a SaaS company.  I am trying to set up all of our customer implementation projects in one place to track & manage, essentially a portfolio for our projects. Is it best to do this in Jira or Confluence? What is the best way to go about setting this up? Do I create a Jira project for each implementation?

I've used Jira and Confluence in the past, but not for tracking implementation projects so any help would be great.

Some of our requirements are:

* Create tasks to assign out to project team members
* Ability for customers to report issues against a project
* Time tracking against the project
* Dashboard to track KPIs on our projects
* Likely need to have some custom fields on the projects, i.e. Red/Yellow/Green project health, revenue, etc.

I am looking for something similar and was curious if you were able to make progress.. Tracking projects across multiple customers does not seem straightforward.
